Resemblance

What do you think... do they look alike? 

Snow Days!

Mead turned a week old on Tuesday, and I was supposed to go to class that night.  I am taking a children's literature class, which I am excited about, but leaving that night seemed a bit daunting.  The next day was also supposed to be my first day at home by myself with both girls since Penny had to go to class for most of the day.  But God, in His graciousness, decided to send two snow days!  So we got to stay home and enjoy the beautiful snow and time together as a family.

Penny and Laine had a blast sledding down the hill by our house.

Laine also rode with other kids in Gulf Drive.  Here's a great action shot compliments of the Seilbacks.

And a glimpse of Laine enjoying the snow in more ways than one!

Infatuation

Laine is in the infatuation stage of having a baby sister.  Whenever Mead is awake and accessible Laine is right near by.  She's been pretty good so far about being gentle and sweet.  We'll see how long this peak interest lasts! 

Proud Grandma

Nan has been a huge help this week as we are all adjusting to Mead's arrival.  Thanks for all your help Mom!

 

We're home!

We came home this morning around 11:00, and it's been nice to settle back into our own home.  Here's some more pics of our cute little Mead. 

New Pictures

Kat's mom, Cheryl, brought Laine by this morning.  It was Laine's first time seeing Mead - she is excited to be a big sister. 

 

We found out Mead is 20 inches long, and she passed her hearing test with great success.  We're so glad she's such a healthy baby!

Please Welcome Mead!

At 9:21 Mead Elise Pennylegion was brought into the world. Kat progressed so quickly following the epidural that we're not sure that it really had any effect, none the less, Kat did great!

Mead weighs 8 lbs 2 oz, that's 3 oz less than Laine. We're not sure how long she is yet because she hasn't be brought from the nursery, but she is healthy. Here are a few pics - there will be more to come later.
