We have been so busy with activities I haven't had a chance to update!

Sam decided to body paint herself during her art project!
Swim Lessons with her friend Karstyn! She is doing great I took her to our neighborhood pool last weekend and she jumps off the side and can even swim under water from me to the ladder.

Kate getting ready for the Fishers Freedom Festival Parade!

Big Sister loves to kiss Kate!

So proud to be sitting in her big girl Bumbo seat.

She is really growing fast. As you can see she can sit in the bumbo seat on her own. She is reaching for toys and grabbing them. She also sees herself in the mirror and smiles really big it is so cute!!!
Mimi and Grandad babysat and we went to Flemmings for my birthday dinner!!

Swimming with April and Cole!

Staying home with my girls and LOVING every minute of it!

I always said I could never be a full time stay at home mom. I stayed home part time with Sam when she was young and that that would be the most I could do. After a lot of thought and conversations we decided it would be best for our family if I stayed home to take care of the kids. There was an incident that occurred recently that couldn't have reassured us more that we made the right decision. These last two weeks of my life have been the best two weeks. Sam and I have become closer than ever and I will never get these days back when my girls grow up. Not to mention as a family we have been more stress free and so much happier to spend more time together and enjoy the little things like sitting down for dinner together. Here are a few pictures of the last two weeks the girls and I have spent together. :-)
The best Big Sister!
We love taking our time waking up together in the morning!

Updates and Memorial Weekend

We had such a great week and Memorial weekend. We spent lots of time at my moms visiting with my brother Bryan and his family. I have lots of pictures to share. Now with two beautiful girls and a new camera I cannot take enough pictures. Little Peanut

Her onesie says "I'm a good luck charm" Perfect considering she was born on St. Patty's day :-)

Kate was 2 months on May 17th!!!








My sweet, sweet Kate. She is SUCH a great baby. Doesn't fuss, sleeps well, and is very low maintenance. She did have two fussy days this week (Wednesday and Thursday) I think because she got her first round of shots on Monday. At her 2 month appointment she checked out great. She is in the 95% for Weight (12 lbs) and Head size and 98% for height (24 1/4 inches). She has also hit her first major milestone with smiles. I got a few half smiles in these second two pictures of her photo shoot. We are really enjoying her being a part of our family.
