Ellie's first week

Ellie's first week has been busy and fun. She LOVES to sleep, eat, and poop. And doing all of those things makes her a very happy baby. Isabelle is really enjoying being a big sister and loves to help take care of her little sister. Below are some pictures of Ellie's first week of life.

We broke out of the hospital on Tuesday and had a nice relaxing car ride home. Ellie slept the whole way home. She looked so little in her car seat.

Ellie loves her bouncy seat. She likes to sleep with the music blasting and the lights flashing in her face. I think she is going to be a great sleeper like her Mom.

Ellie and Papa. Her cheeks look huge in this picture. But she really doesn't have chubby cheeks yet. But as you can see Papa has a calming effect on her.

We all went to Felix's second birthday party over the weekend. Uncle Dave is helping Isabelle swing at the pinata. This was Ellie's first birthday party. She slept through most of it :)

Felix got a few good whacks on the pinata.

Isabelle is singing the "sunshine song" to Ellie.

Our Newest Addition!

Eleanor Rose entered this world Saturday night at 8:45PM. She is super healthy and weighed in at 7.2 lbs and is 20.25 inches. Isabelle, her big sister, thinks she is "cute"! We can't wait for everyone to meet her!! The paparazzi has already taken a few pictures!

Fall Fun and Nesting

It has been quite a while since we last created a post. We have been busy enjoying the beautiful fall weather and getting ready for Isabelle's baby sister to arrive. My due date is 2 weeks from today, but truth be told, I think we are all ready to meet this little girl and start our lives as a family of four :)

Below is a quick recap of what we have been up to.

A few weeks ago we headed North to go to Christina's wedding shower. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful spot to celebrate Pete and Christina's upcoming wedding. Above is a picture of the happy couple.

Isabelle and Mommy walking down to look at the water. This is a special place for us. This is where George and I had our rehearsal dinner (during a monsoon :))

We also got to hang out with Melissa. It was a special treat for us because Melissa lives far away. Isabelle and Melissa were having fun being silly together.

Isabelle and Daddy spent the afternoon in Boston while I was working. They went to the Frog Pond and had lunch with Marc.

Isabelle and Red hanging out.

This past weekend we had a play date with Kelly, Fern, Juliana, and Tyler. The picture above is the 3 munchkins eating pizza.

On Sunday we went to 2 farms to find a pumpkin for our "pumpkin." We had a great time farm stand hopping with Aunt Jen and Unlce Greg.

A rare picture of the 3 of us. For some reason these things really crack me up !!
