weekend catch-up

This weekend was full of family time. I love love loved every minute of it. Little Miss L. is still adjusting to life as a big sister and baby D is changing each day. Baby D has mastered the skill of smiling and I am loving every minute of it. Here are a few things that happened this weekend...
There have been a lot of tears since her little brother has arrived. Still adjusting to sharing mommy and daddy's attention.
We all know who the big kid is!
Baby D's first trip to the park.
There is the happy little girl I am used to seeing.
Building a castle with daddy.
This is what happens when you let Little Miss L. eat yogourt by herself.
It's official, my little girl can say the alphabet off by heart.
Our little man love love loves to sleep...
even through diaper changes.
I love these little toes.
Someone has had a little bit of an attitude lately.
My little guy sleeping again.
My grandparents celebrating 60 years of marriage!
Good ol' family gathering.
That's right folks - when you have been married that long, you deserve a message from the Queen!

big sister in training

Little Miss L. has been preparing for her little brother`s arrival and I must say she is doing a pretty good job. I know the months ahead are going to be tough on her, I can only imagine how she will feel when her mom and dad walk in the door with a new family member. This can be an earth shattering experience for a child -they are used to being mom and dad`s number one because that is the only thing they have known and then one day, out of the blue, a little baby arrives who likes to cry and take up a lot of their mom and dad`s time... it would probably put me in a bad mood too! The hubby and I are determined to keep some normalcy in Little Miss L.`s life but we hope over time she will welcome her brother with open arms and remember how much her mommy and daddy love her. In the meantime, she has been working hard practicing how to feed, change, and hold the baby. I know she is going to be such a good big sister.
