Mia's favorites

The kids love getting mail! Today we had a few big packages on our porch (we've received a lot lately and I promise thank you cards are coming!). Aunt Pat sent this for Mia- it was Carolines first ballet recital outfit. Needless to say, Mia thinks it is the greatest thing on earth. I wish you could see the General Greivous Star Wars tattoo on her shoulder.

Kids

Just a few pictures of the kids. Reagan is doing well, she is a very easy baby so far. She still sleeps a lot. When she is awake, she is just looking around. This was Mia's first time holding her.
Danny is at a Star Wars camp this week. He is having a blast! They are using magnets to study "the force", and Mars because it is hot and volcanic like the star wars planet Mustafar. They take their lightsabers into the woods to hunt for ewoks and Jabba food (nuts and plants). I asked him what his teachers name was and he told me "I don't know, but it is spelled S-T-A-F-F". He is a funny kid!

More Reagan

We gave Mia a princess vanity for her birthday. She loves to pretend to put makeup on and do her hair.

These are some pictures of the kids with Reagan. It shows how little she is compared to the bigger two. Danny and Mia are doing so well with her. Danny told me, before he went to bed tonight, to make sure I sang Reagan songs and bundled her up. I promised him that I would take good care of her.
This is the outfit that we brought Reagan home in. Chris had to go buy something, since we didn't expect to have such a tiny little thing that needed to be bundled up. I think he did a great job!

More Reagan

Reagan was released from the Special Care Nursery this evening. She is doing well with her feedings. The kids came up to see her today. Danny is so good with her. He sings her Twinkle Twinkle and rubs her cheek. Mia wants to help feed her and dress her and hold her. She needs to work on the gentle part. Here are some pictures.

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.
Mia posing before class.
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.
