So Much To Say

There is so much to tell you. Since I blogged last I've had a child, left a job, gotten a new car, new phone, let a nanny go, husband has a new job, new ballet year has started, turned 31, Pierce started Mother's Day Out and... maybe that got it all.

Besides having a beautiful girl named Adelaide and being a stay at homer now (besides ballet and photography!) my favorite event of the last few months was the lake trip for Labor Day. Since I was so pregnant at 4th of July, I had to miss out on my family's annual lake trip. It's as big a deal as Christmas in our family. So my whole sweet family agreed to go again for me :)

This is a very photo heavy post. Here's how it went:

Relaxing on the porch


An Adelaide series I love.

Played "take 2" on the porch while drinking red wine
This made everyone happy
Pierce series I love

Admired George and the blue/green contrast of sky/trees
Played in the slightly chilly water
Watched THIS
And THIS
Wow, she loves Ooba so much
And THIS
Went on a walk down the road and watched Pierce lay down in it.
Watched the Auburn game on the porch
WAR EAGLE!!!
Fly down the field...
We MAY have all broken into the fight song and Pierce LOVED it.

I love the lake. The end.

Mother of Two

Well, being a mother of two has caught me by a bit of surprise. I don't know if it's just that there are two of them, or the fact that one is 2.5 years old. But it is H-A-R-D. At the moment, I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth. I know it will get better. And just look at them. How could I be anything less than perfectly happy?

Do you remember the blanket my mom made for Pierce? She made one for Adelaide too. I love these. Adelaide is rarely without hers. Don't you think she could start selling them? I bet people would pay a ton.

Adelaide

These are from when she was around a week and a half.

Adelaide

We had a beautiful baby daughter on July 13 at 7:53 am. It was a scheduled c-section and it all went so smoothly and wonderfully. Here's the whole story...

Hagen spent the night since Peter and I had to be at the hospital at 5:30. They started out the night like this, but it was so much fun, that there wasn't much sleeping going on and they had to be separated :) Pierce was a little excited about her sister coming and a little freaked out about Mommy going to the hospital.


5:20 am. The pics are a little fuzzy. This may be indicative of how WE were feeling too.
The ONLY bumpy part of the whole experience was that they had a little trouble getting my IV in. I had to be stuck 4 times. Poor me :(Adelaide Lillie is here!!!!
Pierce arrived to meet her about 10:30. She was so happy!
She is so sweet to "my baby" as she calls her.

Adelaide brought Pierce a hopscotch mat. She loved it!We're quite in love.
