Week 2...

Well, somehow, we are managing. I think it's because we have such great families and so many people who want to help us and take care of us. We have not had to cook any meals because people have been so generous! We appreciate it so much because going from 1 to 2 kids has been challenging....Piper is doing GREAT; however, it is a huge change for us. Phil and I didn't realize how much our time together would decrease since one of us is always with a kid. But we love it and love our girls.

welcome to the world, lily eve!

Here she is and we couldn't be happier that our family has grown! We are terribly tired but excited about the life ahead and enjoying these sweet moments of learning. We will post her birth story soon because it is a CRAZY one. We were at the hospital for 18 minutes before she was born! Enjoy Lily's picture debut....

Some great pregnant pics...

With 5 1/2 weeks to go, here's Amy showing off her stuff.... this 1st one is particularly wonderful....

Giving thanks...

Here are some pictures of us over Thanksgiving. We celebrated with the Berry's in Black Mountain and then with the Cushings in Nashville. So thankful to be with the family in this time of thanksgiving and celebration. Now, we're in Black Mountain until baby Lily gets here- only 6 weeks to go!

We might have to get this for Christmas...

Whenever we think we've figured Piper out, she surprises us....She has never been interested in playing dress up until we spent a few days with the influential and dress-up fanatic, Eden Krawczyk. Eden LOVES to dress up and so Piper tried it out and played in this dress for hours. We are thankful for Eden's positive influence in introducing Piper to something as girly as princess dresses. This will complement her love for construction equipment well. Also pictured is Jolie- our other beloved Krawczyk girl!

Trick or Treat!

Here are some more pictures of Piper and David Thomas! They really are such good friends to each other...

Our tired girl digging into her candy bucket....

Happy Halloween!

We'll have more pictures to post soon, but here is a little taste of Piper in her costume- she was a cheerleader and LOVED Halloween. She actually said, "This is fun" when we got back in the car to drive home! The bucket of candy and living room "picmic" (ad Piper calls it) of Wendy's helped out a bit. Hope you all had fun too! Phil took about 20 pictures in a row of her "dancing" so some of these are evidence of that...we'll try to post more soon!
