where did the time go...

So it has been a long time since my last blog. So much has happened. My goal is to always blog once a month but I have not since March. April as many of you know brought a lot of bad weather to NC. The worst was the tornadoes that devastated many cities in eastern NC. So my job went from slow to crazy over night. Ryan also started his new job in April. His job started off crazy too because the tornadoes also affected many of the McDonald's location in his territory. So April went by in a whirl wind. My job kept busy for most of the summer, as did my 2 year old. All of a sudden we were rushing around getting ready for our newest addition. She made her way into the world on 8/11/11 at 7:55am. She was 7 lbs 20 in. She came via c-section as she was breech. She came a week early to prevent me from going into labor. The c-section was not as bad as I thought it would be. Slower recovery but the actual procedure was not bad at all. And no contractions so cannot complain about that! Ryan's mom was able to come out and help us out right after she was born. I had a lot of trouble getting around at first so it was really nice to have her here. Lilly loved spending time with her. Olivia is doing great, almost 6 weeks old. She is strong and healthy and beautiful just like her big sister. Lilly has loved having Olivia around. She is a fantastic big sis and big helper for mom. Lilly has started dance and just loves it. She is taking tap and ballet. She is quite good at it and listens so well to her teacher. We just feel so blessed and lucky to have both of them. We hope everyone gets to meet her soon and see how much Lilly has grown!
