Happy 2nd Birthday, Pickle!

Happy Birthday to our Little Man! We can't believe he's 2 already! We had a small party for him today at our house. Nana, Papa, Uncle Jamie, Uncle Jeremy and Heather all came over to help celebrate Dillon's special day. I made homemade mac & cheese for lunch along with sandwiches, veggies and chips.

Nana making baby girl smile! She kept kissing her and she'd smile. Dillon opening his gifts. Lily helped, too, of course. I think she opened more of them than he did!

Uncle Jamie putting toys together!

Dillon loves his "car cars!" Papa showing Dillon how his new toy works

"Come on, Daddy! Get it out..."

Uncle Jamie got Dillon a real soccer ball so he can teach him how to play.

Big golf club and ball from Nana and Papa

Lily eating her cake and ice cream!

Heather rocking baby girl to sleep...

I'd say she did a good job!

Yesterday, I took Dillon to Best Cuts to get his first real haircut. He didn't like it at all!

It took 2 hairdressers. He was resting his head on her because he wanted someone to hold him.

Very unhappy face...

But a cute haircut!!

Random Photos & Quick Updates

Forgive me...I'm a very busy mom of 3 now, and so the blog posts are getting fewer, shorter and farther in between!

I took this photo right after Lacy had her professional photos taken. Those turned out well, too. Maybe I'll get to post some of those later this week.

Dillon holding Lacy! He's doing much better around her, but we do still need to watch him closely.

Nana and Papa with their babies!

Another pic with Nana and Papa. My parents and brother and I went to a funeral last Sunday for a dear family friend. RIP Sue! That's why Nana and Papa are dressed up! The kids stayed home with Anson.

I was trying to get her smiling in her sleep, but she woke up right as I got the camera out. This photo is cute, too, though.

For the past 2 1/2 days, the kids and I stayed at Nana & Papa's house so Daddy could paint the inside of our house. He did an awesome job, but now he is really sore and tired. A huge thank you to my brother for helping on Thursday night!! We are getting our house ready to put it up for sale again. We are praying it sells this year. We have a To Do List with 20 items on it and we've gotten about 5 of them done. They are big tasks, too, like painting the downstairs, cleaning out the garage, and painting the porch! We are really really trying to make this place look clean, nice and move-in ready, which is the whole reason we bought it :)

Lacy turned 1 month old on Thursday!

Getting kisses from her older brother and sister!

Lacy's First Tub Bath; Lily's Valentine's Day Exchange & More

Last night, Anson gave Lacy her first bubble bath. Her belly button stub fell off a few days ago so we were able to give her a real bath!

All clean and ready to dry off

Ready for a lotion massage and some clean jammies

Lily watching and "helping"

All done and all clean :)

On Tuesday, Lily's dance class exchanged Valentine's Day cards! Lily passing her valentines out to her friends.

She needs her bangs cut! We are going to go to the beauty shop soon. She won't let me cut them :(

Showing me one of her Valentines.

On Tuesday, after dance class, we went to the Hartville Kitchen for a family dinner with Mimi, Uncle Jeremy, Heather and Uncle Larry. The kids started calling Ann "Mimi" instead of "Grammy." Dillon tried to say Grammy and all that came out was Mimi, so it stuck. She likes it so that's her new name :)

Me and my angel

Tummy Time!

Mimi went back home yesterday :( The kids are at my parents' house during the day, so me and baby Lacy are spending some quality time together :) She's been sleeping pretty well at night...hoping it continues. :)

Videos of Lacy

The first two videos are of Lacy in the delivery room right after she was born.

The next 2 videos are of Lacy in the hospital on the day we went home.

At home, 2 videos of Lily holding her sister.

Side by side look at Lacy (L) and Lily (R) at 2 weeks old!
