Where have we been?

I have been trying to post pictures for the past week. But, whenever I would sit down to do it Ellie would need water or Baby Megs would need to be fed. What busy life with two girls!

Ellie has been having more problems with her breathing. She started wheezing again on Sunday so we were using the inhaler all day. The albuterol is great at getting rid of the wheezing but it keeps her up all night! She was up until 11:30 last night and it is now 10:30 and she is still going strong! Chris and I are both sick so I am not sure how we are going to swing this...but we always manage to make it through.

Here are some cute pictures from the past week or so. Our girls are so darn cute!

 

 

Baby Megs on Mommy and Daddy's bed, it is one of her favorite places!

More Baby Megs relaxing on the bed, she is so sweet to cuddle with!

Ellie and Daddy cuddling on the couch. We do a lot of cuddling around here!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ellie's class had a big Valentine's Day party at school. Megs and I went to celebrate with her.

 

Ellie dancing...

And dancing more...

Megs getting some attention from the other kiddos, she loves it!

Cuddling in Bed

Ellie and Megs cuddling in bed. Ellie was showing Megs her bunny.

Ellie is a fantastic big sister!

Ellie also loves her bunny!

Picture Update!

 

Here are some pictures of our little family over the last week. Our girls are so cute!

Off to the Zoo!

The weather hit a balmy 54 degrees today so we headed to the zoo. Ellie had been asking to go for a while but they don't put the animals out when it is colder than 45 degrees. So, off we went today!

Ellie and the Flamingos.

The Rhino! All of the animals were really active when we were there. It must have been feeding time.

Ellie hugging the "Giraffasauraus."

*All Giraffasauraus inquiries need to be directed to Chris.

 

Ellie as a "Canda Bear."

 

We rode the train for the first time. Ellie loved it!

 

Baby Megs didn't think the zoo was very interesting. She slept the entire time!

More Baby Megs!

   Just some cute Baby Megs pictures!

Ellie Bean

Ellie is still not to crazy about having her picture taken. But, here she is...

Here is Ellie getting ready to go to school, she likes my old hat (and is super-cute in it!).

In a few unsupervised moments this morning Ellie decided to paint her toenails and fingernails.

She also got her hands and arms involved in the painting process!

Her shirt was also an innocent bystander that got involved...

A Walkin' We Will Go...

  Megs and I decided to go for a walk last week. It was kind of cold outside so I had to figure out how to keep her warm.

Here she is all bundled up (well...bundled up for Atlanta)

Then I decided to put her in the Bjorn and zip her inside my jacket.

I felt pregnant again...and got quite a few funny looks!

We've Got Smiles!

Megs has really started smiling a lot.

 

She likes to smile at the ceiling fans more than anything, though!

 

Sweet Sisters

The girls are both doing well. Megs is starting to sleep more at night. Both girls are asleep right now...woohoo!

I am still trying to get a good picture for a New Year's Card. Here are some of the rejects (but they are still funny...and really cute!)

Chris is going out of town Monday for three days. I am kind of nervous about being alone with the two girls...but I guess it will be time for me to rise to the occasion! Isn't that what moms do?

Ellie is really sweet and caring with Megs.

Ellie is saying, "It's OK, baby, Mama's here" and patting her chest.

But, then her patience runs out and she starts crying right along with Megs!

Just Being Home

We got home from Missouri safe and sound. We have all been trying to recuperate. Chris got sick the minute we walked in the door (well..not the minute, 60 minutes after we walked in).

Here are Ellie and Megs chilling with each other.

 

Megs is still staying up really late. Here she is wide-eyed at 2am!

(Sorry the picture is kind of fuzzy, I was holding her with one hand trying to take the picture with the other)
