Anna's Baby Dedication

Last Sunday we had Anna's baby dedication at our church. Everyone, including us,

were a little worried that she might scream when Dr. Pourciau held her. But she

surprised all of us and didn't make a peep! She enjoyed looking all around and only made a few

sweet babbles during the prayer. :) Emma was a proud big sister and did a good job too. She

enjoyed waving to all of our family sitting on the 2nd and 3rd row from up stage. We had a huge turn out and had to get a table for 20 (including us) for lunch afterwards! It was a very special day!

Deja vu

While we were out visiting Jason's sister at the end of May,

we took a picture like one we'd taken 3 years ago.

I was even able to find the same outfit for Anna to wear

and it fit!

Emma is 4 1/2 months old. (August 2008)

Anna is 6 months old. (May 2011)

And here is our whole family!

Emma is 3 years old. It is so hard to believe

3 years has passed and she is a big sister!

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.
