The Cutest Little Girl EVER!

We have really enjoyed watching Elle grow and get her personality. Although we aren't quite sure what these pictures say about her. One thing we know is that she is getting to be a good sleeper and that means good sleep for dad and especially mom. What we don't know if this sleeping posisiton means that she will be religious, a gymnist, or maybe a world class bench presser! At least she is cute as can be! She loves her playmat but I think her favorite toy is her dress! She can't seem to keep it down (hopefully that changes!) but thank goodness for onezies! This is the cutest video you'll ever see. Elle suddenly loves to talk and talk and talk. More of squeals and coos, but we love it. I think if she were like this all day long we could be entertained forever! And obviously she loves her play mat. She loves to play with the toys and see how many she can get into her mouth! Having a cute little girl is sure fun! video

Winter or Spring?

So an interesting thing happened when we woke up this morning. We heard a loud crash outside and found this tree branch had landed on our car. It had also knocked down a power line of our neighbors so we couldn't remove anything until the power company came to clear it up. All because of the heavy snow storm we had. So since there was a lot of great packing snow and a bunch of branches we decided to make people! The moral of this story is instead of life giving us lemons to make lemonade, when life gives us a big branch from a snow storm make snowpeople!

Our sweet new ride!

This is the new scooter we got and Mike loves it! Now I don't have to pick him up from work and school anymore.
Elle likes it too.

This is bath-time Elle! She loves the warm water and is such a good girl. Despite the fuzzy picture she is DARLING! It was such a beautiful day today so we decided to have a picnic at the park and we took pictures and fed the ducks. It was a good St. Patrick's Day.

Our Beautiful Baby Girl!

What an amazing experience! I don't know that I have ever felt such a rush of joy as when Elle was born. She is a beautiful, happy, healthy, baby girl! She has been very good in her short life and we are so glad to have her in our family. She was born February 8, 2009 at 11:11 pm. She weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 21 inches long! From the picture with the doctor holding her up (right after the delivery) it almost looks like she is a one month old! We love her so much! Marianne is doing well. She is tired, of course, and resting. She went all natural and delivered in just under an hour after we arrived at the hospital. She was a great sport and has said that the recovery is worse than the delivery?! She is doing well though and is the best mom in the world. So here are a few pictures of the darling baby (we don't have too many beside the crying ones at the hospital, but we'll have a baby dress up and fashion show when we get home and post those!)
