Welcome Lita & Grandpa Visit

The morning my parents were to arrive my father got a little upset at the mention of them taking Marta upon their arrival.  So to make sure we started the visit out right, we pulled out all the stops. 

 

I cut out some letters with my nifty silhouette cameo, and had the girls make a poster welcoming our folks; hence the backwards D.

 

Took a trip to the dollar store and bought balloons, a clapper, and noise makers.  In hind sight the noise makers (at the airport) were not the wisest decision, as I spooked everyone coming up the escalator including my folks. 

 

But you can see the look on their faces were priceless.  Totally worth the skipped nap and traffic there and back. :)

 

We were all happy to see them, we miss them a great deal.

Tea party for Mr.Cary

The girls could not wait to set up high tea for our soon to be Uncle Cary.  

And I could not wait to try out this meatloaf recipe...so yummy. 

Abigail turns 3!!!

 

 

I spent a good bit of today pondering the day that Abigail came into this world.  It was full of drama, but at the end of the day none of it mattered because Tim & I held our perfect little girl in our arms.  It seems like only yesterday I held her in my arms for the first time.  

  

How would I describe Abigail at three? She is very curious and although she's small for her age, her personality is big.  I believe her teacher uses the word "spunky", she keeps everyone in check and doesn't take anything from anyone. One of our favorite things she does is ask "what dat?" or "for meee?". She's a Princess to the "T", always insisting on wearing pretty dresses and bows in her hair.  She loves her music and is ready to put on a dance show for anyone who will pay attention.
 

 

This years party was Princess Ice Cream.   We rented an ice cream truck & Abigail had a great time passing out ice cream to her friends.  

 

 

Here is our fun crowd of cousins, siblings, and friends....it was a good time had by all. 

 

 

 

It's not a birthday party without cake!  After all that sugar, I wouldn't be surprised if a few choice words were said about us during bed time.  My girls were hyped up, that's for sure. 

At her three year check up my little mouse weighed in at 26lbs 6oz & is 36in high.  Which puts her at 9% in weight and 26% in height.   We went up on the growth chart, although still has a long way she's catching up.

Not sure what warms my heart more, that my girls like to share a bed or that they love to read.  

Best Dad goes to....

Timothy Andrew Walker.  Just when I am at my wits end with the stresses of life I find this: 

This is just one of the many reasons I love my husband.  He's a wonderful father.

Timmy @ Six Months

 Timmy's birthdate falling on the first makes it easy to remember when he hits his milestones.  I still can't believe that it's been six months since he made his appearance.  His Mohawk has been chopped off  but he's still the adorable little man we know. 

 

At his 6 month checkup he weighed in at 16.5lbs and 25.75in tall.  Putting him at 25 & 22% respectively.  Going down on the growth chart, but normal for breastfed babies.

 

This is his big accomplishment, grabbing his feet and sticking them in his mouth.  Such a cute attribute in a baby, not very cute in adults. :)  He also lifts his bottom and chest up, but not at the same time & rolls around all over the place.

 

He continues to be a sweet baby, only crying when he needs something.
