Annabelle!

Okay this is the last post today…I think there are 4 or 5 before this.

Annabelle made her apperance on Thursday, May 19th at 2:44pm. She was 7lbs 5 oz and 20.25 inches. She is so adorable!

Easter

Okay this got out of order but here is Easter. We colored eggs at home with Adam and did our own Easter egg hunt on Saturday since Leevi had to work. On Sunday Adam and I went down to Leevi’s family and had an egg hunt at the house and at church. The kids got a ton of candy!

Trying to get a picture of Adam and I…

Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day we were down in Eaton with Leevi’s family. His mom wanted to take everyone to the Wild Animal Sanctuary.

Children’s Village

This is long over due…a few months ago we had beautiful weather so we took Adam to the Children’s Village, had a picnic, and let him ride his bike around the park.

Photo Editing

I had fun editing these pictures from Katy's maternity session. Thank you to Molly for teaching me how to do these wonderful things :)

Maternity Pics and New Lighting

I got my new studio lighting and finally tried it out today doing maternity pictures for Katy and Chris. I am so excited to meet Annabelle in mid May :)

Lighting

So I have taken the plunge...I bought some real photography lighting. I was hesitant to spend so much money on something like this but I know that it will help me in the long run. This is what I ended up getting....it won't let me copy the picture so here is the link instead.

Stories & Daycare

Here are a couple of conversations we had with Adam last night…he always makes me laugh

 

I said that I might go to Target and Adam said he wanted to go. I told him to go to Target and he proceeded to tell me that he was not big enough and could not drive.

Yesterday morning when I let him pick out his own socks he was taking them out one by one from the bucket and saying “hmmm” and then when we got to his last pair he said “these ones are my favorite”

Last night we asked him if he wanted tacos or hamburgers and he did the same thing he did with the socks which was so funny.

 

Adam’s first day of his new daycare was yesterday and he did pretty well. I dropped him off and stayed for 30 minutes trying to get him to let me go on his own but that did not happen. Ms. Jodi who is there every morning held him while I left…he was crying   I checked on him around 9:30 and Ms. Teresa said he was doing good but had been clingy to Ms. Jodi. When Leevi and I picked him up last night he still seemed to be acting a little shy but the teacher said he had a good day. She said that Adam was also clingy to his teacher, Ms. Mara. The daily sheets are exactly what I have been wanting to get. They tell us how well he ate at lunch, how well he interacted with the kids, how well he listened to the teacher, and what they learned that day. Ms. Mara said that Adam really liked zoophonics. I think it is going to take some time for him to adjust but once he does he is really going to like it. Today was PJ day so he is wearing his batman pjs and they are doing a week long activity with Dr. Seuss since his birthday is this week. I feel really confident that we are going to like this daycare…it only took 3 tries

Adam

I know I have been really behind lately with blogging especially about Adam. Here are some random pictures of him.

Here is a story as well...

Leevi took Adam swimming yesterday and when they were done Leevi was putting Adam in his car seat. Adam told Leevi that he didn't want to be buckled and Leevi told him why we all have to be buckled up when driving. Adam then said "it could make me dead?" Oh the things that Adam comes up with!
