Christmas Portraits

I know it has been forever since I have posted...I have taken a gazillion pictures and I intend to post them all but I think I need to work my way from the present back...so..here are the christmas portraits we had taken...these are not only our family portrait for 2007, but Meghan's 2 year portrait and Hailey's 1 year portrait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGHAN!!!!!!

Two years ago you were born and our lives changed forever...I became a mother and we became a family.
Although a part of me will always wish that you could stay this age forever, another part can't wait to watch you grow and learn and see what kind of person you will become.
Over the past two years we have watched in amazement as you have grown and changed, as you are finding your place in this world.
I can't imagine my life without you and no matter how old you get, you will always be my baby.
We love you so very much sweet baby!
Love,
Mommy , Daddy, Hailey and Michael

Birthday Party Playdate

On Friday (the day before I went into labor with Michael) another mommy from our playgroup, Jhanna and I hosted a birthday party for our girls. Her little sweetie turns one 1 in December as well. We had a wonderful time! Thanks, Jhanna and HAPPY BIRTHDAY McKENZIE!!!!!

All the party guests were boys!!

The very last preggo pics of me.....

The birthday girls......

The girls loved their cake!!!

McKenzie's first time eating cake.....what a cutie..she had a ball!!!

My ladies were marginally more civilized, they ate their cake with forks....

Biggie Girl

As coincidence would have it, I had bought Hailey her "big girl" carseat the day I went into labor! Prior to that she was still in the infant seat...she was too big for it but she loved it so much that I held off switching her until the last minute...literally the last minute as it turns out!

Announcing Michael Manny

Michael Manny decided that he didn't want to wait until the 6th.....I went into labor at around 6 pm on Saturday while shopping at Walmart....we got to the hospital around 11pm..(I was waiting to make sure that it was the real thing) and Michael was born at 1:30 am on Sunday, December 2, 2007. He weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and is 20 inches long. He has hair....(not alot) and lighter colored eyes so we will see how that turns out. He is so sweet and perfect and we are both doing GREAT!!!! Meghan and Hailey are both very excited and curious about their new baby brother. We will be going home tommorrow so I will try to keep up as best as I can.
