Big Bed... Big News

We are pleased to report that Lilly has successfully slept in her big girl bed for 5 days in a row. Halleluliah! Surrounded by stuffed animals, pillows galore and cozy blankets, Lilly has found comfort in her new resting spot. Nap time and night time are usually uninterrupted, but occasionally she wanders out of her room at least once. Mom can't get used to Lilly's escape from her room each morning. Lilly wanders down the hall around 6am to find her sleeping parents and baby sister... that will take some getting used to!

April/May Slideshow

This show highlights Claire's first month and other family events.

Cinco de Mayo... Cinco de Mia!

Today, Scott and Monica (Rob's brother and sister-in-law) welcomed their third child to the family.
Baby Mia Valentina was born at 12:20pm weighing 8lb 9oz and 21 in. Monica and baby are resting and doing well. They are in Denver, Colorado.
Welcome to the family, Mia! Lilly and Claire send their love and can't wait to see you later this summer. We love you already.

New and Old Slideshows

We have added two new slideshows.

Pre-Claire's arrival:
The first slideshow has photos from the month of March which include Easter, a trip to the zoo and much more!!!






The second has photos from Claire's first week at home. Grandma Connie was a big help all week long and is Lilly's new buddy. Lilly loves her new baby sister and has yet to clobber her over the head with anything:)




Click on the pictures to watch the slideshows.
By the way, we have been asked about ordering some of the photos. When you are done with the slideshow, you can click on the "X" on the slideshow control panel. From the Picasa Web Album page that comes up, you can order individual photos.

Enjoy!
