Baby GIRL #3!

Yes it's true, and the proof is in the pictures. The baby is perfect and healthy and that's all that matters! Now to pick a name...at least I don't need to buy anything!!

Trip to Mexico

We just got back a few days ago from our trip to the Riviera Maya in Mexico, an area just south of Cancun. We all really enjoyed the getaway although family vacations are definitely exhausting. Maya LOVED swimming in the pool and that is really almost all we did while we were there. We spent a little time on the beach, just enough to build a sandcastle, and one afternoon we took a trip into Cancun to take the girls to the aquarium and do some souvenir shopping. Otherwise we just enjoyed relaxing at the resort. We stayed at the Azul Sensatori which I would recommend to people with little kids as well as adults as there is an adults only side to the resort. The pools were really amazing, and although I couldn't partake in the drinking I could certainly appreciate the open bars all hours of the day. The girls did really great on the plane rides, Katelyn just laid her head down and took a nap on both flights without our normal crying/fighting routine to get her to sleep (which is a lovely new phase we're in right now). Anyways we had a really great time.

Here's a link to our online album with some pictures and video from our trip. We did get some cute pics of the girls and you can see some of the fun kids stuff that they had as well - Maya got to be in a puppet show and even danced on stage.

Well next up, Maya's birthday is just around the corner and I'm sure the rest of the summer will fly by. Chris and I both have outings and things going on the next couple weeks, including a business trip I have to take up north for a few days. So her birthday will continue to sneak up on us - I really need to get on the ball. Things with baby #3 are going just fine, everything's still been easy so far and I really hope it stays this way and I don't get big and pregnant this time (hey a girl can dream right?). We find out if we're having another baby girl or a baby boy this THURSDAY and we are very excited so keep an eye out for email/text/facebook updates with our news!

Katelyn Turns 1!

Katelyn's 1st birthday was a huge success a few weeks ago - we had a family birthday party at my aunt's house where all the kids got to swim, and Katelyn had her first experience with birthday cake which was very cute and messy just like it's supposed to be. We are very blessed to live so close to much of our family that many of them could share her birthday with us. And Thank You very much to everyone who sent your well wishes!
Here is her birthday video:
Katelyn loved her blue frosting!

Maya Dance Recital

Maya did such a great job at her first dance recital in May - we're looking forward to many more! Here's a link to the video from her dance. She even got flowers from Uncle Thad after her performance.
