We got a gray couch from Ikea and she sits up pretty nicely on it. I thought I should take a few of her in her favorite outfit ;)

It has been so fun to take pictures of our little girl. I have learned to just snap 100 photos and maybe one or two will be in focus :) She is constantly moving. I love these sweet smiles.

Sisters and Cousins

My sisters and I were all pregnant at the same time this year. Me on #1 and both of them on baby #3. So our daughters will each have 2 cousins only weeks apart in age. Here are some of the latest trio pics. The last photo is when Jonathan walked out in the backyard to find us bending over holding up our babies… Looked a little more like a boob shot than a baby photo opt.

Adolai 2.5 Months

Its two days before Adolai’s surgery and 3 days from closing on our new house. To pass the time and try and keep positive, why not make my little girl smile and snap some photos of it. Oh, and yes, I am posting the last two months all today!  I’m sure I will be a bit of a basket case while we are at the hospital waiting on our baby… For now I feel calm and very thankful we have found what the lump is and how to fix it. For information’s sake, she has a hernia in her pelvis area that her ovary can fall into. The danger in that is her ovary twisting and possibly loosing blood supply. Its a small cut and a surgery that will take 45mins. We will probably be at the hospital for most of the day, but we can bring her home that evening. Praying that we would feel a peace and calm during the process and that everything is routine and successful. My sister suggested asking the surgeon’s success rate on this procedure… I think I’ll just believe its 100%! More updates and photos to come. Glad to have the resources to heal our baby and excited to be in our new home.

Backyard Snapshots

I’ve been staying with my Mom for the last few weeks while Jonathan stays in Austin for work. Its been hard to be away from him, but the time spent with my Mom is very special. It has been such a peaceful place to be in the middle of all the chaos going on around us. Fortunately she is a photographer and LOVES to photograph her little grands… So here are a couple we took in the backyard.

Trick or Treat 2009

We gathered at my sister’s house for the Carr Family Fall Festival! Caremel apples, pumpkin carving, seafood gumbo, and a little trick or treating. Our little pumpkin seemed to be ok with it all :)… She slept for most of the festivities. I sure enjoyed the apples, YUM

Adolai at 2 Months

I’m having some fun taking pictures of our little one. She was in a fun mood, so I figured I should snap away!
