A New Addition




We are just pleased as punch to announce the arrival of our new little one, Kyra Anne Scanlon. She was born April 30th (happy birthday Laura) at 1:29 p.m. weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz and 19.5 inches long. Jason gets a real kick out of showing everyone her long limbs, fingers and toes. Her eyes are getting darker every day, so chances are (if you go the the genetic square, the most probable outcome): her eyes are going to be brown. She's a very quiet baby, mostly just little squeeks, so we've taken to calling her "Little Squeeker." She's also pretty alert for a new born and gives us the most beautiful smile (I know they say it's just gas-but I choose to believe otherwise.)

Here are some pictures of my "before" shot, right after she was born, and then just before we went home from the hospital. She's doing very well now, and her cheeks are filling out and at one week old-I'm happy to say I'm back in my normal jeans. We love you all and can't wait for you to meet our little girl. (P.S. I will try not to be so lazy next time and get the pictures rotated . . . it's just the program we use to do that is fussy and I don't have the energy to fight it right now).

Your new baby is adorable. Jason, you are definitly outnumbered, bribery is a good thing to make dadies little girls.

you look fantastic sideways! I know Betsy already said it, but I was so proud of myself for coming up with that clever little snippet. Oh well. she always beats me to the punch. I can't wait to come see the baby again. I'm glad she has regained her birthweight and has figured out the "mother nature is calling" process.

A Moment to Enjoy...How Cute They ARE!

Image
I just had a few fun pics laying around and I thought I'd share them. I just love my girls and have so much fun with them! And I love how Kyra wants to be just as big as her sisters. The girls loved playing in the snow this winter and Allie remembered too much of "A Christmas Story" and started yelling "I can't put my arms down" when I got her dressed up! She even made me try to push her arms down and she'd pop them back up. :) After every bath or shower, the Emma and Alliehave to have turbans put in their hair! And Kyra, of course, needs one too!

Twinkle Toes

On June 14th, Emma and Allie were able to demonstrate how skilled they have become in dancing lessons this year in their recital. They danced to the Wonder Woman theme and In The Navy by Men at Work. Anyway, the point is, they looked so cute I just had to show you too! I'm working on getting video footage of their dances so you can watch. Obviously, I still haven't learned rotation yet . . .

Philosophies of Emma

Image
So Emma is already talking about what she wants to do for her birthday in July. She wants it to be Princess and the Frog themed (a little funny, since that's sort of what Allie had). Anyway, has it very specific in her mind. E: I want Princess and the Frog, and I want to invite only girls. M: Alright hon, that sounds fine. How about we talk about it closer to your birthday? E: Except, I want to invite Uncle Ty. M: Okay, but I thought you wanted to invite only girls? E: Well Mom, we will need a FROG! So to my sweet brother out there. Thanks for being such a great frog, from birth until now! (For those of you who don't know, he had jaundice so bad at birth that he was green...)
