Ballerina Emma

Last week Emma attended dance camp at Shreveport Dance Academy.

They did both tap and ballet. She LOVED getting the shoes and outfit to wear!

On the last day they performed a mini-recital to show the parents and grandparents what they'd learned. It was great! Emma was so focused and serious about her dance moves!

Summer is here!

I apologize to all of my blog followers for being so behind.

I'll give a brief update of what's been going on since my last post 5 months ago!

What can I say, being a mom of two is busy!

Emma turned 3 in April and had a ballerina birthday party, complete with tutus and twirling!

We took our first trip as a family to the beach in May. Emma loved it!

Anna turned 6 months old. She weighs 17 lbs now, can sit up by herself, and is trying baby food.

Although life with two is busy, I can't imagine it any different. We love both of our girls so much and they brighten each day with their beautiful smiles!

I'll try to post more often! Here are few pics from the past 5 months.

Anna 7 weeks old

The past week Anna has started showing us her beautiful smile! We love our baby girl!

Merry Christmas!

Too Sweet!

Emma is such a great big sister!

She loves helping out by bringing us diapers to change Anna and putting the dirty ones in the diaper pail!

She has been so sweet to Anna and loves to give her hugs and kisses.

So far she has shown no signs of jealousy and only seems to be bothered when Anna cries:
"It's loud!" she says! :)

Welcome Anna Kate Nichols!

I realize I'm a few weeks late with this! But I was having trouble getting pictures uploaded.

Welcome Emma's baby sister: Anna Kate Nichols!

Our Girls

Our Christmas gift this year!

We had the wonderful opportunity to have Catherine Gikas take pictures of our beautiful girls.

Check out the link above to see a sneak peek of some of the great shots she got!

Amazing!

Pumpkin Patch

Emma had lots of fun at the pumpkin patch.

It was a perfect evening for it; nice weather and not too crowded.

We picked a nice big one to carve, a little one for decorations, and a turbin.

Pig tails and sunglasses

Emma loves to wear her hair in pig tails,

and actually it keeps the hair out of her face better

than any other hairstyle we've tried.

She also loves to wear glasses!

Sunglasses, reading glasses, and daddy's safety glasses!

I can see a dress up trunk in the near future!

Poor daddy... no boy toys, just princesses, tea parties, and dress up!
