S'mores Anyone?

We had some friends over to roast hotdogs and marshmallows over our mini firepit. My dad has done a great job making a play area for the girls. It is now complete with a swing set - thanks Uncle Sammy! Maybe I can actually help pull some weeds in the garden while Adela swings. :)

Nora enjoyed the fun from her exersaucer

Little Peeper and Giant Bugs

Look who I found peeking over the crib railing!

We had a great time at the Natural Science Center with some good friends. Elise, Emily and Adela had lots of fun chasing each other through the zoo and play area. We sure miss having Hope, Emily and Elijah around!

Hope with Nora and Elijah. They are only one day apart in age! Nora has a few pounds and maybe an inch on Elijah though. :)

Day Trip to Charlotte

Today we said goodbye at the airport to our good friends, the Evans. They are returning to the Czech Republic. We stopped at a mall on the way back and Nora had her first carousel ride. She also got to sit in a high chair at Arby's. You can see that she LOVES to eat - she is a true Havlen! :) She's already reaching for the spoon and trying to feed herself. Adela adores her and is so loving. She plays peek-a-boo with her and sings songs for her. Nora has started responding more to Adela and lights up when she comes into the room. Everyday I am more and more thankful that I have two girls that can be best buddies. I think it would be wonderful to have a sister.

8 Months Old Today

My how time truly flies. I was just bringing this sweet baby girl home from the hospital yesterday. She is back to being my sweet angel baby. She LOVES food and has eaten everything I've prepared for her. I know that will all change as soon as she turns two, but I'm enjoying it for now! She peeks her head up in the crib after naps and melts your heart with her toothless grin. Come on over, I'll let you hold her, but just for a minute or two.
