Elizabeth's Baptism

Elizabeth was baptized March 1, 2009 on her exact 3 month birthday. It was a wonderful day! We were blessed to have two Grandmas here at the same time. My Mom flew in from Ohio to be Elizabeth's Godmother. Luckily, we also had Stella here who "manned the troops" while we were on the altar for the baptism. Thank God for fruit snacks, right Stella? Heehee;) Elizabeth was an angel the entire mass and slept until the water was poured on her head. She didn't cry but was a little in shock. :) I love the way our church does baptisms. It truly integrates you into the whole mass. Even the songs they sing during communion they put Elizabth's name in. Just like Ella, she wore my baptismal gown. I think that is pretty special. I am going to have it preserved and see if we can make it another generation. Here are some pictures from that day and some extra of the little chunky monkey!
P.S. We do have another daughter but she absolutely refuses to get her picture taken lately. So Ella pictures are soon to come, hopefully! :) Enjoy...

The Best Baby EVER!!!

Things are busy here as usual. I have gone back to work and the children have adjusted beautifully yet again. We are so blessed to have Stella down here watching the children. She is truly a gift from heaven! The kids just love that they get to be at home with Grandma and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to go to work and know that they are being so well taken care of. I just couldn't ask for anything more.

Andrew and Ella are doing great. We moved them into a room together and so far it has gone relatively well. We are still dealing with early wake ups since they start giggling and playing as soon as their eyes open. I am sure it will take awhile for that to wear off.

Elizabeth gets the best baby award! She is unbelievable! She truly is the happiest little thing and a champion sleeper! Last night was her first night that she slept through the entire night! From 9:00-6:00, she was out like a light! Amazing! Most nights she will go to bed around 9 and make it till about 4 or so. Such a good baby! At her 2 month check up she weighed a whopping 11 lbs. 4 oz! And I am sure she has put on at least a pound since then. The girl definitely loves to eat! She is just growing right before our eyes. It is so bittersweet! She coos and "talks" all the time and is working on rolling over. She has started that full body smile. You know when they just wiggle all over when they are smiling because they are so happy to see you!! Nothing like that in the world!

Since I haven't posted in awhile be prepared for LOTS AND LOTS OF PICTURES!!! :)

Andrew is Elizabeth's biggest fan!

Ella, the fashion diva!






I am developing quite an addiction to matching clothes for the girls. :)

Andrew's Pictures

Here are the next round of pictures, this time with Mr. Andrew. What a handsome guy! He did such a wonderful job and we were done in no time. He was quite the little ham.
We are battling the flu here. Ella just got done with it and Andrew still has it. We are praying that little Elizabeth doesn't get it. Andrew always gets such high temps when he is sick and it just scares me to death. Last night he woke up with 104.5! Poor guy! Hoping he is feeling better soon!
