Professional Pictures of Our Girls

I took the girls yesterday to get Kate's 2 Year Pictures and Megan's 3 Months. They came out beautiful, better than I ever expected.
In the picture above Kate was saying, "Nice to meet you, Megan."
Our Gerber Baby









Our photographer was wonderful and both girls were really very cooperative which produced plenty of good options. I had a really, really hard time narrowing down what to buy, and it is really, really hard narrowing down 175 pictures, making decisions on poses, and choosing quantities with two adorable little girls to take care of. I realized twenty minutes into the decision making the real "problem" was having so many great pictures of our little angels, and it is a great "problem" to have.

Megan at 3 Months




Megan is a little past three months and absolutely thriving! What is there to say about Megan but that she is a GREAT baby. She is super smiley, super cuddly, never fussy, and a great sleeper. She is spoiling us for sure. I'm glad she's my second baby because it make it easier to take care of two, any child after her would have seemed like a terror, and she would have falsely had us thinking we were the most competent parents on the planet. She is sooooo content and sooo sweet, we absolutely love her, especially Kate. Kate adorably refers to her as her little baby sister and deems her sooo cute. Megan recognizes Kate and loves it when she plays with her. Megan has started consistently sleeping through the night. We sometimes have to wake her in the morning to feed and get the day started. It is awesome for Brian and I. Megan very good at holding up her head steady, and practically rolling over. She loves sitting upright and has really taken to her Bumpo Seat. With the warmer weather we have been going on lots of walks and like her older sister Meg loves the Snugli. She gets so excited as we put her in it and coos and laughs. We are really getting settled in and Megan is settling in with us!

Megan Lynne Baptized in Christ Part II



Megan's Baptism weekend was just so much fun. Not only did we get to celebrate Meg's special day we also had a great visit with family. Cheryl, Dan, Michaela, and Alec stayed with us. Linda, Wa, Brian's cousin Eric, and aunt Kathy stayed with my Mom and Dad. We had a weekend of walks, parks, coloring Easter eggs, food, more food, and fun visiting. It was a weekend you just want to bottle for later. Luckily, we have a lot of pictures to remember it by and I have organized some of them below. I took over 100 and Cheryl took like 300, hers are especially good and many are in our slide show of pics from the weekend. We still smile thinking about it. It was just wonderful to have both our families together.CLICK HERE for the rest of Megan's Baptism Weekend Pics!

Megan Lynne Baptized in Christ


On Palm Sunday we were able to celebrate Megan's Baptism. It was a fantastic day and fantastic weekend as we were able to share it with both our families! Brian's family made it from New York, met Megan, saw our set up in Grayslake, and honored the special day with us. We were also blessed to have Brian's sister Cheryl, and brother-in-law Dan serve as God Parents. There were so many great memories and pictures from the weekend, I didn't know where to start. I'll start with the most important part, the actual Baptism, and follow up in the next few days with other great memories. It was a day and weekend we will never forget!

As you can see we had quite the fun filled day and we had a fun filled past weekend with Megan's Baptism, which I will blog about later this week. It was magical. We are still recovering from all the wonderful action and today was simply a wonderful, enjoyable day for our family. I can't tell you how special it is to have both our beautiful girls in our life. In our unbiased opinion, Kate is the cutest 2 year old ever and Megan is the sweetest baby! We couldn't be more blessed.
