Tribute to Potty Training

We are just about to pass another milestone. I must say I have laughed, cried, washed far too many loads of smelly panties, and bought way too many gummy bears. However, everytime she goes #2 I say a little prayer of thanksgiving that I didn't have to change that one. Hooray.

That's right Ruthie Baby, you did it!!!

December and January Re-Cap

Back By Demand- The Nelson Family

Decmber and January came and went. The girls are growing so quickly and mom and dad are loving it. December brought snow. Ruthie and Eric loved every minute, they were out playing and sledding a few days a week. I was bundled inside with my Sadie. Chirstmas was incredible. Santa knew just what to bring. It was one of my favorite, just the four of us snuggled at home. January was great. It came quick with lots more snow. Have fun, pictures don't get much cuter than these.

Ruthie's first Snowman...assisted by dad.
I was finding hidden ornaments all over the house the whole month of December.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree.

Our Christmas Eve buffet...what a feast.

This was Ruthie's face after a knock on the door on Christmas Eve...she was expecting someone.

Our baby Jesus.

What can I say???

Our shepard. (She ran from room to room yelling, "I'm running to the baby Jesus!")

The Christmas jammies mama, I mean Santa made.

Once again...what can I say???

The Last 3 Months!

Wow, time has gone by so fast and Ruthie and Sadie are growing up. Hope you enjoy the recap!

From a day out with Daddy:

Fun at home.

Going Home!

After two days in the hospital we were all excited about heading home.

Comfortable and cozy at home!

Finally Here

What a day. Sadie finally made it here. I was scheduled to be induced at 7 am and ended up going into labor at 3am that morning. After watching Peter Pan, taking a hot bath and a few other last minute preps and contractions 2-3 min. apart we headed to the hospital. After an epidural, a nap, four hours, and pushing, she finally came. There is nothing more amazing then when they place that little girl up on your lap. I love being a mamma.
2 minutes old

Very happy daddy!
We thought Sadie looked Samoin for the longest time. Her sister Ruth looked Albino. You could see her veins through who skin she was so white. Sadie was nice red and chubby!
The first diaper changed...performed by Eric, honestly I didn't change one diaper the whole time we were in the hospital, and I don't change too many at home. What a sweetheart.

The Best Baby Shower

Many Many Thanks to Chris Bartlett. She was such a doll and put together this wonderful shower. We had such a great time. The gifts were all more than I expected and I was thrilled with the outfits. Dressing Sadie has become such a treat!

We also played the funniest, most entertaining baby shower game I had ever played. Normally I don't find myself laughing this hard at a baby shower. Each diaper was filled with a different type of candy bar and you had to determine what type. This was so funny because I had changed so many diapers that resembled these candies. It was such a hit!

And here is the angel that put this all together. Thank you so much. I really loved it.

Hope You Enjoy! This one is especially for mom and dad.
