Merry Christmas everyone!

We are very excited to be celebrating our first Christmas as a family of 4. And to top it off, we will be having a white Christmas as it snowed last weekend and most of the snow is still here. Reagan is very excited and keeps singing the first lines of Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman. She has been running around the house like a mad woman. It must be nice to have all that energy. Karlee is growing like a weed, way too fast. We took her to the doctor on Monday for her 2 month check up and to get her first shots. We also took a few pictures, so enjoy! Merry Christmas to everyone!

This is what we woke up to Saturday morning.


Reagan watching Daddy plow the driveway.

She wanted to try on her snow boots, so she finished taking off her pajamas and marched around the house like this.

Reagan was trying to stop me from taking a picture of Karlee.

We went to Mike's mom and dad's Saturday night for her Christmas get together and the Sunday morning the kids wanted to go sledding. Here's Mike with Dylan and Logan on his back.

Baby Sister has arrived! Karlee Ann Shaw arrived Tuesday, October 20 at 10:24 Am. She wieghed in at 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21.75 inches long. I am not complaining too much because labor was pretty quick this go around. Contractions started about 2:15 AM and 8 hours later, we had our beautiful baby girl. Reagan has been doing really well with her. No real jealousy issues yet, but who knows. She wants to hold her, give her her paci, help me put her in her seat, or just give her kisses. We (Mike) called my mom and dad that morning about 5 to let them know we were headed to the hospital. Then he called Ms. Lisa (one of Reagan's teachers) to have her come over and sit with Reagan and then take her to school for us. Mama and Daddy picked Reagan up from school and headed on over to the hospital. She was very excited to meet baby sister and wanted to just look at her at first and then wanted daddy to help her hold the baby. Karlee is a good baby, we are working on getting our days and nights straightened out. She has actually slept in her bed for at least 3 hours the last 2 nights. The first time since we brought her home. The other nights have been spent on our chests in bed with us. So, even though we are tired, we are very happy to finally have out little girl home with us. Enjoy the pictures!

Grandma and Pappy were at the hospital too and had brought Reagan some goodies, so she was chillin' in mommy's bed.

Sleepy baby....had a rough morning.

Random pictures

Here's just a few random pictures for you.

Where do you sit when you watch TV?

One tired baby....

She always wants the bags put on her shoulders....


She likes to sit on this box of books and pick through the cookbooks.....

Her favorite?

We went to the pumpkin patch this morning and she got to pick out pumpkins for daddy, mommy, Reagan, and Baby Sister.

How about this one Daddy?

Like my pumpkin?

Wedding Pictures

The other weekend we went to Somerset for Mike's cousins wedding. Both Mike and Reagan were in the wedding. Needless to say, Reagan took the cuteness factor. She actually walked down the aisle by herself for the wedding but not at rehearsal. So, when it came time for the wedding I walked with her and we got to the end of the aisle and told her to go find Daddy. Well, the matron of honor hadn't made it to the front yet, so Mike hadn't stepped over yet and she couldn't see him. So, she stopped in her tracks and said, "Where's the Daddy" and I told her to keep looking and he finally stepped over where she could see him and down she went. I was so happy. Then I walked to the front and she was wanting mommy so we sat with the parents of the groom and watched the wedding. So, enjoy the pictures!
