I have been busy, busy, busy planning a little girls 2nd birthday. Where has the time gone? How did my baby get to be two already? I remember when she came to the hospital after Marlee was born, I finally realized that my baby was no longer a baby any more and more of a little girl...
We have decided that Minnie Mouse is the theme. She is a big fan of the Mickey Mouse Club House. A friend of ours makes beautiful dresses and she made Victoria and Marlee some Minnie inspired dresses. I can't wait to see them on the girls.
A couple of weeks ago, Ted and my Dad went to Hawaii. Ted has earned this "Presidential Trip" 3 years in a row. The first year was to Aruba (and 4 weeks prior to me delivering Victoria), last year was Spain and this year was the Hawaii trip (4 weeks after me delivering Marlee). He has done so great at work and it's pretty impressive that he has won this trip 3 years in a row, not many can say that. I am very proud of him! So, my Dad has been able to be his partner in crime for 2 of these 3 trips. They had fun in Hawaii and played an amazing golf course on the ocean. I guess the views were incredible. While they were gone, we had a girls week. My Mom (THANK GOD!) came and stayed with me and the girls. I don't know what I would have done without her!!! We had a lot of fun and spent some great quality time together.
Marlee is almost 6 weeks old now. I can't believe it... She is smiling more and more and it's so adorable! I love that she's starting to be more interactive and that the smiles and coos are coming out. It's so rewarding when you can get a smirk out of that little girl :) Victoria is still being a great big sister. She likes to say "Marlee, so cute!"...but she says it in this high pitched voice that is hilarious. I need to get it on video! She is also always concerned about where Marlee is and makes sure that we don't leave her anywhere. "Mom, carry Marlee!" They are both such precious little angels, we couldn't be happier.
We had some family pictures taken a couple weeks after Marlee was born and just got them back. I will post them after I get announcements out :) There are a lot of really fun ones.
Take care.
Love: Ted, Erica, Victoria and Marlee
