Isabelle "Sweet Cheeks" Reese Green

I is for Isabelle!

So this little girl loves to be held. I think we are starting to spoil her too with all the holding. She will scream what seems like forever, in my mind, until someone picks her up. 

Oh well, I say, because I think she is our last one... right? I said that the last child. 

Wow I look tired... she's worth it though.

 Good looking daddy.

 Actually doesn't mind her car seat, once she is in it. Girls are watching something apparently very interesting on the tv.

 Anna Kate seriously can NOT get enough of Isabelle. She loves to "help" out.

 Sweet blanket from a dear friend.

 Madeline is a great other pair of eyes and ears for me in the house.

Overall we are doing great!

We love our new addition to our family.

The morning of the c-section. Both Steven and I were so sick with a terrible cough and cold. But we were so excited to meet our little girl.

Good to have mom there by my side.

 Family of 5!

Snowed alot the next day after we brought Isabelle home. Daddy, granny and the girls made a snowman and a baby snow baby, complete with hat and passy.

She is so sweet and makes our family complete.

Welcome to the world Isabelle Reese.

We love you!

Snow, swim bands and special dancing

Finally we received a really good snowfall for the first time this winter season. It has been so dry here and snow is almost rare in Colorado, where we live seems like (if you can believe that). Needless to say, we were excited for the 14'' of snow we received the other day.

 Anna Kate helping shovel.

I was safe and warm inside, sorry about the screen on the picture. 

The girls had fun playing with their daddy in the white stuff.

Proud parent moment:

Girls have passed their swim test after months and months of lessons. They can officially swim without a floating device! Which will only make me watch them more in the pool, I gotta say.

Father/ daughter dance at their school

Sweet superstar Madeline at the dance.

Baby Girl Green Sprinkle

These two wonderful girlfriends, Ann and Jackie, threw me a diaper and wipes shower. It was 1st class and had such a great crowd of friends there. 

I don't know how to thank them enough. But I do know how important it is to have friends you consider family when you are far away from home.

And just for the record we don't have a name at this time. There is a list which I told my hubby he will be picking from when she comes into the world on March 6th!

Toys

You know you're getting old when you find this pineapple slicer a fun find!
Steven is so excited for this.

Surprisingly enough, it works!

Here are the girls with their new toy obsession:

And they rarely fight when they are both playing Lego's too!
