All smiles

I just love staring at this little face every day!

Sisterly Love

Joie has found a new favorite toy to play with.  I was so nervous that when I brought home the baby she would be insanely jealous but she hasn't been at all.  She is the sweetest big sister and she always wants to hug and kiss the baby.  Berkeley hates having her diaper changed and every time I change her Joie stands next to her and holds her hand and says "It's ok baby Berkeley" and kisses her until I'm done and the baby stops crying.  It's pretty adorable how much she loves her sister.

First Vegas trip of 2011

Well I worked up a little courage and decided to fly alone to Las Vegas with both children.  They were both ANGELS and we had so much fun.  It wasn't super warm while we were there but it was still way warmer then Utah so we were pretty pleased!

If any of you are ever in Vegas with your kids and you want something fun to do go to the Secret Garden at the Mirage.  They have Lions and Tigers that were so awake and got so close to you from the exhibit and they had the coolest Dolphin exhibit.  There were hardly any crowds and we got so ridiculously close to all the animals.  I have never been to any zoo or aquarium where you could get so close to the animals and the animals were so active!  It was incredible and needless to say Joie thought it was amazing.  As you can tell from the picture it was basically the brightest day in history.

While we were gone this little girl also turned one month old!

as you can see she is starting to get super chunky!  She has started smiling a lot and I will post some pictures of that soon!

She also got to meet her Great Grandma for the first time.  Isn't my Grandma a total babe?  She looks WAY too  young to have great grandchildren but she has 3 now!

We had so much fun but we are very very happy to be home with Daddy again!

True Love

In honor of Valentines day I just want all of us to remember the One who taught us HOW to love. On this day where we celebrate love, let us spend sometime thinking about Jesus Christ and how he is the One who taught us how to love one another. A friend of mine shared this video on her Facebook today and I thought it was the perfect message to share with everyone on valentines day! Love you guys!

One fortnight

This little girl is 2 weeks old today!

This little girl is pretty much the cutest big sister in the world

I took out one of her big totes full of toys for her to play with the other day and she found the hat, the purse, and the shoes and that was all she wanted to play with.  She is 100% girl.

Life has pretty much gone back to normal since the baby came.  Which means Andrew is gone at school and work for most of the day everyday and my girls and I just get to play.  I was so nervous that life was going to be so stressful and overwhelming and hard with two kids that I wouldn't even enjoy it but it has been AWESOME.  We definitely keep very busy but we are seriously having a blast!!

Don't mind that I'm in my robe...I just LOVE this little girl so much!

Berkeley Elizabeth Low

Well folks I don't have some crazy dramatic birth story to share...sorry to disappoint.  I had both of my children by cesarean section (I won't bore you/gross you out with the details of why I have to have c sections) so Berkeley's arrival was very undramatic.  I walked myself right into the operating room and BOOM, 2 minutes after they started she was here!  She weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 17.5 inches long so she was pretty teeny.  She is seriously an angel and has been so much fun so far.

Berkeley is the sweetest baby ever.  I know I'm going to sound so sappy but this is definitely the best time of my life so far and I can't even imagine that it gets better then this.  It has been so amazing to watch my husband and daughter fall in love with this little baby.  I feel over whelmed with how much love I feel for my little family.  Life is loud and crazy and sweet and amazing!

This was the first time I held my little princess.  It was so fun to experience this part again.

This may have been the funnest part of having a second baby.  Joie was so excited to meet her baby sister which I'm sure you can tell from the pictures.

Happiest daddy ever.  People always ask me "does Andrew just want a little boy so badly now?"  and I'm sure he would love a little boy, but he tells me all the time how much he just loves having little girls.  He is the sweetest dad.

We were lucky to get visited by my sweet grandparents too.

I'm really not a fan at all of being photographed without my make up on but this moment of her snuggling me just needed to be captured because it was so sweet.  Goodness I love this little girl.

Ready to go home!

We are absolutely in love with her!!!

She's here!!!

 Berkeley Elizabeth Low 

She arrived on Sunday January 23rd at 8:00 AM on the dot.  She weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 17.5 inches long.  She is so sweet and darling and we are so excited to welcome her into our family.  More details to come later...right now I have a brand new baby to go snuggle
