Butterfly Festival

Cox Arboretum is a huge park that has a butterfly tent (house) that you can walk through. They have a few festivals throughout the year. This weekend was the butterfly festival, complete with festival food, crafts and music.

Kelly's visit

Here are a few pictures from when my sister and dad came to visit. Kelly and I took the girls to Wegerzyn Garden while my dad took the boys to the Air Force Museum.

Eddie and Danny went to tennis lessons.

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!
