Guess Who

Wonder if these two children are related???


IT'S A GIRL!!!

This little girl kept us waiting a full week after her due date to arrive. Luckily when she did make her appearance it was after a very short 4 hour labor. She is such a good baby sleeping and eating constantly. Big brother Caleb loves his sister dearly and is adjusting well to the big life changes.



Misc. Pictures from the past few weeks

Caleb crashed a karate birthday party! Luckily the family didn't mind a little icing missing from their cake and Caleb doing all the party games! So nice to have a family business where everyone is great friends.


Grandma and Papa came over to Greenville for some warm showers and electricity after all of the awful tornadoes in Alabama. It was a fun weekend and Caleb was over the moon to get his first bike!!! We were so sad when their power came back on Monday and they had to leave.

Happy Easter

With the baby's due date around the corner we kept all holiday plans to a minimum. The weekend before Easter we went to a fun Easter egg hunt at some friends house. Tommy and one of his students, Ethan, won the egg toss (with real unboiled eggs!!!) Then Caleb had fun collecting eggs. Last year he got only 3 eggs since he wanted to open them as he found them, I think he's starting to get the idea now though. He wouldn't even look at me for a picture becuase he was so focused on finding eggs.































On Easter Sunday the boys made me pancakes. This has become a weekend tradition. Then Oma (Mrs. Abele) came over for the day and we grilled out. We eventually did a little egg hunt in the front yard with our neighbors since you can't have Easter without eggs and candy!
It was a wonderful day, nice and relaxing. Baby Hood has still kept us guessing on arrival dates and we give up the idea of an Easter baby!

Disney Trip - February

Its true what they say, its such a happy place! Well it is when you go with great friends, have no lines, and your cousin acts as your personal tour guide!!! It was a wonderful family vacation and perfect timing as it will be a few years before we venture back this way with both kids.
We did Sea World, Magic Kingdom, downtown Disney, and Hollywood Studios. It was a very busy few days and I have hundreds of pictures, here are a few of our favorites!
