2012: A busy First Week...

Savana had a busy first week of life. Besides having lots of friends and family visit, she had her first Halloween and her Baby Blessing! Needless to say, she slept through all the events. She has been such a good baby so far. She is a real sleepy baby. I have to wake her up for most of her feedings and she rarely fusses or cries. I am just waiting for her real personality to shine through any day now. Baylee just absolutley adores her and can't get enough of her still. She helps with everything and thinks she can do it all...I have to really watch out for her! I am recovering great from the delivery--so much better than a c-section! It has been wonderful having family around to help out too! Thank you so much everyone!

My two Angels!

She just loves loves loves to hold her baby sister...

... and she could watch her all day long.

My little helper of many diaper changes...look at her focusing, this is serious business!

Savana's first sponge bath at home.

She just loves her Omi...

Happy Halloween!

Savana's Baby Blessing, November 1, 2009

Our New Family!

Louis's Parents arrived for the blessing too.

My Family...my mom made Savana's beautiful blessing dress!

Tight love from her Grandma Cynde!

My dad made her a beautiful delicious cake for her blessing!

I had to add this pic of the beautiful roses my great hubby got me when I got home from the hospital! He is the best!

A Little History

Louis grew up in a little town in Wyoming and I grew up in Georgia. His family is originally from Utah and mine are from Switzerland. We met on December 31, 2003. He was in school in southern Utah and I was living in Florida finishing dental school at the time. For our first date we were set up on a blind date for New Years Eve and a year and a half of long distance dating later we were married! Louis moved to Florida where we started our life together. As soon as I graduated from school I got pregnant with Baylee and she is finally here and we are very proud to show her off to all of you! I have to warn you that I am a little picture crazy!

We love you both so much.
