Christmas



I have to put this picture of Bill up, he will probably make me take it off but I have to giggle to my self. Bill and I had the conversation about Christmas shopping and wether or not he wanted to go with me. He answered with a big YES!! So as the time drawn nearer and I make time to go he is 'unavaliable' to go with me. So Christmas morning we wake up at his parents house and he promptly puts on his Christmas pajamas finishing it off with a night cap, it just made me giggle. Here are the extent of our photos from Christmas at Grandparents Swann's house.







Here is Christmas #2 at our house with our gifts for the girls and gifts from my parents. It was so fun to be able to capture her face with these pictures and the excitement...... Well a picture is worth a thousand words, and I understand that better now!










Cold Play!







Each year as I watch Ramsey grow we explore new things together. This winter was the first that she truely enjoyed the snow. We had plenty of fun out in the yard familarizing ourselves with it and then took it to the park for some family sledding. We had a ball!! Bill was so nervous and at first hesitant about going, (He remembers having to do all the trecking and hauling of kids up the hill) but it turned out to be so much fun we forgot about the chore part. Call me nuts, but I just love winter. It has to be my favorite season!

Two peas in a pod



I always knew that I wanted kids, however I never knew how much my kids wanted each other. I am constantly griping at Ramsey 'leave your sister alone'; 'get off your sister'; 'give that back to her'; 'please don't wake her up I just got her to sleep'. All to which she listens and obeys 100 % (ya right), but for all of you who have more than one bundle of joy can appreciate, she truly is more help than I could ever have imagined. The other morning we were lying in bed and I just finished feeding Paisley and put her back to sleep when Ramsey came in and asked where she was. I told her she was asleep and not to wake her. I guess with a two year old every day is opposite day. She promptly got in the bed and hugged her, and squished her, and woke her. I got irritated and asked Ramsey why she has to do that to Paisley when she is asleep and she said 'I just want to squeeze her so tight for how much I love her' and it donned on me that that is how Ramsey shows her love and affection for her sister, all the pestering and if I would just look close enough I would see that huge smile on Paisley' s face and the light in her eyes when Ramsey is near. I thank God every day for my beautiful girls, my wonderful husband and the life we all share.


I was out doing some shopping and saw these giant snowflakes in a store window and upon closer inspection found that they were really easy to make so I did so and added them to my holiday decorating

So over the last few months with the season drawing nearer I decided to find my girls Christmas outfits. I shopped long and hard and found slim pickin's for matching (due to the size difference). So my solution... make it! I borrowed a sewing machine (both of mine were broken), made up a pattern, bought and cut the material and ta-da adorable matching outfits for my girls!

Were finally here!


So Danna came out here and showed me how to do this blog thing, so here we are. I would like to show and welcome our new little family member.....Paisley June Swann. Born August 12th at 2:08 am. She was 7lbs 7oz and 18 inches. She has grown like a weed since we brought her home and now is about 12lbs, a far stretch from Ramsey who was so slow to grow.
