Look mom! It snowed!

When Anne woke up this morning, she looked outside and said "Look mom! It snowed! I want to go play in it!!!" She bugged me all morning until I let her go outside. Two minutes later she said "I'm cold!" and we went back inside for a hot chocolate! Such a funny little girl! Good thing I took her out when I did since it was all melted about an hour later!

Nana went home last Tuesday but not before I got a picture of her with Sophia. We tried to get Anne in the photo too but she wasn't in the mood! Thanks mom for all of the help!!! We love you sooo much!

This is Anne getting into the Halloween spirit! Aunt Jessica gave her this shirt and she just loves it! The pumpkin is shiney!

This was Sophia's first sponge bath at home! She didn't like being naked but she liked it when I just washed her hair and she was wrapped up!

We just love this little addition to our family! She will be two weeks old tomorrow! Crazy! We took her in last Tuesday for her first check up. She has already grown 1/2 of an inch and was just one ounce smaller than her birth weight. Her umbilical cord also fell off while we were there! She is just such a sweetheart and Anne loves her baby sister!

Introducing Sophia Grace

First off, I'm so sorry to the family members who have been waiting for me to update our blog so that you can see photos of our new beautiful baby girl! I've been a little distracted but here you go!

We decided to be induced since we live an hour away from the hospital we were going to be delivering at and didn't want to chance Dan being at work, in the bottom of the mine and me going into labor! So, this is me right before changing into the hospital gown. We had to be there at 6:00 am...way too early! But, I hadn't been sleeping well anyway.

After a quick delivery, this is the beautiful bundle of joy that we were blessed with! Sophia Grace was born at 11:16 am weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce and 21" long. She had a little bit of fluid in her lungs but she was able to work it out of her system on her own quickly so she is good and healthy.

Sophia is such a good little sleeper!

Sisters meeting for the first time. Anne just loves Sophie! She just can't get enough of her little sister. It is going to be a bit of adjustment for Anne but she'll be OK. She is already a big helper and wants to hold and kiss Sophie all of the time!

The girls!

Daddy just loves his little girl too!

Sophie's visitors in the hospital. Nana is staying with us for the week and brought Anne to see us and also Uncle Travis came for a quick visit as well.

Now we are home and Anne right off wanted to hold her sister. I love this photo of Sophie sticking out her tongue!

These two girls are going to be good friends! We just love them both so much!!!

And just like I did with Anne, here is a photo of Sophia asleep for the first time at home! It is so great that we finally have Sophie here with us!

The hospital also had someone come in and take photos and it is just too cute to not share! Click here to see the hospital photo of Sophia. However, they have the time as pm instead of am but that is OK...she is still absolutely adorable!
