Nolan's Baptism

Special boy; special day! Last weekend was Nolan's baptism. We have been blessed to be able to celebrate both Nolan and Teagan's special days in Marquette with family, friends and Deacon Jamieson at St. Peter's Cathedral. Without fail Nolan showed up with his lungs in full force and there was nothing stopping him from screaming through the entire Baptism. While it was a special day it made for a very long and uncomfortable ceremony.

We love you little guy - regardless of your finicky ways!

Twins? Triplets?

I'm seeing DOUBLE!!

No wait, now I'm seeing triple!!

It's just Teagan with her friends Sydney and Lindsey enjoying a summer ice cream cone! Such fun friends and neighbors!

Dear Tooth Fairy...

When you see this little girl tonight with a hole in her mouth please make sure you leave her something special!!

Yahoo! Teagan FINALLY lost her first tooth! She waited and waited all year long to lost a tooth just like all of her school friends. Once summer arrived she lost her first tooth - it wasn't during school but she was still pretty excited! The Tooth Fairy came and left her TEN DOLLARS and left a trail of her green and gold glitter behind. So fun!

Kindergarten Graduate!!

What an exciting year! Teagan had a wonderful first year of school. She loved her teacher, Mrs. Ruth Klukow and made so many amazing friends. She's grown quite a bit this year - here's her picture on the last day of kindergarten!

It was a very bitter sweet day for us as a Kindergarten graduation is a sure sign that our little girl is growing up. I teared up during the ceremony but she was so excited!

After all the pomp and circumstance there was a Kindergarten picnic where Teagan spent time playing with her BFF Emily Rosin! She's going to miss Emily next year as they will be at different elementary schools. 

Congratulations to our little graduate!!!

Nolan is Four!

Ok, so he's only four months but still - it's a pretty big milestone for this little guy! Today we had Nolan's four month shots and even though he seems to be having a great time he was in pain from all the shots to the legs!

Little Mommy Teagan

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts Teagan adores her little brother and takes her responsibilities as the Big Sister very seriously. The crying and the screaming are starting to wear her down though too as the other day she turns and says to me "Mommy, he's starting to annoy me!"

What could I say - I had to agree but I also had to remind her that she did the exact same thing when she was a baby. She doesn't believe me. Now I have a mission to find the video of her screaming at the top of her lungs - seeing is believing!!

Even with the screaming I've been able to capture some special moments between these two.

Nolan is 5 weeks old and this is his very first bottle! She looks like a pro and he seems to enjoy it! Mommy enjoyed her FREEDOM too!! 

I just love the way Nolan is looking at her while she is feeding him and the look on his face when she snuggles with him is just priceless! 

"Let's Get Crazy" - Skating Diva

It's that time of the year again - time for the annual Brooklyn Park Ice Show. It what makes all these Monday night skate practices worth the running around. Teagan is very excited about the ice show this year because she is no longer in Snow Plow Sam - she's in the Skating School performance! She couldn't be happier with the music she gets to skate to - Let's Get Crazy by Hannah Montana!!

She's also very excited that one of her good friends is in the ice show with her. Here are some shots of Teagan and her friend Summer from Ice Show Picture Day:

She's also very excited to have a "big girl costume" this year. The ice show is the last weekend in March so more to come for sure!!
