Pops and Mimi come to visit!!

We were so excited to have Mimi and Pops come for a visit!!  Edie came on Wednesday which was sooo nice because Chris had to go out of town for work.  Edie was such a big help to me.  She did lots of housework AND helped take care of Pearce!  She always had the bottles washed and the kitchen cleaned up and took care of Pearce while I showered.  I am really missing her right now!!  On Thursday, we went out to lunch and then I left Pearce with Mimi so I could go visit a friend who just had a baby.  On Friday, I left Pearce with Mimi and I got to go visit my kids at school AND get my hair cut.  It was great getting out by myself and knowing Pearce was getting loved on.  Cliff flew in Friday evening and they both left this morning :(

I love this picture of Pearce.  This is wubnub...his little buddy :)


"I can't wait for Mimi and Pops to get here!" 

"I love you Mimi." 

"Mimi!  I think I have to go tee-tee!"

"Oops...I just went tee-tee....all over Mimi." 

My other baby boy :)  

Pearce loves to look at toys on his play mat... 

...but when he's done, he's DONE! 

These two are always checking up on their little brother.


"No more pictures please!" 

Mimi was in Heaven with Pearce!!  


Yay!  Pops is here!! 

"Mommy!  Pops just told me he's gonna take me to Toys R Us and let me pick out all the toys I want!" 

Pops has always joked that he can't wait to take his grandchild to Toys R Us and let him or her go up and down the aisles and pick out whatever they want.  Well, now we've got Pearce and I keep asking Pops if he really is serious....yes he is...when he gets a little older!  I loved seeing Cliff with Pearce.  He just talked and talked to Pearce.  If he was fussy, Cliff would take Pearce into the nursery and rock and sing to him.  It was so sweet!!  


Pops had so much fun playing and loving on Pearce.  


Otis loves to join in the fun!

Pops with both of his grandsons :)

Pops and Mimi, we had so much fun with you!  Thank you for loving on our boy and for all of your help!  We love you and can't wait to see you again soon!!!

Pearce's Birth Announcement

Here is the front of his announcement.

 This is the back.


I am so in love with this announcement!!  I have dreamed of what my baby announcement would look like.  Would I even get to have one?  My friend, Melanie, took his newborn pictures.  She did such an amazing job!  I found a girl who designs all types of announcements and invites and asked her to come up with something "classic."  This is what she came up with and I just love it!  It's from www.girafficarts.blogspot.com.  Leslie's prices were very reasonable and she was so easy to work with.  I know I'll go back to her for other things...like Christmas cards!  Oh my gosh...we're going to have a Christmas card!!!
