Happy Valentine’s Day

This Valentine’s Day was not filled with wine and roses by a long shot. It was our first day home with two babies and we were overwhelmed to say the least. But amidst the madness there was also a  quiet calm in our home. It brought me so much joy to see Scott in full husband/father mode. He served our family with joy and patience. So although it wasn’t the most romantic day of my life, I have never felt more loved. Thank you hubby. My cup overflows!

Nathan Update

We’ve been at home almost a week now, and we are slowly adjusting to life with two kids.  Mom has been on Nathan duty, and Dad is on Hannah duty.  Nathan is doing really well, just eating and sleeping.  Hannah is having a tough adjustment at times, but doing well overall.  Yesterday I asked her if she was upset and she said “Yeah”, and I asked her why and she pointed at Nathan and said “Baby”.  We did our best not to laugh.  Here are a few more pics

Hannah found a new dancing outfit

Hannah likes to hold him in the evenings before bed

Hannah and Dad went to the zoo to get out of the house one day this week.  Hannah has really been getting into animals in her books, and it has been awhile since we’ve been to the zoo.  It was really fun watching her name all the animals and imitate their sounds.  All the animals were active.  We saw monkeys swinging around, penguins diving, otters swimming, lions roaring.  Here are a couple of pics

She loved the “choo-choo”

Nathan Day 3

Not many pictures today.  We had a pretty quiet day and rested.  Nathan and I put on our game day gear to watch the first of many Aggie games together.  It was a good time, especially since we won.  Here are a couple of pics

Nathan Day 2

We had another good day with Nathan today.  Breastfeeding is coming along nicely, and we had lots of visitors.  Big sister Hannah also got in on the action.  Below are some more pictures of our little guy

Nathan Scott Hubley

It's a boy!  Nathan Scott Hubley was born at 1:46 pm.  He weighed 7 lbs 0 oz and was 19.5 inches long.  Mom, baby, and big sister Hannah are doing well.  Below are a couple of pics.  More to come soon

 

Snow Day

We are finally thawing out from probably the coldest weather we’ll see all year.  The mercury finally got above freezing today for the first time since Monday including several nights with lows in the single digits.  During that time we had two doses of snow that kept us homebound for most of the week.  We finally decided to get out and play in the snow on Friday afternoon.  Below are some pictures.

Hannah had a rough time at first after an initial faceplant.

She mainly just liked to walk around in it.  Her new Christmas coat came in handy.

Snow day classic – snow angel in the front yard.

She loved making tracks in the snow.

Hannah and Mom.  She was not ready to go inside yet!

She also thought it was funny when I threw the snow at her.

That night before bed, she was ready for another round.  Dad’s hat and gloves should work fine, right?  I’m not sure why she needed the backpack.

2011 Stock Show and Rodeo

Since we have lived here, we are embarrassed to say that we have never been to the famous Stock Show and Rodeo. My parents were in town last weekend, along with cousin Sam, so we decided it was the perfect time to go.

Check out our cute little Cowgirl and Cowboy! 

Mom brought these overalls for Hannah. I thought they were so cute and very fitting for the occasion. She loved looking at all the little animals.

Nan and Pop with their grandkids (we couldn’t get Sam to look at the camera).

It was all lots of fun but the kids liked the pony rides and petting zoo the best. Dad is now convinced that it’s time to get a horse for the grandbabies. He’s starting them even earlier than he started us!

Hannah LOVED riding the horse. Unfortunately, she pitched a HUGE fit when the ride was over…it was not pretty.

Thanks Nan, Pop, and Sam for coming to visit. We had a great time!
