Favorite Family pics

We had some pictures taken in June by a local photographer Corrie Owens and just love the pics she got of the girls!









Annelise's 1st Birthday

Annelise turned 1 on July 11th! She is walking around now..trying to keep up with Charlotte. She likes to say 'bye', 'ball', 'mama', and 'dada.' She is a great sleeper, especially at night...goes to bed by 7 pm and sleeps to 7:30 am. She still takes 2 naps but her afternoon nap is short. She is such a blessing to us!


The birthday girl...
Not sure what to think about the presents...
Walking with Nana...
She loved the singing and excitement!
And of course loved the cupcake!

Charlotte's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Charlotte's 3rd birthday on May 27th...its so hard to believe she is 3! (or "free" as she puts it).

She loved her birthday crown...

The girls trying to share a chair..
Checking out a new book...
With Dad....
I love cake and ice cream!
In her new sandbox...
Playing jacks with Nana...
Nor particularly fond of all the attention she got when everyone was singing...
Mimi needed to wear these items...
David and me (15 weeks pregnant here)...


Baby #3 news!

"LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago."

Isaiah 25:1

Baby #3 is due November 27th!! We are really excited to welcome this new life into our family, right around Thanksgiving. Life will be BUSY - Charlotte will be 3 1/2 and Annelise 16 1/2 months so we will have our hands full. We had our first ultrasound today and are thankful that we have a healthy baby!

Easter

Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed!




Annelise at 9 months

Annelise at 9 months - she weighs 19 lbs 14 ozs (75%), she is 29 inches long (95%), and her head is in the 50% percentile....she is a tall, lean little girl! She has been crawling since she was 6 1/2 months old and is now pulling up too. She has a LOT to say...guess she has to keep up with Charlotte!

She is excited that Charlotte let her try her sucker..

Pulling up, looking out the window..


Engagement!

We are so happy that Uncle George is getting married! George and soon-to-be Aunt Amy are getting married on May 7 in Princeton. David has the privilege of performing the ceremony and Charlotte will be the flower girl. She is so excited, we've actually been practicing. She wanted to make sure it was OK to actually step on the flowers after she throws them down :-) Here are some pictures of all of us over Christmas this year.

Amy jumped right into playing with the girls :-)
