The Nursery B-day Party

Peter and I have been attending Northridge Church in White House. I have met a lot of people in the nursery because of Isabella, of course. Shannon is the nursery director and she is fantastic! Isabella had such a hard time with me leaving her so I decided to help out every other Wednesday night and Shannon would make every effort to help her. Usually when I came to pick her up I could guarantee Shannon would be holding her. I was usually right. So, anyway, Shannon always gets invited to the children's b-day parties and she just can't possibly go to all of them. Instead of her trying to make it to all of theirs she decided to throw all of the kids one big b-day party at the church. What a creative idea. It was like a carnival: duck pond, sucker game, throw the ball in the net, blow-up bouncy, popcorn, cotton candy, crafts, face painting, etc. Isabella had the time of her life! She had so much fun that I don't know if I've ever seen her that excited! She squealed, laughed, ran all over the place. I wish Peter could have come with us, but he had to work. Isabella found her friend Mikayla and the had fun at the duck pond together. I was sweating by the time we left. Isabella wanted absolutely nothing to do with mommy. She just wanted to go everywhere she could as fast as she could. What a fun party. Thanks Shannon for all you do!

This first picture is probably one of my favorites: sucker in mouth, craft bag that she got to decorate herself and her popcorn bag in tow. She's watching all the balloons waving around in the room.






Some pics of Harrison

Here are some of the pics I took yesterday at the hospital. Tessa looks so cute in her "big sister" shirt. She was so excited about her little brother being here. The one with mom and Tessa at the window was a priceless picture! Harrison had just peed all over the window and the nurse washing him. Tessa's face was so funny as she watched pee shoot right on the window. She didn't know what to think about it. Mom and I cracked up laughing. Luckily I had my camera out right at that moment. He's so precious. We're going to visit him again a little later today. I'll be sure to get lots more pictures. I can't wait!
