Christmas 2012

Best Gift Ever

Christmas was fabulous! We were busy bees traveling to visit with all of our family and hurrying home to be snug in bed  to await Santa! While Vera certainly won the best gift ever award... everyone was beyond blessed with so much love and lots and lots of new stuff!

Christmas Eve was spent in Mt Pleasant at our gracious host The DeMoura's. Aunt Jamie, Uncle Eric, John John, LaLa, Mimi, Mikey, and Cally and Cannon rounded out the bunch.

Happy Birth Day, Vera!

On 12/12/12 at 4:07pm, we welcomed our second daughter Vera Leigh. She weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 13oz and was 22 inches long.
The delivery itself went pretty smoothly but we were sure glad to be home two days later!
So far, she has been a fantastic baby, spending about 23.5 hours of the day blissfully asleep. Seeing her tiny face and watching her funny little expressions as she dreams, I have realized how fast time has gone by and its so bittersweet to see Remley and Rhett so much bigger in comparison! Thus, my recommitment to recap these memories through this blog.. So here comes my New Year's resolution a few weeks early....

Day One

 Everyone thought she looked a lot like her older siblings....

We (ok, me!) have had a lot of fun dressing her up and posing her for photo shoots!
