Lilly/Maggie Montage

So far, Maggie loves her baby sister and wants to hold her all the time. However, she does get a little jealous when Daddy holds Lilly.

Home!!!

We are here and everyone is great. Maggie is asleep; Lilly is dozing in my lap; and Momma is taking a well earned shower. Big thanks to Heather's folks for looking after Maggie and the dogs while we were in the hospital - I am sure they will sleep well tonight too! No time to say much else - catching up on sleep paramount (or at least not adding to the deficit).

More Lilly pictures...

These aren't much different than those previously posted, but we have had some requests. I won't name names, but let's just call those people "Shrand-smothers." Anyhow, here are some pictures for those unidentified family members. : )
Enjoy!

Name that Baby!

From certain angles, we have noticed that Lilly and her big sister Maggie look similar (when she was that age). We thought we'd have fun with it, so we put pictures of Lilly and Maggie together to see if folks can "Name that Baby" (Answers below).

Weight 8 lbs 1 oz
Length: 22"

Momma and baby are doing great (and Daddy - not that anyone ever asks).

She has a calm temperament and is content to eat and sleep without much fuss yet. Looks a lot like her sister, but not exactly. (You can find Maggie's baby pictures in February 2009 blog posts).

I am sure more pictures will follow.

Pumpkins

Here are a few shots of Maggie's first pumpkin carving. Daddy elected to forgo the gruesome jack-o-lantern's of year's past (see pictures below) for an Elmo pumpkin.

chestnuts roasting on a not-so-open fire

Last week in our CSA box, we got a container of chestnuts, which I've never had before. So this weekend I tried my hand at roasting them in the oven...here are some pics of the process, plus one of Maggie helping me out in her new favorite outfit. (Oh, the verdict on the roasted chestnuts...not really that crazy about them, but at least now I can say I've tried them.)

Maggie's new shoes

Maggie has quickly outgrown her backyard, "chicken coop" shoes, so I went on a quest this week to find some cheap replacement ones. Thanks to Craigslist, I managed to find a pair of brand new, genuine Crocs for just $5! Maggie loves them b/c they are bright green...here she is testing them out in the garden.
