Easter,Catchup &April Showers

It’s been a busy spring for us around here with the kiddos. Sarah’s growing quickly and is overall a happy baby. She loves to watch her big brother run and play and Peter loves to make her laugh –almost as much as he loves his wooden trains! ;)

Our spring started out with Peter as ringbearer in Grandpa Graesser’s wedding to Charlotte. What a great weekend with the family! Shortly after that we got to take Peter to “A Day Out With Thomas”and let him ride a real Thomas the Train! Thanks Gramma and Pacca for coming with us.

A few weeks later we got hit by a huge hail storm! You can check out the damages in “Storm of ’11″photo album. Needless to say,we’ll be enjoying a new roof soon,courtesy of our insurance company. Thank goodness for insurance!

We’ve also had tons of fun celebrating Easter and taking Sarah’s monthly photos. Check out the highlights of  the last few months below.

 

Two Month Photos,Stitches and Snow

We had a wonderful Christmas and Peter had tons of fun with family this year,and Peter really seemed to get into the spirit of things. What a blessed Holiday Season we had!

Smiling

But with the new year comes new adventures,like Peter busting his chin and getting seven stitches on New Years Day –oh no! We took them out a few days ago and it’s healing up nicely now but it was no fun! Peter’s glad to have the “strings”out of his chin now.

The day after Peter’s injury,little Sarah turned two months old. She let me take a couple of photos but I still can’t catch any of her big grins on camera –just the small smirks. Oh well!

For some reason she likes to pose like a gangster,even with her cute hat on! Right after I gave up taking photos - she decided to smile and be happy - this was at the tail end of her happy streak ;) Two month comparison shot.

So far most of the year has been spent by Peter playing with his new toys from Christmas,especially his wooden Thomas the Train set. But yesterday he took a break from that to play outside in the snow –we got about 2 inches that’s slowly starting to melt.

Snow ball! She didn't like the snow too much... Smiles! I still haven't caught one of her huge grins on camera yet.

One Month Old Photos

I wanted to post some comparison shots of Peter and Sarah,at birth and one month. You can see them below.

Sarah’s sleeping around 7 hours a night now without interruption and is eating about every 3 hours during the day. She’s following in Peter’s footsteps in nearly everything but her spitting up. Luckily she doesn’t do it nearly as often as her brother –must be more lady-like!

Sarah’s Newborn photos

Our good friend Pam of Ladybug Portraits (who took my maternity photos) also took some wonderful newborn photos of Sarah when she was two weeks old. Our favorites are posted below

Sarah will be six weeks old tomorrow and weighs around 10 lbs now. She’s starting to fit into her 0-3month clothes now and . . . →Read More:Sarah’s Newborn photos

Becoming a Family of Four

Sarah’s two week appointment was on Thursday and she weighed a hefty 7lbs 10 oz,measuring 20″long. She’s only in the 25% while Peter was in the 95% at his two week appointment! What a difference!

Peter’s been doing really well with Sarah and likes to hold her. We’ve done our best to include . . . →Read More:Becoming a Family of Four

Sarah’s first appointment

We went to have Sarah weighed today and she’s already up to 6 lbs 15 oz. She had lost a few ounces before we left the hospital (this is normal) and the doctor was amazed that she’s already above her birth weight. Apparently they don’t usually get there until two weeks or later –but . . . →Read More:Sarah’s first appointment

Welcoming Sarah Grace!

Sarah Grace was born at 7:53 pm on Tuesday,November 2,2010 at Baylor Frisco Hospital. She weighed 6 lbs,13.5 oz and was 19″long. Dark blue eyes and just a little bit of brown hair,just like her brother. I’m sure she’ll lose it all soon just like he did too! She’s nursing . . . →Read More:Welcoming Sarah Grace!

Maternity Photos and Updates

Our good friend Pam of Ladybug Portraits took some maternity photos of me this past week. I wanted to post a few preview shots here. She also took some pictures of big brother Peter and did such a great job with all of them!

We’ve been working hard on installing new floors this past month . . . →Read More:Maternity Photos and Updates

Baby Sarah’s Registries

I’ve had a few people ask what we need for Baby Sarah so I thought I’d make a few small registries just in case. We don’t really need much,but every store has different things and people like shopping different places,so here you go:
