18 weeks and growing!

Christmas 2011

The 1995 gang reunited with lots of kiddos!

It was great to have all of our high school friends together over Christmas break. We all have at least one child now so there was lots of fun for everyone-both the kids and parents!

The Future Angelina Ballerina!

Addison has been taking ballet and tap lessons since September. She loves dancing and talks about her big recital (not until April) almost weekly! Here are some pictures from her class.

It's a ...???

GIRL! We were so happy to find out today we are expecting a healthy little girl! We told the girls by having the baby give them shirts - if they were pink it would be a girl, blue a boy. As Addison opened hers up she said, "Ella whoo-hoo...it's a GIRL!!!" We can't wait to meet this little one in May! We are so glad she looks so healthy!

13 weeks Old

We had another ultrasound and found out our little Baby Baier appears to be very healthy! She/he (won't find out until December 28th) was very relaxed and cooperating as much as the ultrasound tech. hoped at first to get all the necessary measurements. Then she/he perked up and waved to us. She captured it on a picture, enjoy!

A Visit with Santa

Another priceless Baier Family moment....hee-hee.
Ella didn't cry but was not a fan of Santa...it was quite a scowl on her face! Good thing Addi told Santa what they both wanted for Christmas.

A Perfect Season With the Best Yet to Come!

Life is sooo sweet...it's about to get even sweeter! We're expecting! Baby Baier will arrive in May. We'll have three peanuts 3 and under...we'd be lying if we wouldn't say we'll be keeping busy:) Words can't describe how unimaginable this story of our lives has played out from 8 years ago at this time....feeling SO blessed!

Donald Driver was able to share in our excitement when we attended his charity event about a month ago. He just had his third child so Larry asked him about any pointers on how the game works when there is no longer man to man defense:) We're all set to roll now with his advice!

Halloween Fun

Despite the girls being under the weather, they still had a fun Halloween. They had some friends come over for a Halloween party earlier in the week.

They trick or treated in our neighborhood with our close neighborhood friends. Ella didn't want the fun to end though...(see photo of unhappy bee on floor). However once she caught on to the process of handing out the candy to the kids, she handed them their candy (and/or threw it at them - see photo of bee with fists full of candy in air) and then would say, "All done...bye-bye!"

Fall 2011

Birthday Girl

Addison had a great 3rd birthday. She had fun at her party with our family and her godparents. She received all sorts of nice gifts that will keep her (and Ella) busy for some time. I think most of all she enjoyed celebrating with everyone!

She got a "big girl bike" (as she calls it) from us. The second she stepped on it, she picked the riding up quickly and went around the block (1/4 mile or so) with the neighbor kids (and Larry too). She was so proud to ride it with and tote along her babies/stuffed animals in it too.

One Happy Girl!

We had Ella's room painted with a mural. It includes a painting of Bailey (who she happens to adore). This is her favorite part of her room as she tries to "pet" the wall where Bailey is painted! It turned out super cute.

Summer 2011

Our Girls

This free scrapbooking design created with Smilebox

We had Ella's one year pictures taken and at the same time had Addison's three year pictures taken. We did a few combined pictures and they each had their own photos too. Addison was a ham and Ella just wanted to play with the toys and her sister and wanted nothing to do with the photography session. The photographer did capture their little personalities and spirits though despite not 100% cooperation!

Ella's 1st Birthday!

Ella had a great 1st birthday! On her actual birthday July 26th, we celebrated by going out to dinner. She really especially enjoyed her ice-cream sundae! The weekend after her birthday we had our families over and celebrated with a party. She enjoyed her duck cake and opening up her presents.
