Two years have passed

The last time I blogged we had just had Charly, and since we have added one more to our unit. Piper Marie Ballstaedt came to us June 4th 2011. We had her in our home and it was one of the best experience Nicholas and I have had together. Since then life has been busy but blissful. Piper has fallen right into our routine and Charly loves every snuggle and smile she shares with her. So far they are the best of buddies. Its been a great five months.

The first snow fall of 2011 and we couldnt resist to head up to Grandma and Grandpa Ballstaedts house and enjoy some of that powder. Chalry loved making snow balls and snow angels.

May and June 2010

Its been an eventful two months. I have learned to crawl and I have two bottom teeth, I am swinging on swings and jumping on tramps. I threw my mama and papa a birthday party to which all my aunts and uncles came. Thank you! We have been living life and loving every minute of it.

Swim lessons

Grandma B with Luella and Charly.

Ok but seriously this kids is a bowl full of laughs and excitement. This month has been full of benchmarks and spectacular feets. Charly rolled from her back to her stomach and now she is mobile. She is so much fun that I actually would recommend this parent thing to other people.

Swim lessons are going great. Charly loves the water and her dad looks good swimming with her. RAR! ;) She loves being under water and it comes so natural to her. We love exposing her to all different types of stimulus that will help her grow. Charly we love you .

Coming Soon

Nick and I have baby on our mind. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our baby girl. Official due date is fall Solstice September 21st. Which is ironic cause Nick and I got married on Summer solstice June 21st. Anyways the last eight months have been exciting with a whole bunch of new sensations and emotions most all good. I can't complain. My pregnancy has been great and I have been able to remain active and healthy which means baby is happy and healthy and we have had a lot of fun with it. The other great thing is how much love and support we have received. Our friends and family have out poured gifts and words of encouragement and parties on us probably more than we deserve. I am glad that we have been able to share this experience with so many people and people that we love and cherish. So any day now keep your fingers crossed and send me good thoughts.
