Master Shane

Congratulations to Shane! This week he graduated with his Masters Degree in Accounting. We are so proud of him, he worked hard this year. I'm happy he is done, because now I don't have to stress about his homework! To be honest, I think I stressed over his school a lot more than he did.Shane loved his hood

I surprised Shane and made this onsie for Anabelle to wear to the graduation. It actually turned out really cute. So many people kept commenting about it. It was pretty fun. (Anabelle is cheering "hooray!")

We also went to the MAcc reception last week and where they hand out awards. All of Shane's best friends received academic awards and best team-member awards... Let's just say that Shane picked up a couple of the joke awards. His class members voted him as "class clown" I'm not really sure what to think of it. But if you think that's bad, I'm not even going to tell you what his second award was...

Above are members of the tax track, below are some of Shane's best school buddies!

And Shane's two awards!

We are all so Proud of him!

2 Months and Easter

Time flies when you're having fun! Anabelle is 2 months old now. She is such a delight. I am fascinated by how much she is learning and growing each day. We took her to her 2 month appointment and Doc said she is a happy and healthy baby. She is in the 90th percentile for her height at 23 1/2 inches, and 50th percentile for her weight at 10 lbs 14 oz. She must be taking after daddy's height, because I sure don't have that.

Easter Sunday with just our little family

Daddy and Anabelle getting home from church.

Our cute pink bunny... sound asleep after church. Thankfully we all got a few zzz's in. I love family nap time!

We tried to put her in her Easter basket, it didn't really work. Fun thought though. After nap time we went on a family stroller walk! So fun, I think it was Dad's first stroller walk.

After our stroller walk we colored eggs. I think Anabelle liked it :) I love this picture. look at her face.

Anabelle's Blessing and More

Wow it has already been another month since I have posted, and since Anabelle was born. There is so much to post. I have a bunch of random things crammed into this one post. Anabelle is growing up so fast. It is so much fun, but kind of sad at the same time.

Anabelle's Baby Blessing

What a special day it was. It was really neat to have Shane bless her. We are so blessed to have Anabelle in our lives, and we are lucky to be her parents. Clearly I am not a photographer, my mind doesn't think about getting good pictures until the moment is past. The only pictures I have of her is when she was waking up and kinda mad, but she was so precious! (I think my sister took some that I might round up and post later.)

Pictures
Here are a few pictures of when she first started smiling a little more. She is in her cute church clothes too. Now she is smiling all the time I love it! Of course when I would take the picture she would close her eyes, but still, so cute! I swear she was doing it to tease us, it was so funny!


Anabelle's Bedroom

I love these two things... The swing helps me get a few things done in the day:) And the stroller helps me get some fresh air, if only the weather would become a little more spring-like. I'm ready to put some miles on that thing.

Who is babysitting Who?

I came home from the grocery store to find this. NOTICE: Shane sound asleep and Anabelle wide awake.

More Pictures
I had to get some pictures of Anabelle when she was sleeping, and matching her cute blanket.

I'm working on getting the Easter pictures up. Hopefully I'll post them by tomorrow.

One Month

It is so hard to believe that Anabelle is one month old already! One of our cousins gave us this cute teddy bear and 12 signs to take her picture by every month, to see how she grows. So here's our first... Anabelle is seriously a taste of heaven. We are so lucky and blessed! I love when she smiles in her sleep!

Our happy family

Daddy and Anabelle after some intense March Madness!

Here she is... Anabelle Rowley

Born on Feb 25th at 6:03 pm

6 lbs 13 oz

19 inches long

Finally I am feeling good enough to post a few pictures of our beautiful little girl. She is such a joy and blessing. Here she is right after birth. She was so awake and alert... What a special moment!


Anabelle was in the NICU for 8 days on oxygen. It is so nice to have her home and healthy now. Shane has been the best daddy and husband ever!






It is crazy to think that Anabelle is two weeks old! And she is growing so much. She has already gained 1 lb since she left the NICU.

Bath time :) She LOVES the bath
