One of my favorite things...

You know what I love about bedtime? I love being able to snuggle with my two girls and reading a book. I love having both of them sit with me and spending that precious time together. These will be wonderful memories to look back on. Thank you, God, for putting these two special girls in my life!

5 months old

Our sweet Ali has turned 5 months old! She is so sweet and we love her so much. I know I have said this before, but she truly is the happiest baby that I have ever been around! She is such a blessing in our lives!

Birthdays

Last month, we celebrated Papa's 60th birthday and Daddy's birthday. (I know, I'm a little late in my posting). We had lots of fun and celebrated all weekend! We also enjoyed seeing everyone!

Cousins

Jake, 5; Josh, 3; Ali 5 months; Claire 22 months

During Papa's birthday celebration, we took a minute to get the cousin's pictures taken. It was quite an experience. :) Claire has a lot to learn about taking pictures! She does not want to sit anywhere longer than a few seconds. So, whoever is taking the picture must snap fast!!! The kids are getting so big and I look forward to seeing them grow up together. :)

Easter 2010

We celebrated Easter by going to church, having lunch with Cookie, Papa and Grandmother and finally, hunting Easter eggs at least a dozen times! Claire was quite a fan of hunting eggs and didn't get very tired of it at all. :) It was such a beautiful day that we all didn't mind being outside most of the day. :)

Serious talk....

Eating Cereal

Ali has started cereal and is not sure what to think about it. She is getting the hang of it, but isn't as an enthusiastic eater as her sister was. :) Here are some pics of her first bites. I also had to throw in a pic of Claire with Ali. Claire loves giving Ali lots of kisses. :)

Mmmmm, it's not so bad. :)

Pucker up!!Oh yea, Claire gives big hugs too. :)

4 months old

Time has escaped me, again, and I am late in posting pics of Ali turning 4 months old. Time flies by when you have two little girls keeping you busy!! She is such a happy baby! She loves watching Claire and is amazed at the things Claire can do. Ali has also found her voice in the last few weeks. She gets excited and yells happily. When Ali starts screaming it is not too hard to get Claire screaming as well. It has become rather loud at our house, but it is such a good noise to hear! Thank you, God, for blessing our lives so richly!!
