A visit from Googa and Grandaddy

We had a great week filled with lots of time spent with Googa and Grandaddy (Zack's parents). They came to visit to meet little Annie and spend some good ole time with Lily. We are so thankful to have them here and for all their help! Lily will be quite bored without you and I'm sure Annie will miss all the snuggle time:) The week was filled with lots of time at the park, kite flying and lots and lots of eating! We are so blessed to have such great parents on both sides and we can't wait to move closer to you all!

Lily and Annie lately...

Its hard to believe Annie has only been here for two and a half weeks....time flies but at the same time it feels like she's been here forever! Lily is finally settling down a little bit and now she sometimes loves her sister a little TOO much if you know what I mean. She adores her right now and I have to keep and eye on them to make sure Lily doesn't share her goldfish and whack her in the head while she's "playing" with her. Here are a few pics of whats been going on in this crazy house lately. And by the way, the last pic is of Lily doing yoga with the ladies on PBS-which she insists on watching every morning.... 
 
 
 

Road Trip

Well, Annie has officially been on her first road trip. Zack has been able to take some time off since Annie was born which is wonderful. But if you know us, we can't just sit around for too long. Since Annie is the most laid back, sweetest baby we thought she might be ready. We decided to take off to Idaho. Why? I don't know...we've never been. Both of these girls did awesome! Lily is a girl on the go and usually a great traveler and it looks like Annie is following in her footsteps. We drove through Jackson Hole to Idaho Falls, ID and it was beautiful! It was snowing most of the way until we hit Idaho and then it was beautiful weather. We ended up staying there overnight and did lots of shopping and eating...hehe. We got to break in the double stroller which I will have to post a pic of later because it is awesome!! We also stopped on the way to introduce Annie Moran to her namesake. Mount Moran is one of the highest peaks in the Grand Teton National Park (Jackson Hole, Wy) and one of our favorite places to visit. We wanted her to have a little piece of Wy to take with her when we leave here. We had a great time and, yes, I realize I just gave birth two weeks ago, but we are all doing great and it feels like we've been a family of four forever...

Annie Moran Jones-Part 2

 
 
 
 

Its A Girl!

Annie Moran Jones made her way into the world Thursday, April 29. She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz. and was 18.5 inches long. Just about the same size as her big sister Lily! She is named after her great grandmother, Annie Lou and Moran is after one of our favorite places to visit in Wyoming. We were very surprised by the news and I'll never forget the doctor announcing "Its a girl!" I had convinced myself that this was going to be a boy and the thought of Lily having a sister overwhelmed me. Plus, we were totally prepared for a girl... And I must say she is the most laid back, sweetest baby I have ever seen. I was preparing myself for another wild woman like Lily. We are so thankful to have my parents visiting and they are helping so much. I am still wondering how I'm going to do it all on my own. Lily is very interested in baby and still adjusting a little. I almost melt every time she says "An-nie". All in all, everything is going much easier than I expected and I hope that continues. We are so blessed!
