An Easter Bunny and a Christmas Elf!

These photos were taken when Allie and Brady were each just a week old.  There’s no doubt that they’re siblings!

A Quiet Easter Sunday

We had only been home from the hospital for one day, so Easter Sunday was fairly low key.  The Easter Bunny (aka Kevin) hid some eggs outside and Allie went on a little hunt.  We had short visits from family and friends and that was about it.  After being up for most of the night with an infant, I think that was all I could handle!

Welcome Brady!

On April 5, 2012 at 8:31pm we welcomed Braden Patrick to the family!  He weighed 10 pounds even and was 21.75 inches long.  He arrived just in time for Easter as we took him home the Saturday before.  Allie was so excited to meet him and one of the first things she said to him was, “I love you, stinky face”.

The night before…

The night before I went into the hospital to delivery Brady, I ate Snowman ice cream (one scoop of banana and one scoop of brownie) and watched the first half of War Horse with Kevin.  I also looked this this…

Easter Photo Shoot

Can’t waste a pretty dress!  We took Allie to Congress Park in Saratoga at the end of March to get a few photos of her in her Easter dress.  We were lucky to have really mild temperatures and a beautiful day!

Progress at the Playground

Up until early March, Allie refused to go down the slides at the playground.  She would swing and go up and down the stairs, but would never go down a slide.  Not even with someone.  Once she went down the little slide alone, within days she was going down the big twisty slide.  And after the first time she went down the big slide she said, “that’s not so bad”.
