They really do look alike....

I've been trying to work on my scrapbook. I've now gotten to the Fall of 2007, so I'm making some serious progress! I am also trying to work on Elaine's baby book, so I've been going thru a ton of pictures on the computer to say the least. I had to share these....

Some Quiet Time

My mother and grandmother came in town on Wednesday. We had a nice visit and Thursday they drove back to Austin with Miles. He is having so much fun with my mom! They made brownies for the firemen, and when they dropped them off Miles was allowed to sit in the fire engine. I know how excited he must have been! Today my sister and mom took Miles swimming. I'm sure they can't believe what a little swimmer he is!

With Miles in Austin, we have had a quiet house! I've been able to work on my scrapbook and organize my closet some. I am loving the time Patrick and I have with Elaine and we are just going crazy over her. With that said, we sure miss our precious little boy. We can't wait to have him back here!

It only took me 2 years to update this.........

Miles meeting Elaine
Miles is 3! Home from the hospital just in time.
Elaine's first bath!!

This blog has been quite neglected to say the least, but my Aunt Cindy and my cousin Emily have re-motivated me!

We had Elaine's 2 week appointment today at she is growing quickly! At birth Elaine weighed 7.12 pounds and was 19 inches long. Today she weighs 8.14 pounds and is 21.5 inches - she's grown 2 1/2 inches!! I am leaning a little towards the initial measurement being on the small side at the hospital, but looking back Miles grew 2 inches the first 2 weeks, too.

Elaine is a fantastic baby and Miles is adjusting really well. Today at nap I put Elaine next to Miles and read them a few stories. Miles didn't listen to the books at all. He kept checking to see if his baby was doing OK and gave her lots of kisses. Very cute, but his nap time routine is a lot easier when Elaine is sleeping ; )

Miles is heading down to Austin tomorrow with my mom and granny. Patrick is going to stop by the store on the way home to get him a digital camera so he can take as many pictures as he likes. He LOVES to take pictures and knows more about a digital camera than most people. I think he's going to be a gadget guy like his daddy!
