So we all got ready to head into town for an Easter Egg hunt, and we got word that it was postponed until the following day....
So we headed down to Abma's Farm to see some animals...
Feed some animals...
And Grammy even hid some chocolate so Gav and I could find it...
We did! Bring on the Egg Hunt tomorrow!

What's the Time?!?!?
I got all the time that I need to kill....
and what's the time? 
It's time to get ill! 
What's the time? It's time to get ill! 
Word...... Gotta love those Beasties....
Happy St. Pat's!
I just have two questions. Who's the adult here, exactly?...
...and why is it okay for the big guy to eat my arm!?!?!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from our little shamrock!

School is in Session...
I've been teaching Baby Mae all kinds of great stuff...
How to roll around...
How to throw rocks at the pond...
I can throw really far! 
How to climb...
How to slide...
How to swing...
She slept through all of it! One day, she'll really learn to appreciate my knowledge of playgrounds and such. Bring on Spring!

How We Roll...
I love hangin' with my buds Big Sis Ella and Cousin Gavin. 
Ella has shown me how to roll around (I can roll from tummy to back already!)....
She's also been more open to holding me (with Daddy's help). 
We love hangin' out. It's how we roll.
A Little "Me" Time
Things around here have been a little crazy...
So I've started to take baths in order to get some alone time...
I find them so relaxing...
I often fall asleep... (seriously, almost every time)
Well, so much for that. My big sister keeps showing up and dipping her feet in my tub. What does she think this is the local swim club!?!?
It's okay, I'll share. I'm easy.

Business as Usual...
Ella helps with dinner (snapping string beans w/ Daddy)...
Mae sleeps...
...and sleeps (during the day).
It's like she's always been a part of our little family. Things are good- thank God for coffee!

A few more pix...
Here's Mae coming home from the hospital. It was freezing! For the most part, we covered her with a blanket....
Ella shows us hourly that Mae is "Tiny Tiny Tiny", and we use the hand gestures to make this point clear...
Mae got her first bath...
not her favorite, but she got through it. 
A little update.... We took Mae to the doctor, and she's already back up to her birth weight of 7 lb, 1 oz. (The doctor says that usually doesn't happen until they're 2 weeks, but Mae loves the hooch...)

Just a few pix from the hospital....
Look familiar? (see Ella's hospital pix about 2 and 1/2 years ago...)

Maelle Catherine has arrived! What a first day!
Wednesday morning, I decided it was time to come out and play. So first, at about 2 am, I jumped up and down on the big bag of water, and it broke! Mommy got up, and she and Daddy headed to the hospital. They got there at about 3 am, and I was free in a little more than 2 and a half hours! That was quick! If only I'd known I just had to hop on that bag! 
First I got to see what Mommy looks like. I could barely open my eyes, though so I didn't get a good peek. 
Then I met Daddy. He seemed cool. 
Then, I got to meet the coolest member of the family, Ella Kathleen! I can't wait to play with her and all of her toys! I think it's going to be pretty fun out here! I'm glad I decided to come out early! 
Maelle Catherine arrived on 1/7/09 at 5:55 am she's 7 pounds, 1 oz, and 20 inches long. The name Maelle comes from the Gaelic pronounciation of Melia (of O'Melia)- she's Mae for short. The name Catherine is for Catherine Duke, Katie's Nanny (grandmother) who she loved very much- just as we've all fallen in love with Baby Mae! Welcome, little peanut! We love you!
