We have a 4 year old!

Natalie celebrated her birthday in style with Mom and Dad! We opened one present every hour or so, making for an entire day of gifts. She got her first pair of roller skates!! The next day she had her party at our church. The kids were able to play on the playground, eat snacks and cake, watch Natalie open gifts and just run around! Overall it was a good birthday for her. She got an insane amount of gifts and has been enjoying them ever since. Here are a few pictures of the birthday girl! (This post was delayed due to Mommy getting 5 migraines in the days following her party).

Fiona's Birth

Fiona Elizabeth Dostert joined our family on November 1, 2011 or (11.01.11 - a nice binary birthday) at 12:03pm. She surprised us all by weighing 7lb and 10 ounces (we were thinking 6.5 lbs) and was a whopping 21 inches long. Mom was only in labor for 6 hrs with about 1/2 an hour of pushing. She is just as beautiful as her big sister Natalie. She is a very content baby so far and definitely a better eater than Miss Natalie was at this stage. We came home on Thursday and are adjusting to being a family of four. Natalie is having some issues with wanting only Daddy to play with her, especially if he is holding Fiona and has been feeling a little neglected we think (even though we have been doing lots of fun things with her since we came home). Hopefully we will all get use to this new normal soon and get into a good routine. Here are a few pictures to enjoy!
