Still trying to catch up...

I am still trying to get this blog caught up to speed!

Well after Parker was born I was blessed to be able to stay home for 7 weeks. I enjoyed every minute of it. I am not a stay at home mother type but when you have a newborn its well worth it. We spent most of our time laying around the house in our PJ's and catching up on sleep that we had missed the night before...LOL. Parker was a night owl for about the first 6 weeks. Eating was more important to him at that time.


When Parker was 2 1/2 weeks old; I became an Aunt! Carter decided he was ready to come into this world on Oct. 30th and was 7lbs 14oz. He was a little guy compared to Parker. I have to say it has been so much fun being an aunt and getting to see one of my sister go through motherhood. It's even more fun that we get to go through it together. We call each other at least once a day to see how the boys are doing and whats going on with them. I can't wait for them to grow up together!

Here are the boys at the hospital on Halloween day.

Let me just tell you that my dad (Gampa) was on cloud nine after having 2 little boys in the same room. He is already talking about baseball and teaching them to be lefty's. Meemaw has a pretty big smile on her face too but I know she was exhausted from running between me and Elise those 1st few weeks during recovery. *Did I mention that we both had to have emergency C-sections* Crazy! Both of us went into the hospital thinking natural labor thoughts and coming home with scares. But we both had fast recoverys which was a blessing.

Here is a pic of Meemaw, Gampa, and Carter.

So far we have only had 1 holiday with both babies around which was Thanksgiving. We had a blast passing around the boys and taking pictures. I can't wait till this time next year when they will be playing on the floor together!

Here is a picture of me with both of the boys at Nanny's house.

After Thanksgiving we decided to get all the kids pictures made for Christmas. I knew taking 3 kids to get 1 picture was going to be a chore but I don't think we realized what we had signed ourselves up for...LOL. Needless to say we were at the portrait studio for over 3 hours. It was one thing after another if you know what I mean. Thank goodness the pictures turned out great...here are a few of my favs!

more pics to come...
