New pics, plus house reno post

I'm posting twice this Labor Day weekend - once to put up new pictures of the girls, who are both doing great, and once to put up a slideshow of our house renovation work. We have been living here for a year and a half, and have done an enormous amount to the house to make it more "us" (as well as more safe and livable, of course!) It's been fun for me to look through the photos that we took of the house before we moved in - and it's totally amazing to see what all we have done.

Have a happy Labor Day!

Amy came to visit!!! Anna(belle) and Megan were so glad to see their aunt!
Megan reminds us so much of Anna when she sleeps like this - both of them are fond of this position at this age
Anna at the shower Mimi threw Megan - she was showered with big sister gifts, which included some flashy jewelry :)
This is Anna's favorite face right now - it's her thinking face, her tantrum face, and her face every time Megan cries. She's such a toddler now - too funny

Nudey-tudey girls everywhere

We're still a little cross-eyed, but we're getting more focused every day :)

Our House

One week old!

We have had a wonderful first week with Megan Elise here! The O'Neills spent all of last week with us, which was completely chaotic and totally fun - we enjoyed having them here so much. Anneta (aka Nunny) is now spending the week with us, so we're trying to take as many pictures as possible each day. Here are some of the updated pics:

I love this picture of Mimi and Megan - one of the few where Megan's eyes are open

Anna, Megan and Avelyn, the three girls

Jimmy teaching Will and Audrey to play Wii - this was absolutely hilarious to watch

All 8 of us. Seems impossible that there is one kid to every adult now!

Such sweet sisters

I'm amazed at how good Anna is with Megan - so sweet, gentle and loving

Megan Elise is HERE!!!
