Snow Day!

It snowed all day today. We just hung out in front of the fireplace most of the day. Scrooge (Matt) actually didn't protest when I turned on the fireplace today. It was too perfect of a day to have a fire in the fireplace to not take advantage of it. If only I had time to just sit in front of it and read...

Matt and Kate went outside and checked out the snow. She liked it much better than she did last year. There will be even more snow for her to play in when she wakes up in the morning.

Today

Here are some shots from today. Elliott seems to be a smilier baby than Kate was at her age. Speaking of Kate... We caught the ornament bandit in action. It has been a non-stop battle to try and keep our ornaments on the tree. As you can see, Kate is winning.

Smile

Elliott is smiling more these days. I still haven't been able to catch a good one with the camera yet. So, here are some sort-of smiles.

Christmas Cards

Today we took some photos to get a picture for our Christmas card. I thought there were some pretty good ones. I wish I didn't have the extra baby weight (...or the dark circles under my eyes), but oh well... we are crunched for time! I can be skinny next year. Kate got to hold Elliott all by herself for the first time. Elliott survived Kate's overly enthusiastic death-grip.

3 Weeks Old

Two Weeks Old

Elliott turned two weeks old today. She had a good two week check up. She now weighs 8 lbs 14 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. I can't believe how quickly she is changing!

Getting Settled

We are finally starting to get settled in with two kids. For the most part, Kate pretty much ignores Elliott. We have had lots of help from family this last week which is much appreciated! Mom and dad, Mee Mee and Kathy have all been over to help out and feed us. Matt's parents are also in town for the weekend. Here are some pictures of the girls from this morning.
