The Latest........

What a couple of weeks these have been! It was such an amazing day getting to bring Chloe home from the hospital. Caitlin has adjusted so well to the new addition to the family. She is really proving to be a fabulous big sister! We've been keeping busy ever since bringing Chloe home. We took the girls down to the Lantana Spring Festival where Caitlin got to take her first pony ride. She had no fear and hopped right on that horse, saying "nayyy and weeee" the whole time. We also took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum where Caitlin had a ball pointing out all the pretty flowers and making new friends with all the other little ones there; she is quite the social butterfly. We also went to the Lantana Club for Easter Sunday brunch where Chloe enjoyed her first Easter, and Caitlin joined in her first Easter Egg Hunt! She was a natural! Tom showed her one time how to put the eggs in her basket and off she went, gathering her eggs. Chloe is a wonderful little baby; we're very lucky. She is healthy (now weighing in at 8 pounds 3 ounces) and still keeps a regular schedule of sleeping for 3 hours, then eating, then back to sleeping! We are very thankful for all our blessings. We send our love to all our friends and family!

What a week!!!!

Well, this has been one amazing week! Chloe Lynn O'Brien was born March 26, 2009. She was 20 and 1/2 inches long and weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces. She is a lanky little girl with long arms, legs, fingers and toes. She is healthy and we couldn't be more thankful. Caitlin is proving to be an amazing big sister. You would never guess she was only 15 months old. She kisses her baby sister every time she sees her and tells her "hi baby" in the sweetest little voice. Tom is back to work after taking off a week and I am healing well from the surgery. We couldn't be happier that Chloe is here and part of our family. What a blessing Caitlin and Chloe are.
