Olivia Meg Tessier

We welcomed Olivia Meg Tessier on Sept. 18th at 7:43AM by way of C Section. She is a perfect little bundle and growing!

Ear Piercing!

Well I made the tough decision to pierce Ilaina's ears on Friday. I actually chickened out the first time and had to leave. An hour later I worked up enough courage to finally go back and get it done. I asked Ilaina's Auntie Denice to hold her and I would hold her arms and try to distract her. After in the seat Auntie couldn't do it either so mommy had to sit back down and hold her little baby. Well after it was all said and done it was no worse then her vaccinations and now she can look as beautiful as her honorary cousin Ella. We were also able to show off her new earrings when we were at a family wedding.

Isaiah took a break from turning the lights on and off, on and off, on and off to cut a rug. It was a good time

Play Ground? Play Park?

On Wednesday we got our swing set all set up and Isaiah just screamed with delight. Mommy Ilaina, Isaiah, Daddy, and Belle all fit on the lower level. We had a great time swinging and Isaiah kept saying "High Again"!

Ilaina doesn't quite like the swing yet but that is just as well for we only ordered one infant swing. We haven't had any playmates come over yet but we are hoping that cousin Lydia will come soon.

Splish splash!

This is the first time there has been a shared bath! They both had a great time. Isaiah was trying to help wash Ilaina's hair and everything he did she thought was hilarious. Her huge front teeth were showing the whole time, which means that she was having a blast.

Isaiah loves to be the comedic relief. Whether mommy's had an emotional day or daddy's frustrated about something he always manages to make us smile. What a blessing these two children have been to us. I have known no greater gift then my children.

Steam Engines Aren't Just For Trains!

August 2nd and 3rd we went to the Roosevelt Steam and Gas show and had a great time looking at all the tractors. And Riding the tractors!

Then we heard a choo choo train... but it was really a tractor. That was confusing for Isaiah and mommy. Oh and Isaiah had his first hotdog on a bun. Not a single piece was dropped. Maybe next summer he can have another one. (yuk)

Is Summer Here?

I went swimming for only the second time all summer and I'm pretty sure I froze to near death. Isaiah had blue lips and and shivered uncontrollably. Was that necessary? I think I may get a bad mom award down the road. Make the memories while you can I say!
