A few family pics...

Miss Priss Giberish

(pause the music on the right to hear Maddy)

3 months old

Madelyn is 3 months old now! She has become quite vocal with her baby gibberish and loves to laugh and giggle. Brynne has a great time showing her off to friends and playing the big sister role. Poor Beau is not going to get a word in after a few years...


Sisters


Trip with friends to the zoo

And this is how she sleeps...


Breakfast and cartoons with your "sissy"...doesn't get much better than that :o)!!

Easter

Miss Priss

Mimi and her girls...baby Lily will be the 4th grandbaby (Emily's little girl) to be added to the group this May!

Pops assessing the damage

Spring is here!

The girls and I headed to the Arboretum with some friends to celebrate the beginning of spring! It's gorgeous there..all the tulips were in bloom. It was "mommy and me" Monday, so Brynne was able to enjoy face painting, dancing, and a petting zoo!
It's hard to believe Madelyn is almost 6 weeks old!

Madelyn Virginia Schmidt

Madelyn Virginia Schmidt arrived 2/17/10 at 1:43pm at 7lbs, 11.5 oz. It was a great labor and delivery experience this time, and Madelyn has been so sweet! Brynne is adjusting quite well and loves assuming her role as the big sister. "Maddy" looks just like Beau's baby picture...yes more than Brynne! Life with 2 girls is keeping us super busy, and tired...but we love them!










Had to include a picture of the amazing lobster and steak dinner the hospital gives the parents the second night of their stay. I can still taste that chocolate cake!




The girls first meeting


Still swollen from the labor...here is Maddy all dressed just a few hours after she was born!

Baby Shower for Madelyn

My friends blessed me with a precious baby shower to prepare for Madelyn. This girl is going to be set when she arrives!

The food was amazing!




These are my prego friends...we're all due within a few weeks of each other!


My fabulous sis-in-law and mother-in-law. Thanks for hosting Emily, Kara, Meagan, Ashley, Paula, and Charity!

Christmas '09

We were blessed with a white Christmas this year! It snowed the week before and on Christmas Eve! Brynne was able to celebrate Christmas twice, once with the Schmidt family and then again on Christmas with us and pops. It was so much fun this year since she knew what was going on!



Santa brought Brynne at Tinkerbell Bike!

Tutus were the hit of the day!

Brynne's 3rd Birthday

It is SO hard to believe Brynne is 3!! She's very into Little Mermaid/Ariel and anything princess, so of course we had to go with that theme for her birthday!.

Family Pics Nov '09

We had some family portraits made in November with all the family! It's so hard to get a good picture of everyone together these days...with 2 squirmy girls...which will be 4 next year!
