Happy girl!

Anna has started smiling...it's so cute! Here are a few pictures from a photo session we had today in this cute outfit!



All that modeling made her tired!

Pictures!!!

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Hallween weekend! Nicholas and Joe carved a pumpkin. This was our 2nd pumpkin...the squirrels ate the first one we bought. Nicholas, John, and Paul all went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and had a great time. Their costumes were a hit thanks to Gina! Anna wore her Hallween dress and stayed home with Papa to hand out candy! Nicholas liked the candy but I'm happy to report that he forgot about it. He didn't ask for it once today! I was worried he was going to want it all day long!

Picture update!

I already feel behind posting pictures of Anna. We're taking them...I just haven't had the time to put them online. I now know why the 2nd child doesn't have as many pictures as the first. I guess that's just the way it goes. Here is a picture of Anna's first bath. Nicholas was really good at pouring water on her. And one of Nicholas and Anna in some Halloween gear!

Firehouse Breakfast!

Nicholas and Joe went to a pancake breakfast at the firehouse this morning! They had a great time "driving" the firetruck and ate lots of pancakes and sausage! He got his own hat and badge!

Anna played with her doll while he was gone!

It's a girl!

We are so happy to welcome our little girl to the family! Anna Marie is here weighing in at 6 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long! She is absolutely beautiful and came out screaming! Nicholas loves his little sister and is going to be a great big brother!

Lyman Orchards

We had a great day on Thursday with John at the apple orchard. We actually ended up picking peaches and raspberries too since most of the apples weren't ready yet! The boys loved tasting the peaches and apples as we picked them. They ate a lot of fruit!
