Sister Time

Playing in Annie's bed.

Sweet kisses.

This is how she shared Rabbit, who also goes by Bunny these days.

McKenzie really does love little Annie.  She asks to hold her often and even shares Rabbit for brief moments.  Probably my favorite though is when she gets up in her face, giggles and says, "She's so cutie."

Creek Time!

One of the things I love most about our new house is that we live on a dead end street with a creek at the end.  We walk down to the creek often, mostly to just throw rocks.  But from time to time, McKenzie likes to put on her rain boots and stomp through the water.  So far, Annie is unimpressed.

Picking rocks for Daddy to throw.

Those pants got really wet!

Not interested.

Almost Got It

If I had been a little to her right, I would have caught that smile!  But you get the idea... little Annie is showing us her cute little smile more often these days.

Best Friends

These little princesses really love each other!

Happy Monday

Just wishing everyone a happy Monday!

Napping with Mommy

I recently found this picture on my phone and I'm posting it for two reasons.  First, it has me in it.  Since I'm usually the one taking pictures, there aren't many with me and either of the girls.  And two, it reminds me of happy times.  See that smile on my face? Annie was probably only two weeks old in this picture and I could bet she slept cuddled up next to me for the next two hours after this picture was taken.  Since then, she has come down with a cold that has left a nagging cough.  She might have a bit of reflux. And two hour naps just don't seem to be her thing.

Getting Out

When McKenzie was born, I don't think we left the house for weeks.  I'm not sure what we were afraid of, other than EVERYTHING.  With baby number two, things are a bit different.  I've tried to get out as much as possible with Annie, even if it's just a quick and easy errand or a walk down the street.  On this particular day, we headed down to the creek for McKenzie to throw rocks, a favorite pastime of hers.  She felt like a pretty awesome big sister as she strolled Annie down the street for me.

Headed to the creek.

For the record, pastime is a really weird word.  I had to google it to figure out how to spell it and even now, I'm not convinced it's correct.
