I Love Lucy

Little Lucy's doing great! Gotta love the hair bow- only in the South would they stick a pink hair bow on all baby girls in the hospital nursery!


Oh, and here's Avery figure skating while watching the Olympics earlier this week =)

She's Here!

Lucy Ellen Morris was born on Feb 16th at 6:30pm! She weighed 8lbs, was 20.25 inches long, and is healthy and beautiful. I got home from the hospital today and everyone is doing great. Avery is very sweet with her little sister, gives her lots of gentle hugs and kisses, and has already nicknamed her "La La LOU" =) Here are a few pics and videos I thought you might enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day! (no news yet)

Here is Avery in her Valentine's outfit chatting about baby sister. We're all ready!

Llama Llama

Avery's favorite book is Llama Llama Misses Mama. She wasn't quite in the mood to be video taped last night, so this is a little rough, but I thought you might get a kick out of her reading. She can actually do a better job than that! She loves going to school, but is a little obsessed about me coming "right back" so I knew she would love this book. Enjoy!

My Birthday

Today is my 29th birthday! I had a wonderful one, hanging out with my handsome husband and joy of a 2 year old. We were essentially snowed in all weekend, but I needed to take it easy anyway, seeing as how there's roughly 2 weeks left until "Baby Sister" makes an appearance. I'm feeling good so far, relishing my time with Dave and Avery as a family of 3 before things get crazy around here. I'll keep you posted in the coming weeks with a hopefully happy announcement!

Thought you might get a kick out of Avery singing Happy Birthday to me. She loves birthday parties!

Snow Storm- a real one this time =)

We had a real snowfall this weekend! Yay! Avery has had so much fun sledding and playing in the snow, and we're glad for her to see some real winter weather, considering she was born in Michigan and all =) Yesterday it was freezing, gray, and windy, but we still had fun walking around the neighborhood... the roads were too bad to head out anywhere in town. See post below where I uploaded a video of her sledding.

Today, however, was sunny and beautiful. We met up with our friends and neighbors, the Hannolds, to take the kids sledding. They live around the corner and have a 3 year old daughter, Addison. They're also expecting a baby this spring, so we have lots in common. We had so much fun sledding, and then having hot chocolate and lunch at their house afterwards. Here are some pics from today:

We even built a snowman- a big one! Check him out, you know Avery loved that, as she is still obsessed with Frosty the Snowman =)

Fun with Friends

Avery had so much fun at Abby McKinney's birthday party last week. It was at Pump it Up, an indoor jumping playground, Avery's favorite! Dave and Jared went to med school together, and they are some of our dearest friends. They live in Nashville too, but in the southern-most suburb while we are in the northern-most suburb. Boo! It's still fun to get all of our little girls together.

Thanks to Jared for helping Avery along... my 9-months-pregnant-self wasn't too good at the inflatable obstacle course =)

super fast slide!

We've also gotten to see Mimi and Granddaddy several times lately- here they are playing ball together, so fun!
