Easter 2010

Easter morning was not the best for taking pictures. About an hour before we were leaving for church, Maura decided to "sneak" a black pen near my computer, and she wrote all over her arms, legs, and even her dress. She got cleaned up thanks to Aunt Laura, but it made Maura not in the mood for pictures. Brody was not having anything to do with me taking pictures either. Oh well, we did what we could!

March 31, 2010

On March 31, 2010, Maura and Brody's 2nd Birthday, we went to play with friends. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so the kids were able to play outside. Maura and Brody had a blast playing, eating pizza and cupcakes, and were asleep before we left the neighborhood heading home. Thanks to Lindsay, Blake, Carson and Cooper for helping Maura and Brody celebrate their special day, or as Brody says, "Happy Day!

Second Birthday Party

Last weekend we had a family birthday party for Maura and Brody's 2nd birthday! Tough to believe two years has already gone, but we are having a blast at this stage. The pictures below show their personalities perfectly!



Different tastes led to two different birthday cakes!

Brody is about as laid back and relaxed as a child can get.

Maura is about as sassy and high-maintenance as a child can get!

Just another day....

I know I have been super slack in posting pictures and updates on Maura and Brody, so I took some photos this past week just because! Despite the nausea and sickness from the pregnancy, I managed to play and snap some pictures.

I cannot get over how old she looks with her hair in the ponytail!

Big Sister and Big Brother

Maura and Brody made the official announcement this weekend with their t-shirts that they are going to be big brother and big sister. This time we know it is only one baby that will arrive this fall. We have lots of work to do before another baby joins our family!

No More Highchairs

Maura and Brody are enjoying sitting at their table for meals now. The highchairs are officially retired!
