We recently decided it might be fun to move Ella into Lily's room and have them share. Thankfully, it was a super easy transition and they are loving having each other. Mommy and daddy are loving the shared bedtime routine, which includes story time on the floor and an earlier bedtime. It has been really fun listening to them talk to each other and laugh together. I think that already in this short time they seem closer.
For those of you that haven't heard, we are expecting a little boy in early May. The girls are very excited about having a little brother, and Jeff and I are very anxious to meet him. He is constantly moving around in my belly and loves to kick in response to anyone pushing on him...especially Ella. I have one more sonogram with my doctor in 2 weeks, and then we are going to have a 3-D one done right after that (cool Christmas gift from Jeff). So with any luck we'll get a good look at him and be able to make a decision once and for all on a name. :) He will be here in no time!!
As you might imagine, these are just a few of the many, many pictures we took on our recent trip to Disney World. We had the most perfect vacation and are already planning our return for when our little boy will be about 3. The girls can't wait, and neither can we. We made such special memories that we'll never forget!
As you can tell, we had a Disney-themed birthday this year in preparation for our upcoming Disney World trip. It is hard having a birthday right after Christmas, but there was still one thing on her list that she really wanted...Eugene. Flynn Rider (Eugene) is the doll from the girls' favorite movie, Tangled. Thankfully, Aunt Molly was able to find two of them, one for each of our girls. Eugene is actually Ella's most prized possession now and doesn't leave her side, and he is among Lily's plastic menagerie of toys that generally cycles in and out of her bed for naps and bedtime. All in all, we had a really nice time celebrating Lily's fourth birthday with our family, and Lily had fun sharing cupcakes at school with her friends.
