January

Let's do a recap of January!

I've already blogged about Jason and Meagan's wedding, the Justin Beiber concert, and Virginia's 11 month update.

Here's what else happened that month!

Virginia started the month with a fever virus.  I could tell she felt terrible, but she never was without a smile for too long.

Lizzie and I attempted a photo shoot of the girls...

Cousin Kate "babysat" V in this chair while I got ready one day.  

I had sort of forgotten that I'd asked Kate to make sure V didn't fall out of the chair, when 30+ minutes later, she politely asked, "Aunt Bonnie, would it be alright if I got out of the chair now?" haha, sweet thing! 

 And the rest are just random snapshots, most from Instagram

And there ya go!

February coming atcha soon.

Weekend with Mary Blythe

A couple weekends ago, Virginia and I headed to Hartselle for a girls weekend

with Lizzie, Mary Blythe, and Sable.

Virginia behaved very well and I got some much-needed time with MB!!

We went shopping in Huntsville on Friday...

... And just laid low the rest of the weekend.

Sable took some pictures of Mary Blythe, and I, unconvincingly,

 pretended to be a photographer...

Virginia loved checking out MB...

Oh yeah, and we attempted a photo shoot with these little best friends!

It was a little bit disastrous.

Virginia just wanted to rip Mary Blythe's bow off and/or eat the grass.

Here are the best shots I could get.

Can't wait to watch these girls grow!!

Meet Mary Blythe

Meet Mary Blythe Lusk!

Mary Blythe made her grand debut on Friday, October 5th.

Lizzie had a c-section (MB was breech), and all went well!

After the c-section, they brought MB to the nursery while Lizzie went into recovery.

There was a huge crowd of family and friends waiting to see the precious baby!

Lizzie had to stay in recovery for about 2 hours and was more than ready 

to see her baby girl again!

They finally brought MB in to see her momma.

And then the rest of us got to get our hands on her!!

 Lizzie looked awesome!

(I would do a comparison picture of me after my c-section to show how much better she looks, but I don't want to humiliate myself!!)

Lizzie's doctor even let her eat anything she wanted after surgery.

Cheese pizza from Newks, 2.5 hours after the c-section:

This is a picture Lizzie sent me the next day:

Mary Blythe is just as precious as could be and I can't wait to squeeze her again soon!!

We did get a quick visit in last Friday before heading up to Florence:

Such a doll baby!! 

I'm so glad Virginia's best friend made it into this world healthy and perfect!
