Alice is Five Weeks Old!

After having a cranky morning that seemed to be turning into a no nap cranky afternoon, I decided that we would have a bit of a photo shoot.  None of the pictures turned out really well, but we had fun anyway.

Alice goes to church

Alice and I finally went to church - yay!  Alice looked beautiful in her new dress from her Auntie Suzanne.

Matchy Matchy and other Adventures!

Today was the third time I had all of us girls in matching/coordinating outfits.  The first time was when the girls' Nana and Papa came to visit.  We were coordinated sort of...

I was wearing a black shirt and grey pants, Kate a grey shirt with purple writing and black pants, and Alice was wearing a purple shirt and grey pants.  The purples weren't the same... and you can't really tell in the picture that Alice's shirt is purple at all...

The second time we were coordinated was on St. Patrick's day.  Kate was wearing her navy shirt with a green frog, Alice was wearing a sleeper with green frogs all over it and I was wearing a green shirt.  Sadly I didn't get around to taking a picture before Kate poured something all over herself and required changing.

For today's matchy-matchy experience we looked totally cute - all in red.  HOWEVER a group shot never happened because of Kate's adventures in napping.  She didn't nap today and fell asleep in her dinner - or at least in her high chair.  She basically slept right through until morning.  Ken and I watched some tv together - it was awesome!

I had Ken take a photo of me and Alice later. 

Backyard Fun

Kate has a Mom who loves to buy her toys.  Thankfully Kate's Dad doesn't say no, and even better, he puts the toys together - YAY!  Kate loves her little cottage!

Alice is One Month Old

Alice and Grandma

As referenced in the last post documenting is good.  This wasn't the first time that my Mom met Alice but it was the first time I actually remembered to take a picture.  Someday soon Alice will meet her Grandpa.

Meeting Family

 Documenting is fun, good even.  So when Ken's parents came by for a short visit to meet Alice and say hello I made sure to take pictures right away. Chris and a friend of her's made a beautiful quilt for Alice which Kate promptly took as her own.  We had a lovely little visit and Alice had a lovely cuddle with her Nana.

Alice is Three Weeks Old

In honour of Alice being three weeks old I finally got around to snapping a picture of her with her Dad!

Alice being three weeks old also marks the debut of me being Mom to TWO for real.  What does that mean you ask?  Before today I hadn't had  both the girls all by myself (except for an hour the other day).  Ken has been here, or Kate has been at Antoinette's.  After three weeks of healing (and a pep talk from my sister) I'm feeling ready for the challenge.  And today, today was a great day.  We only had minor freak out time at lunch - and that was the girls, not me.  I napped as did Kate and Alice, I got some dishes done and I finished getting the birth announcements ready for the mail.  YAY!  I'm not deluded enough to think that every day will be like today, but for a first day I was happy.  I love my girlies!    (Oh and I love Ken too!)
