A Song In Her Heart




One thing that Maia does most frequently is sing a little song and dance along with it.  Sometimes its just her dancing and other times it includes other objects or people.  I don't know about you, but it just puts a smile on my face when I encounter the loud, da da da da.....  She never ceases to smile right along with you.  My hope and prayer is that this bold statement of happiness will not be taken from her and that she will always have a little song in her heart that she can dance to.

Paxton at Two Weeks

Paxton and I had a little photoshoot the other day to mark him being 2 weeks!  So these are a just a few of the shots I took of the little guy.  He loves loves loves to sleep and so I thought why not get some shots of what he does best (and he did not want to wake up either).  Enjoy the pictures!







I forget how little they are!

This shot was taken today because we got some neat gifts in the mail from our dear friend Julie!  Plus Maia loves holding her brother.  Often she says, "hold baby, sit down, hold baby".  Pretty sweet!

Family visits

 Having a new baby is a fun event in itself, but then it also creates an opportunity for family to come out visiting to meet the little pumpkin. We got the opportunity to have my (Jeanette) siblings come into town to visit.  This led to a third fun event of getting to show off the beautiful area that we live in!
Siblings at Multnomah Falls!

Then there is our little family!
Lots of fun with Uncle Nick
We even all got to go to the Ocean, here is Maia having a blast in the sand.  It was not a warm day either. 
Maia chasing a seagull. She has become pretty sneaky when in comes to chasing animals that are scared of her.  We owe that all to our cat Meko who is always running away from this little girl. 

Paxton's first time at the ocean.  However, he slept through the whole time we were on the beach.  In fact, he actually slept through the entire trip to the Coast.  That's a newborn for you!
With all the activities Maia was a bit tired.  I thought she was actually going to take a nap at the Farmers Market with her blankie, or nummies is what she calls it.  
Our week with family was great and we were sad to see them go.  However, it is definitely time for us not to be so up in the air, but to set our routines and figure out how to function as a four person family.
