Rose and Noelle wearing the same outfit… compare the hair! 

 

 

 

Anna Kate was so proud of herself and Rose gave us her first dreamy smile!

While I was sitting at the computer, the girls both gave Rose gifts last night.  Noelle put her rose right beside her, and Anna Kate shared her special kanky with Rose.  Both melted my heart, and the fact that they thought it up and did it together as a team was super sweet.

Chick-fil-A made this ketchup lover very happy last week!

Diapers from our first night home = averaged over 1 per hour!

 

 

 

 

I loved this car seat picture of Anna Kate when we took her home from the hospital and wanted to take one of Rose too.  They look so teeny tiny!

Guess who was waiting for us when we got home!?!  The two extremely excited and delighted BIG SISTERS!!!

There’s nothing more I could ask for than spending the day with my family.  It was so amazing loving on Rose all day Saturday!!!

 

Anna Kate spent all day on the windowsill.  I’ll never forget that was her little spot!

 

 

 

The girls took turns holding Rose literally all day long.  It was so fun to watch!

Playing!

 

The baby girls!

Daddy’s little girls!

 

Kisses and cuddles

Love our chunky monkey!

 

Noelle brought Rose this “pretend” rose we’ve had for forever… so thoughtful!

  

Just chillin’

This is her contemplative side!

 

Anna Kate discovered a great necklace (of course, under supervision)!  Thanks Miss Holly for coming to meet Rose.  Hope you didn’t get sick!

This picture just melts my heart!

The Pond grandparents with all their granddaughters!!!

Waited too long for a family picture today…

 

All good things must come to an end… this was Anna Kate’s first official melt-down!

Unfortunately, I got sick in the hospital, and we still haven’t gotten a chance to introduce Rose to some of our dearest friends.  Can’t wait for that.  The doctor started me on antibiotics, and now mid-week, I am feeling much better; however, I forgot how sleepless nights feel.  Time is so kind! 

Mike rocked it keeping the girls entertained at the hospital!  They had a blast hanging out with their daddy, and I had a blast watching them goof off!  (I think you will too)

 

 

 

 

 

Poppa had all sorts of projects to do with the girls while we were at the hospital… the first of which was to teach Noelle how to make his world famous cherry cobbler!  Thanks for getting into all the crafts, Poppa!  I was super impressed.
