Hannah’s 3rd Birthday

Yesterday was Hannah’s 3rd Birthday, but we celebrated all weekend long. We started out by taking chocolate donuts from Krispy Kreme to her preschool class on Friday morning.

Nana and Pops came up on Friday afternoon to help with the girls and celebrate too.  Saturday was Hannah’s day.  She chose to go to Chick-fil-A for lunch and then to Build a Bear at the mall.  We ordered pizza from Mellow Mushroom for dinner and had a princess cake and ice cream for dessert.  She loved her new “big girl” flower car seat from Nana and Pops and the princess tricycle from Mommy, Daddy, and Caroline!    

A New Normal

Caroline and Hannah (1 month)

Slowly but surely life has achieved a new normal around our house.  The adjustment from having 1 to 2 children is definitely a big one and one that I had trouble with at first. However, after convincing myself that life would indeed go on we have conquered those fears and life is getting into a new routine.  Hannah loves her little sister and loves to help, especially with baths.  We have been so fortunate that she has adjusted so well and really can’t complain at all. Caroline has finally figured out her days and nights and usually sleeps very well, getting up only once in the middle of the night to eat.  Sam is back at work full force and had a difficult rotation to jump back into.  He works very long days this month but is still always excited to see all 3 of his girls whenever he does get home.  We are gearing up for Hannah’s 3rd birthday this weekend.  She is oh so excited and it’s hard for me to believe that it has been 3 years since this precious child came into our lives!
