More Baby Pictures


Just a bunch of random photos without a connected them that we wanted to share.  In the past five weeks since Cooper's arrival we have been busy, busy, busy.  It's amazing how the toddler in the family just keeps us on the go. 
Mike took a week off of work after all the Grandparents left to spend time with his little family.  We went to the Grand Canyon, hiked the West Fork in Oak Creek, played outside, went to the library and overall had an amazing time together.

Bubble Time

Margaret's 3rd Birthday

We CANNOT believe that Margaret is 3 years old, and that she has a baby brother.  We did a pretend party while Nani and Gappy we in town and then celebrated on the actually day with Gram and Pops.  Margaret and I also made yummy cupcakes to bring to Monica's to share with her preschool friends.

Don't worry, Margaret was in present overload from 2 sets of grandparents, her friends and "big sister" presents.  It was like she hit the lottery.  Luckily she received math games, Lalaloopsy, books, dress up costumes and all around great presents.  We did get an overload of plastic.  I think the aunties hit the jackpot in ideas by sending tutus (from Aunt Ali) and a cash register + shopping chart (from Aunt Sarah).  Margaret spends a ton of time in her tutu pushing her shopping cart around.

It's been a while....there's a new baby!

 These are the first set of pictures, so many more to come.  We took a few family shots before the arrival of baby.  Margaret was excited before Cooper's arrival, but beyond thrilled when he showed up.  Nani arrived just before Cooper and was able to help us with Margaret while mommy and daddy were at the hospital.  Gappy arrived followed closely by Gram and Pops.  We are lucky to have so many wonderful family members coming to help us out.  Now we just can't wait until they come back. 
Here we are just 10 days before baby Cooper arrived.  Margaret is wearing her big sister t-shirt.

This is a big developmental step, drawing bubble people.  Notice Daddy's glasses.
