Fishing at Sunset Park with dad and Grandpa

Tessa in the rocking chair

This is the rocking chair I had when I was a little chair. Tessa just loves it, and I had to snap a couple photos.

I don't think it's any surprise at this point that I'm expecting. Everywhere I go, people ask me if I feel like I'm about to pop. I know I may look it, but I've got another 2 and a half months to go here, folks!
Some pics of the ultrasound.
Debating names Layla / Laila or Lyla. Leave a comment if you strongly prefer one over the other and why :)

This was my 2nd ultrasound. Thad was still holding out hope that the first one might have been wrong, that it could really be a little boy in there. Not so!

3D ultrasound. Maybe she's yawning? I think she's using the placenta as a pillow....

Siena took this one- budding photographer!

Big Burrito

And she ate the whole thing!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had an awesome Mothers Day this year! Thad went fishing with my brother the day before, and brought back trout, with he cooked up for me for dinner:) after he made frittata for breakfast that day :). He also bought corsages for me AND THE GIRLS for church that day!
My darling girls' Mothers Day presents to me: Siena drew a picture of her and me, then wrote "HBE MUTHRS DA" on the back (her first attempt of writing more than 1 word all on her own!), then picked a bunch of flowers for me. Tessa volunteered to do the dished and helped daddy take out and refill the trash. I love being a mother to my 2 (soon to be 3!) darling daughters!
Happy Mothers Day everyone!! 

All the trout (and 1 bass) Thad and Danny caught.
 They drove 5 hours to catch it!!

delicious frittata!

Siena's picture of me (with the curly purple
hair) and her (notice she's taller)

HAB MUTHRS DA!!
Siena asked me earlier, "Mom, how do you
make the "th" sound? And with that, she did
this all on her own.
Her very first note all by herself!

And taking out the trash- without being asked!

 The girls and I had a really great time making these crazy feather hair fascinators, and they really wanted to wear them to church, so they dressed extra fancy and were quite adorable!
