Look alikes...

Aunt Minde commented on this picture of Savannah that she remembered Skylar snuggled up with the same pink blanket. I went back and found the picture of Skylar and it is crazy how much they look alike. I'm sure the blanket helps, but I think their hairline at least looks the same.
Savannah is the top pic and Sky the bottom pic...
Sweet girls!

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jenny visit

Jenny and Ryan came to visit and it was so great to see our cute little nephew Benjamin. He is adorable and such a sweet little guy. He is really happy most of the time and has a great smile and lots of squeals. It was a nasty rainy weekend so we just hung out in or pjs a lot and played on the floor with the kiddos. Jenny and I only left the house to get homemade pizza ingredients and some Dunkin Donuts. What else do you need on a cold weekend? Benjamin is an early riser like his dad so Ryan and Jenny let us sleep in and fed the girls breakfast. We attempted a couple times to get some cute pictures of the three of them. Savannah was not happy about the picture taking or about Skylar always trying to pat her head. Ben was not used to my paparazzi flash like Skylar and looks caught in the headlights. We wore him out!

Front row seats for dinner. Ben ended up joing us at the table and looked very interested in tasting some pizza.

Taking a snooze on Daddy

Thanks Aunt Jenny for the cute outfits!!

Down he goes... Ben is such a trooper he just rolls with it

I love how Savannah is so over it at this point and how Ben and Sky are looking at each other like they want to start some trouble.

Would you ever think from this picture Ben and Savannah are only 4 1/2 months apart?

Mimi and Sandy visit

Mimi and Sandy came to visit and help out last week. Sandy is a long time friend of Ty's family and we were thrilled she got to come. She watched Ty grow up and Tyler babysat Sandy and Rod's son Drew when he got older.
We have been so blessed with all of the wonderful help we have had since Savannah. While we were in the hospital Mimi and Gigi were at home taking care of Sky and taking turns cooking and freezing meals for us. It has been wonderful to know that Skylar is getting lots of one on one attention and they kept up great with her therapy schedule and really tried to make her life feel as normal as possible.
Mimi and Sandy worked hard all week cleaning, cooking, decorating, wrapping.... I mean I have seriously been spoiled! I barely had to wrap any of our Christmas presents and I never had to cook or do dishes. We are so grateful! We even got to go on a date. As we were walking in to see New Moon I said- we have a two week old and are going to the movies. How awesome is that!? (Btw- loved New Moon and really want to read them now...in my spare time)

Skylar loves to play by the front door. I think most of the time she is hoping Daddy will walk through the door any second. Thanks to Sandy our floor was super clean!

Cute new Christmas PJs from Sandy

Sweet little gingerbread outfit from Mimi

Mimi and Sandy and the girls

So peaceful

Savannah is one week old...

Some attempts at matching Christmas sleeper pictures....it is so much harder to get a picture with two babies!
Skylar is still a tiny thing and she looks like a giant next to Savannah!



Give me that hat....
Savannah is literally the size of Skylar's baby....she is so sweet. Katie gave us this preemie sleeper never actually thinking we would need to use it- and it fit her perfect.


Our friends Misty and Mike and their daughter Mollie were in DC for a visit and were nice enough to head down for the day to visit baby Savannah. Mollie is almost 17 months and is such a cutie. Skylar was very interested in Mollie and everything she was getting in to...and Mollie was very interested in an array of new toys for the day:) It was a great visit!



Gigi and Savannah

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year and a whole lot to be thankful for...two beautiful healthy girls! It is crazy that two weeks have already gone by. It seems really fast and at the same time it seems like Savannah has already been a part of our family forever. Gigi and Grandude were in town for Thanksgiving and cooked us a wonderful meal. It was a beautiful day! Of course we headed to the park which is my favorite thing to do...especially after being stuck in the hospital for a few days. We got our first family photos and Savannah enjoyed the fresh air too and slept through most of it.
We were so sad to see Gigi and Grandude leave!
