Missy comes to visit!

Last week, Greg was gone to sunny California for an externship. To help me from going insane from being all by myself with two kids all week, I asked my cousin Mythanne to come and stay with us. She was a huge help and all of us had a blast hanging out with her.

We went to Amish country one day and Brinley got to decorate a gingerbread cookie. It was a lot of fun!







We also went to the park one day. Brinley is terrified of swings, so is was miracle Mythanne got her to swing with her for just a minute. I had to get a picture because it has never happened.





Julianne had fun sleeping in her car seat.


On our way to pick up Greg from the airport we stopped at the zoo. It had just stopped raining when we got there and was nice and cool. The animals must love that kind of weather, because they were so active! The lions were all awake and the tigers and leopards were walking all around. Brinley loved it!









Thanks for coming Mythanne, we miss you already!

We're still here

Wow! It has been a busy month for us! I can't believe how adding just one more baby to your life can make everything change and become more complicated. I'm hoping that things will calm down soon.

Our little Julianne is such a sweetheart! We love her so much and honestly can't imagine what we did without her. Brinley is starting to get more use to having a little sister. She loves her a lot and when we're in public she'll go up to strangers and tell them she has a little sister named Julianne and that she is a big sister now. She is so proud!


Julianne's first bath! She loved it.


Since having Julianne, Brinley has really started to exercise her independence. For example she wanted to dress herself the other day, this is what she came out in! It was so funny.
