Welcome baby Violet!!!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our new baby girl! Violet Anne Moore was born on May 30th at 8:45am. She weighs 7 pounds 2 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. Happy birthday sweet girl!

Purple princesses

Laundry day!  Time for an extremely purple picnic with the buddies.

 Piano.

 Loungin'.

 Music.

 Park.

 And a picnic.

 Wrapping it up with making cards for Daddy's birthday.  A pretty great day overall!

Our last night before Violet

We celebrated with a few gifts, of course.

 Dresses for the girls...

 ...and their dolls.

 Mommy's last pregnancy picture: 38 weeks 5 days.

 Can't wait for tomorrow!

Weaving

Ho hum.  Breakfast is so boring.

But the girls have been enjoying making pot holders with this weaving loom.

 Mmm...lucky Bailey.

 Finally, a puppet show at the library.

Athletic ability

Haley and Bailey went for a walk...

...before showing off some mad gymnastics skills.  Here's Haley's handstand.

 After school crafts...

 ....and baby dolls, of course.  Who apparently are sick, and need medicine for a year.  They must have TB.

Brookfield Zoo

It sounded like a good idea.  In reality, it was very hot and sunny, and we saw about 5 animals.  And there were a lot of horsey back rides.

 Stephie did like seeing the orangutan as she recently wrote a report on him.  Did you know his arms are as tall as a 5-year-old child?
