gymnastics and 4th of July

Mya was excited to start gymnastics this spring.  I put her in an 8 week class to see how she would like it.  Like her big sister, she loved it!  We seem to be a gymnastics household!  Mya and Addison share a love for gymnastics...but also share a habit of socializing a little too much during class sometimes. :) Mya was very excited that our neighbor Dani was in her class.   Addison was the photographer during Mya's class, so excuse the quality of the photos! Our neighbor Dani Last class before summer! Unfortunately I rarely ever remember to take pictures of Addison during gymnastics.  The last class before summer, I managed to remember my camera! While the girls were gone, we went to the Melting Pot for our anniversary.  We just love the Melting Pot!! Over the July 4th week, I wanted to make a little bit healthier dessert, so I tried frozen yogurt.  This was SOOO Yummy!!  Not perfectly he...

Lucy - 1 month (and a few days)

Its 10:40 - the time of night I KNOW I should be in the bed, but I will have to get up in about half an hour to feed Lucy.  I either need to get in the bed at nine or its just not worth it. This week with VBS, its is 9 before we even get home!  My girls are sleeping in in the mornings though, so at least that is nice.   Moving on - Lucy is 5 weeks old!  Crazy!  How true are the words: "The days are long, but the years fly by!"  I really enjoy the newborn stage - I love the snuggling and helplessness of little ones.  I do not however, enjoy the lack of sleep.  At all.  Especially on top of recovering from surgery. Addison dropped her middle of the night feeding at 7 weeks and I am hoping Lucy follows her big sister!  I love looking at those sweet blue eyes, but not at 3 AM anymore. Here is what Lucy is up to... - I have no idea how much she weighs.  People ALWAYS ask me how much she weighs.  I am just curious ...

Lucy: Week Two

A few more pictures from the past few weeks... Headed to the airport to pick up Nana and Papa T. Opening their "Big Sister" bags My parents came a few days before Lucy was born and they helped us unpack!  They stayed a week after she was born then took Addison and Mya back to Georgia.  I was sad to see the girls go, knowing they would be gone for three weeks, but I knew that the quiet and rest would be good for Chad, Lucy and me.   Hanging out! The girls having fun in Georgia with their cousins.  I can sleep anywhere! First time at church

Lucy's First Days

When I last left you on the blog, it was the night before going to the hospital to meet Lucy.  Well, so much has happened since then!!  Thanks to everyone for the kind words and prayers for us that morning!  The Lord calmed my nerves and we were feeling good as we prepared to go in very early that Monday morning.  Last moments being pregnant! Checked in and ready to go! My anxiety did increase a little the closer we got to the surgery...the nurse who couldn't get my IV started wasn't helping either.  I still have bruises 3 weeks later!  I had my iPod loaded with encouraging songs and listened as we waited to go back to the OR. When the anesthesiologist came in to check on me, he said I could take my iPod to the OR with me!  Probably not a big deal, but in that moment, it was a comfort for me.  Looking back now, it seems silly that I was more concerned about the c-section than about Lucy considering she was going to be 3 weeks ea...
