Pretty Girl

I just love this dress that Sophie wore to church today. So I had to have a photo shoot. Noah looked pretty handsome too, so when he wakes up from his nap, I'll try and get some pics of him. I think I have such cute kids!

Sweet Sophie

On Monday, August 15, at 9:40 am, we welcomed sweet little Sophie Claire into this world. She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Here are a few pictures of her first few days.

Look at all that hair!


Happy Birthday Sophie!

We are truly enjoying Sophie. She sleeps a lot, which is nice for her tired mom. Unfortunately, it's mostly during the day, but that's ok. We're so excited to have Sophie in our family!

Happy Mother's Day

So this dress was my mother's day present. I love dresses like this. It's not a maternity dress but it totally works. And hopefully it can be worn after the baby comes too! I hope all of you moms out there had a wonderful mother's day!

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Noah had a great time looking for his Easter basket that the Easter bunny hid and finding eggs outside. We had to hide eggs about 4 times because he kept wanting to look for them again. Below are some pictures we took after church. I think Noah sure does look snazzy!

Spring is here!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything on our blog. I'm sorry! We still don't have internet at our house so it makes it difficult to keep everyone up to date. We are excited that spring is finally here! We've enjoyed beautiful weather lately and have had lots of fun playing outside again. Below are some random pictures from the last two months. I hope you enjoy them.

As you can see, Noah is a silly little boy. He brings so much joy to Daniel and I. He is looking forward to the birth of a little sister in August! Yep, we're going to have a baby! Sorry it's taken to long to post this info. We're super excited to welcome a little girl into our family. I'll post a pregnancy pic soon. Until then, enjoy the wonderful weather and the joys of family.

Birthday Boy

Noah's birthday was last Wednesday. He's 2 years old! Here are some pictures from his party on Saturday.

Thanks to Gigi for making the Elmo cookies!

Mitchell Farms Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to a pumpkin patch at Mitchell Farms in Collins, MS. This place was huge! They took us on a hay ride tour of their farm, and we got to see their sunflower fields, pumpkin vines, peanut patch, pond with ducks and geese, and corn maze. The last stop on the ride was the pumpkin patch where you got to pick a pumpkin to take home. They had a giant playground and an animal barn. They also had a snack bar and little store where you could buy peanuts, homemade salsa, jelly, and cute farm toys. It was a really fun place to visit.

Natchez Hot Air Balloon Race

We went to Natchez last weekend to the hot air balloon glow. All of the balloons that were participating in the race were gathered in one place and lit up their balloons at the same time for the balloon glow. It was really fun to watch. Noah loved seeing the balloons.

Here's a picture of the Mississippi River and the bridge from Natchez to Vidalia, which connects Mississippi and Louisiana.

18 Months

Noah turned 18 months old on August 2, and he is as cute as ever. He is running around and talking up a storm. He can even say a few 3 word sentences. He's making his speech therapist mommy proud! Noah is also starting to yell or have a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants, which I don't enjoy. But we're learning how to deal with this together, and I'm sure we'll figure it out. He is still the joy of my life and makes Daniel and I so happy to be his parents. Here are a few pictures we took yesterday in the back yard.

Mississippi Goodness

For those of you who don't know, we have officially moved to Mississippi. And these are the kinds of wonderful vegetables we're eating from my mom's garden! I just love fresh food straight from the garden. It tastes so much better than anything you can buy from the store. So this is what we're enjoying while we're living with my parents. I'll post later about the move and how we're doing here in Mississippi.
