Take One

Take Two

Aww, forget it. It's over. It is impossible to get a good picture of both kids together!

Gavin will smile at anybody. He's easy to photograph.

Back in February of 2007 when I found out that I was pregnant, I was so excited and couldn't wait to start buying things for our new baby. I drug Matthew into Once Upon a Child. He was annoyed and complaining that we shouldn't waste our money buying clothing because we didn't know if we were having a boy or girl. While I was busy looking at all the pink outfits (I was sure I was having a girl!), I sent Matthew off to pick out something for the baby. I told him that if he picked something out, we could leave. He came back a few minutes later with this red and orange Hawaiian boy outfit. I wasn't sure that I liked it, but we bought it and left. It turns out that I was right, we did have a little girl- Alexa! The Hawaiian outfit was packed away with some other boy clothing I had (just in case) and put in storage. I forgot all about it until last week. I pulled it out and seeing the bright print brought back all those memories. I put it on Gavin this morning and it fit him perfect. He looked so handsome!

Alexa is sharing her sippy with her little brother.

Oh my! The adventures of potty-training!

Alexa and Gavin received a special package in the mail today. It was a box full of toys from Grandma and PaPa Pearson. Alexa was really excited about the Dora doll. She speaks in English and Spanish and says phrases like "I love being a big sister!" and "Help me feed the babies!"
