Crafty!

We have been busy!  I have had fun making matching shirts for Landon and Olivia and just making her all sorts of things on my embroidery machine!  Also making her a few bows....because she needs more....



Here are Landon and Olivia's matching Halloween shirts!
Just love this turkey for Olivia!

We visited Uncle Mark in Athens for his birthday.  Landon was so cute pushing Olivia around downtown Athens!
Diving home from Athens - Landon coping his Papa!
Finally got her name hung on the wall!

Olivia is here!

Our baby girl arrived by schedule c-section on August 22nd at 9:01 am.  She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and 19 inches long.  (The exact same as Landon - crazy!)  Everything was easier this time.  I think knowing ahead of time about the c-section makes it mentally easier - but recovery was much faster and easier this time.  She is a great sleeper and eater.  We named her Olivia Anne.  Mike's father's mother was Olivia and Anne after Gagi (Mary Anne) and Kathryn Anne.

Landon loves Olivia.  It took him a little bit to become interested in her - but he is such a good big brother, she is one lucky girl to have him!

Here are some pictures from her first month. 


He is such a copy cat!

 
 
This picture was from the first morning I had the two of them by myself and was able to get all 3 of us dressed and out the door to school on time!
This was our first ride in our new double stroller - it is sooo awesome!

Just a little angel!
This was the first time Landon actually asked to hold Olivia.  Now he likes to do it every night after we have had a bath and gotten her pj's on.
Go Dawgs!
I just love this picture!

Sweet brother and sister!

Here are a few of Olivia's nursery-


Our practice "babies" before Olivia arrived.

 

She didn't love her first bath.....
 



Landon wanted to show Olivia Mickey Mouse and introduce her to all the "friends".  So he asked me to put her chair by him so they could watch an episode together and he would tell her who everyone was.  So cute!

Our friend Blair made Landon this shirt.  Here he is the copy cat again!!

OK liking this bath thing now....

Maternity and Family Portriats

We have found a new photographer! I have known Lori since middle school and have amired her work as a photographer. So, after Mala and Jason moved to California, I knew who I wanted to use to capture our family memories. Here are some shots from the Marietta Square where we did my maternity pictures and some family ones as well!
 






This one just may be an all time favorite!  I love that little face so much!





Summer 2012

We had a very busy summer.  It sure was a hot one - and a joy to be so pregnant!  We were very busy getting ready for our baby girl.  Mike and I also had a trip to Bloomington, Indiana to be a part of our good friend Ashley's wedding!

Here are some pictures from our summer - we sure do have a water boy!
