I have the same pictures of Addie wearing this onesie and Dion giving her kisses, so I tried to recreate it.

Disney

Just another trip to Disneyland!

1 month old and pretty in pink!

Here is Jessica at one month old.

Jessica's first Disney trip and with the Walkers!

The Walker's were in town visiting and were going to Disneyland. Jessica hadn't been yet, so I figured she better go before she got too old! ;) It was a fun!! And thanks to Katie and Bryan for helping out with Addie! We can't wait to go with you guys again.






Oh yeah, and yes, Jessica was actually there.

Weeeeee - water slide!

We went over to the Raudaskoski's and Addie got to go swimming and down the water slide. She really enjoyed it!

Whoa belly!

It's just got to be the angle, right??? Look at how round, and big, her belly is!


And one of tummy time

Sisters

Addie loves to hold Jessica and take pictures with her. This is one of my favorites right now.

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July. Grammy Deal was still in town and Mel's parents were her for the day. We started out with breakfast at our favorite spot, The Beach House. Mel's parents left after breakfast and we spent the rest of the day at home with Grammy. When it got dark we headed to the 4 Season's for some fireworks. Addie loved them!! And it was so close and easy. Happy 4th!

Baby Jessica

Finally getting some time to update the blog with news of our new baby girl - Jessica!!

Quick story ... we were planning on getting induced at 7:00 am on Wednesday, June 30th. We got a call at 5:00am that the hospital was too crowded and there wasn't a bed available and they would call us back at 9:00am. We called at 9:00 and nothing yet, so since our parents were here, we decided to all go out to breakfast. Finally at 11:30 they called and said we could come on down! We got there and checked in by 1:00 and they started pitocin at 1:30. Labor wasn't progressing fast enough, so they upped the pitocin. I started getting some painful contractions around 3:30 and decided to get the epidural at 4:00. We killed time by watching my favorite movies - the Back to the Future trilogy. We only got through one and two, but while watching two, everyone that came in stopped to watch the movie. Even our doctor sat down to do some paperwork and ended up watching 15 minutes of the movie with us, before a nurse came in and said she needed him. Around 6:00 baby was ready to come out! After a few pushes they go the doc and she was born a few minutes later. She was perfect!! And looked A LOT like Addie when she was born. It was a wonderful, amazing experience and we feel very lucky that every thing went as smoothly as it did.

It was so great to have our parents there too! And Addison was able to hang out in the room before she was born (left during delivery) and she returned almost immediately after she was born. She took to Jessica right away and kept looking at her and kissing her and wanting to hold her. It was so sweet! I can't believe we now have two beautiful daughters.
