The first couple of weeks of life as a family of four...

Emerald's newborn photo shoot
Sweet smiles...

And precious frowns.


Big brother with his baby sister... he loves to hold her :)

So gentle and so sweet 

Two week photo shoot

Love this little family :)


The best big brother!

Kieran had so much fun jumping on the bed...

When he got home he decided to try it out again on our bed ;)

Sweet, sweet boy!

Daddy and little girl

Mommy and Emme

We love our new addition

Love the newborn look

And the new born feet ;)

Wearing the cap Kieran wore in his first professional photo shoot

Pretty in pink

This was nearly a four hour session- she was not all smiles and sweetness the entire time ;)

Sleepy girl... I forgot how much newborns sleep... and how much we want them to sleep!

Mommy and Emerald selfie :)

Enjoying some warm spring weather on the back porch

Sleeping again- in the chair we borrowed from Erin... the same swing we used with Kieran five years ago :) Thanks Erin!

A windy April day- perfect time to fly a kite!

The Spiderman Kite was a hit!

"RUN!"

A sweet little sleep smile ;)

One week old... so big!
Here is Kieran at one week old... about the same length but a whole lot skinnier ;) He lost nearly a pound that first week while we waited for my milk to come in... no such wait for little girl though as is apparent in her chubby cheeks!

Another sweet sleep smile- love these!

Sleepy girl after her newborn photo shoot...

Loving all the little girl clothes I have to admit ;)

Emerald's first stroller ride... thank you to Lori for the cool onesie- love it!
A little sneak-peak from Emerald's photo session- LOVE this picture so much!

I think I am going to love headbands ;)
Two weeks old... we had Emerald's two week appointment yesterday- she was up from 9 lbs (weight at her 48 hour check up) to 9.12... gaining like a champ despite her best efforts to spit and vomit up her meals ;)

Rick took Kieran a "special lunch" to Dandelion school one afternoon... Kieran was thrilled!

One of his favorites- sub sandwiches from Jimmy John's- mostly his favorite because he loves the salt and vinegar chips ;)
As luck would have it, there was some sort of party at the bank next door to the preschool and Kieran got to enjoy a slice of cake on his special lunch too!

A chance playdate with Brooklynn at the mall play area... they were so excited to see each other outside of school!

Holding hands down the slide ;)

A silly boy enjoying dinner on the back porch ;)
