Annabelle one month

We were about a week late in taking Annabelle's one month photos. we put her in the same outfit that we used for Brooke. We also used the same horse so you can get an idea of their size as they grow. We compared Brooke's one month pictures to Annabelle's one month and they don't seem to look very similar. It will be fun to see how similar they look as Annabelle grows and changes.

Around the house

Here are a few pictures of annabelle, Keith, and Brooke at our house. Annabelle loves to sleep on her boppy and apparently so does Keith. Brooke loves to play outside. We spend a lot of time on the porch.

Josh's Graduation

We were excited to celebrate Josh's graduation from Medical School in Phoenix on June 1st. Keith and Brooke flew to Phoenix for the graduation ceremony. Mark, Shevawn and the girls flew to Phoenix and everyone stayed at my mom's house. Annabelle and I stayed home for this trip. We missed seeing everyone but it was good for us to stay back and rest. Everyone had a great time in Phoenix. The girls loved playing together and swimming. Stephanie's aunt held a party for Josh on Friday after the ceremony. She had a big pool and catered Mexican food. On Saturday everyone went over to Josh and Steph's apartment. Keith's parents were staying at their place for the weekend. Josh and his brother's went out with some of his medical school friends on Saturday night to one of their favorite local places. I was so excited to have Keith, Brooke and my mom fly to Pittsburgh on Sunday. I missed them so much! Annabelle and I had a great time bonding and catching up on sleep. Congrats Josh!!!

Touch a Truck

Keith took Brooke to the Strip District in Pittsburgh for their annual "Touch a Truck" event. They bring all kinds of fire trucks, mail trucks, buses, construction trucks, etc and the kids can climb in them and honk the horn. Brooke loved seeing all the trucks up close with her pal Christian.

Annabelle's newborn pictures

Our great friend Jess offered to take newborn pictures for Annabelle. She has a lot of experience with little babies. I am amazed at how many ways you can pose them while they are sleeping. Annabelle was a perfect little model for her photos. She didn't even pee during her naked pictures. Keith and I were able to get in a couple shots too. Big thanks for Jess for taking the pictures!

House update

Our builder sent us about 20 pictures of our almost completed house this week. We are so excited to move in. I LOVE the floors, the big kitchen and the fenced in backyard. Mason and Jackson are going to be thrilled.
