First Day of School

Izzy had her first day of preschool this week and of course that meant lots of pictures and a few tears for Mommy.

Thank you and Week 2 Catch-up photos

We had a changing of the guards last weekend. We said good-bye to Granny Ashe who had been here since Charlie was born and welcomed Grandma and Grandpa Wood. We appreciate all of the grandparent help and support and look forward to the arrival of Happy Ashe this weekend to meet our new little one. Between a little boy who likes to sleep no more than 2-2 1/2 hours and an active toddler I am not sure how we would be doing it without help.  Charlie is growing well and has made it to 10 lbs and 22.5 inches already. The doctor was thrilled with his weight gain and said we no longer need to wake him to eat...Now we are just hoping someone shares that information with him. :) Here are some pictures since our last post. Sorry to be so slow about it.

Catch-up Pictures

We have had a lot of fun and activity lately. Scott took Izzy to the zoo for Halloween and we have had lots of visitors to meet Charlie and make his sister feel special. We are sorry we are slow to post. We also had Charlie's first bath and pumpkin carving and somewhere in there Charlie hit the one week mark. Enjoy!

We have had a big day around here. Please see today's gallery which hopefully starts with a last shot of the pregnant lady and ends with all of us together (minus the dog) We are all doing well. Charlie was born today at 11:32 am weighing 8 lbs. 5 oz and 21.25 inches in length.

Hanging out getting ready

Izzy and I have been enjoying hanging out together. I am savoring my last few moments with one child. We have a good time even though right now it involves hanging out calmly. We were playing the camera on the computer. Sorry for the funny flash lighting.

Songs for my kids

So with each child we have chosen to find out the gender. Interestingly each time before the fateful 20 week sonogram there has been a song I found myself playing a lot. Both in hindsight proved correct.  For Izzy it was Carrie Underwood's "All American Girl" and this time is was Brad Paisley's "Anything Like Me."

Meet Izzy

This is our daughter Izzy. You can read all about her adventures so far at her blog see the side bar. We have a penguin thing so we measure our children against a stuffed penguin. Here is Izzy next to the penguin at one month.
