In her bathing suit and ready to go!

The lake house was rented most of the summer so this weekend was our first time there in 2-1/2 months! We had great weather and I think Kinsley is going to like it there as much as the rest of us do! She took her first (and second) boat ride and had her first bonfire! She even wore her first bathing suit!

Bedtime Stories for the Kids

Since we weren't able to take a family vacation this year we decided to take Ella to Great Wolf Lodge for a night. However, we had so much fun the first day that we decided to stay another night! It was a great family weekend!

6 weeks old!

It is very hard to believe that Kinsley is already 6 weeks old!

One Month Old!

She fell over during my "photo shoot" but we think she looks like she is pondering something important.

Ella wanted to have her picture taken with Kinsley too!

It is hard to believe that Kinsley is 1 month old already. It has been a busy, challenging, and wonderful first month! Kinsley is growing like a weed and starting to smile and "coo." Ella is a great big sister and loves "showing off" Kinsley to everyone!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Yesterday was Tony's birthday. We weren't able to do much since we have a 1 week old baby at home, but Ella was very adamant that daddy needed a birthday cake!

Happy Baby Girl

Kinsley finally made her way into this world on Tuesday, July 14th at 3:26pm. She weighed 7lb 8oz and was 20 3/4" long. We are all at home now and adjusting to having a newborn. Ella absolutely loves her baby sister and sits and holds her all the time.

Ella's Last Hurrah!!!

Knowing that Ella's days as an only child were numbered, we filled the weekend up with lots of fun things. Ella had a couple play dates and lots of family time! Saturday night we headed to Stony Point for dinner, Build A Bear, playing in the fountain, shopping, and ice cream! Today Ella really wanted to go to the pool, but the weather did not cooperate so she settled for Chuck E. Cheese for lunch and games with mommy! We know that she is going to be a wonderful big sister, but we also know that her whole world is about to change!!!
