Easter 2011

Here are the Easter pics finally. We had a really great Easter spending the day with my family at my grandparents house. The only downfall was that it was cold and a little rainy so I didn't dress the girls in their super cute Easter dresses but went with jeans and sweatshirts. Oh well, they can wear their Easter dresses for Mother's Day instead. I didn't even try to attempt a group shot of all 4 but did get some individual pics of each kid. Another thing I will try Mother's Day. 

Loralee Catherine's first Easter! 3 weeks old

Heidi is 18 months old now :)

Lilly is 4.5 years old now

 

 

Most 3 year olds don't want to stop playing with their cousins to pose for  a pic

Going on an egg hunt (I love the look on Heidi's face in the background too)

Here are a few random pics from this week :)

It only took 3.5 weeks but Bobby finally asked to hold the baby

Silly girl wearing her Halloween pajamas

Lilly is always willing to hold her baby sister

Poor Loralee doesn't get any privacy when it comes to her bath time

She's busy thinking

Her favorite place to sleep if someone isn't holding her



Carbon copies

So everyones always asking me who Loralee looks like. That's a tough one for me because for the first month or so all of my kids look the same as babies. They all seem like little carbon copies of each other until they get a little older. So here are pics of all four of them around four weeks old. You can decide who Loralee looks like the most. :)

PS Will be posting Easter pics sometime this week.

Almost 2 weeks old

It's hard to believe Loralee's almost 2 weeks old! The first week was kind of a blur since she had her days and nights mixed up. But things are going much smoother now and we are in a good groove. She's only waking up once a night right now which is amazing. I don't know if it will last but I'm enjoying the sleep while I can. And both Bobby and Heidi have finally warmed up to her thank goodness. Here's a few pics we've gotten this past week or so.

Heidi loves the infant swing too!

Heidi never took a binky as a baby but she sure likes her little sister's

 

 

She's waving in her sleep!

Check out Heidi's shoes in this pic

Finally got a pic of Bobby with the baby





Easter bunny

We went to the mall today with my mom, sister-in-law, and nephew to see the Easter Bunny. Surprisingly all 5 kids seemed to like him this year. Here's the best shot we could get of all the grandkids.

Meet Loralee Catherine!

I'm going to keep it short since I'm pretty much extremely exhausted. Loralee Catherine Lloyd was born Sun April 3rd, 2011 at 10:18pm. She weighs 6lbs 12oz and is 19 inches long. We are home now and doing great. Heidi and Bobby aren't too sure about her but Lilly loves her new sister. Will post more later.





Finally it's April!

I'm so glad April is finally here. We are having our last baby sometime during the first part of the month. Hopefully sooner than later because I'm seriously done being pregnant. I'm 37.5 weeks now and have never gone past 38 weeks so I'm totally antsy. The kids have Spring Break coming up soon and we are all ready for the weather to be warm again. The kids have gotten some really cute spring clothes and are dying to wear them! We've just been trying to keep busy while waiting for Baby Lloyd to arrive. I hate waiting though. I'm not a very patient person. :(

37.5 weeks and seriously over it. Just want to meet her now!

Spent the morning at Knott's trying to keep busy

We have discovered this little racecar ride the kids love in Camp Snoopy. Lucky Michael gets to go with them on it.
