Happy One Month Old Birthday, AnaGrace

AnaGrace is 4 weeks old today. She technically does not have a one month birthday because there is no 30th in February, so we are counting today. She is getting so big. This picture was taken in betweend cries. After all, don't we all get a little grumpy when we haven't eaten for a whole 2 hours!!!!!! Actually, she is such a happy and content baby. We are so blessed and thankful for our healthy strong beautiful baby (and children in general). What a good and awesome God we serve!!!!

AnaGrace Elizabeth

This is a picture of one of Ana's first baths. Note my little "helper", of course my other "helper" was out of the picture. I think that it may have been after this bath that I decided that I would go solo on baths....too much help is not very helpful!!!!! This picture was taken of AnaGrace last weekend. I love her in blue, however, most people asked if she was a boy, to which I prompltly said, "Not, look at the flowers and butterfly." Anyway, her eyes are really starting to become even more blue, so maybe they will stay blue. Then we will have brown eyed boy, a blue eyed girl, and a little girl with one of each!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day. We hope you all enjoyed being thankful for those you love. These are our beautiful Valentine's. Rarely do they cooperate this well for a picture... But there is a first for everything. And...AnaGrace's first holiday. She celebrated by eating and sleeping. Sounds like a good holiday to me. Lots of love to everyone.

A Big Weekend

This was our first Sunday in Church as a family with AnaGrace. Although its not the greatest picture...you get the idea.
The kids cousin Rachel came to visit. Jeremiah and DaniRae were very proud to be able to see and hold their cousin and baby sister.

Of course, we needed one more picture of the birthday girl with her pizza supper. She had a great time with her uncles and grandparents.

Birthday Princess

Today was DaniRae's 4th birthday. She enjoyed wearing a crown today that stated that she is the "Birthday Princess." We celebrated a little today, but will celebrate even more on Friday (with one set of grandparents) and on Saturday(with the other set). She is so excited to have a birthday.

Here she is blowing out the candles on her birthday cookie that Grandma H. made for her. She especially enjoyed the icing by licking off the number four immediately after blowing out the candles. Hey, like mother, like daughter....what can I say.

Finally home

Here is AnaGrace sound asleep in her cradle. She is so sweet.
Here is AnaGrace peeking out from over my shoulder. She has slowly begun to be more alert and bright eyed.

Our children

Here is Big Brother Jeremiah holding his new baby sister. He has been so proud of her and simply adores her. AnaGrace is only a few hours old in this picture. He loves to kiss her and hold her even still. Today, he almost fell asleep while holding her. "She is so warm and cozy."
DaniRae is also a proud Big Sister. She was not quite as interested in holding AnaGrace at first, but is beginning to want to hold her more often. She too loves to kiss her and rub cream on AnaGrace's little feet. What beautiful children God has truly blessed us with.

Testing 1, 2, 3.....

Okay, everybody. You all know that we are not real computer literate around here. But I am trying. We are just testing this out to see how it works. Unfortunately, our computer is very slow, so I don' t think we will be able to put up a lot of pictures. This is AnaGrace Elizabeth at the hospital still when she is just a couple days old. Let us know how this works.
