Reagan Leigh Nolan

Well, Reagan decided to make her grand entrance a month early. She is in the special care unit so that they can keep an eye on her breathing and feeding. I just called over there and they say she is doing very well. Unfortunately for me, I can't walk until the morning and Reagan can't leave special care, so I have not been able to hold her yet. I am going to push them to let me up ASAP! She is 6 LBs and 18 Inches. A good size for being so early. Luckily we were able to have an amnio on Monday, so we knew she would be healthy.
I will post more pictures sometime tomorrow. Just wanted to give you all a sneak peak!

Ballet Class

Mia had her first Ballet Class today. As I suspected- she loved it! There are only 2 other girls in the class, both of whom are 4 and have taken a class before. Here they are dancing with hoops and ribbons.Working on some ballet move- no idea which one.

Hopefully I can get better pictures next week- I couldn't figure out how to get the camera setting right.

Dayton Dragons

Some friends of ours had box seats for a Dayton Dragons game. It is the Cincinnati Reds minor league team. Sadly, they have a much better turn out and, probably, record than the Reds. The kids had a great time because they could run around the box. The adults actually were able to watch a good part of the game. It drizzled most of the time, so it was nice to be under cover.On Sundays, they let the kids run the bases after the game. This is Danny's second time doing this and he loves it. Here he is running with his friends Justin and Julia.

Mia was afraid of the Dragon Mascot, so Chris held her hand. She looked like she had so much fun once she got past the Dragon.

Danny started his Tennis lessons yesterday! He had so much fun and was doing pretty well. They had 20-25 kids from 4-6 years old. They broke them up into groups of 5, and each group had a coach work with them. The coach tossed 4-5 balls to each child to work on the different strokes.

And more of Princess Mia, yes that is a pillow case that she is sleeping in.

Mia making a design your own purse in her tutu. I found a kit that had a canvas tote and felt stickers for decorating. She loves it and carries her baby doll Amelie in it. She starts Ballet class next week!

Car wash

Last night Danny asked if he could wash my car today. It was a warm sunny day, so why not? They had a blast and even got some of the neighborhood kids to help. Needless to say, they went to bed very easily tonight.

And more of the princess.

Amelia

I just came down from Mia's room- it is 1030 at night. Chris and I have been watching her on the monitor for the past hour. She pulled everything out of her closet and has been putting on a fashion show on her bed. This is how she ended up. I don't know if the picture does justice to the amount of clothes in her bed.She has a strong sense of her own fashion. She picks out her clothes every day now. It usually involves dresses, leggings, hats and tutus.

We have promised her ballerina classes for her 3rd birthday.

She sleeps in her hat most nights. I don't know where she came from- she cracks us up!

Painting

We are starting to get the baby's room ready. We bought furniture for Danny's room that will be delivered mid-June. That gives us about a month to get the nursery and Danny's room painted. The kids wanted to help, so we let them help with the primer.

We are going to paint the nursery a purple color and Danny wants black. I think he will have to settle for more of a blue color.
