Hubby and I were able to spend a couple days with our grand babies!
It was wonderful meeting Ali for the first time and being with Emily!
Big Sis Emily got to meet Little Sis Ali in the hospital!
Emily is 21 months old!
So the girls are close in age!
She was amazed by her little sister!
It was an exciting Christmas because baby Ali
was almost born 3 weeks early-
yikes!
But then labor calmed down and she ended up arriving only one week early!
Whew!
We just can't get enough of our two baby girls!
The pics are not in any order but
there are
A LOT
of them!
New life is so amazing!
It is a miracle!
We are obviously CRAZY about our grand daughters!
We went on a little outing to the mall
and Papa took Emily for a train ride!
The rest of us got a Starbucks!
We all needed to get out of the house for a little while.
We attempted to go out for lunch...
but silly us!
We forgot we had a 21 month old and
it was just about her nap time
and a new baby!
We took our lunch "to go", instead!
It worked out perfectly!
Raise your hands if you love being a little sister!
It looks like Ali, likes being a little sis!
Yes...
I am in HEAVEN!
This little one is a very peaceful baby (so far)!
And now I am in double HEAVEN!
Emily is quite the personality!
She loved chasing us around the house with the swiffer!
She is active, fearless and loves to have fun!
She is very smart and very coordinated! She likes to climb and run!
Piggy back rides from her Daddy are her favorite thing to do!
She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like!
Playing ball with Papa was on the like list!
Ali's heading home from the hospital outfit!
I say the pants go over the onesie,
Katie says under they go under the onesie -
what do you think?
Emily loves to play Mommy with her dolly
and cook in her kitchen!
She likes her new puzzle and her lamby!
She also knows where the halloween candy is hidden...
and she likes it... a lot, too!
Nana and Papa had to make the candy go bye bye...
(she didn't see us do it...whew!)
We want to be on the liked list!
We think her feet are a bit bigger then Em's.
Papa was a little nervous to hold the baby!
He did a good job!
Until she started to cry!
That's okay Papa, it's time for her to eat!
We are going to need to watch this one
when the baby is in the rocker!
She likes to help push it!
Really really high!
Her Daddy's apple pancakes are on her like list, too!
Emily does not like being cooped up in the house all day long.
She does not like it when she can't have the halloween candy!
And she prefers Disney to CNN!
Katie took some really nice professional photos of the girls!
Don't be fooled!
It took four of us to pull it off!
I had Ali, Papa had Em and Andrew had the chocolate chips f
or bribing a certain someone into this event!
(Safety for everyone was number one!)
I'll post the good pics after Momma Kate gives me permission
and after she posts them!
A family of four!
It's very tiring being a new Dad!
Being a new Mom...
is exhausting!
At the end of our stay we had more
awake time from baby Ali!
She studied our faces and listened to our voices!
