Brooke's Announcement

(Kelli is just spelled with an i) But this is Brooke's baby announcement made by my friend, Lannie...her website is: www.janieandjackphotography.com -check it out!

2 Week Mark

I'm in jeans! When Brooke & I hit the 2 week mark, I tried on my jeans. (Granted, they are one size too big normally for me - got them instead of maternity ones!) But they fit! I was very happy because I love wearing jeans!

GOOD STUFF

When I find a good thing - I tell you. Here are two things that I've liked from Shaklee for over 8 years now...so now you can like it too!

This is a shake I give to my girls for breakfast or as a snack if they haven't eaten much during the day. They LOVE them and request them every morning - it's usually the bavarian chocolate one that they opt for, but the vanilla one is good too. If you have a picky eater...this comes in handy!

I love this protein powder in just water, in orange juice or whipped up in some vanilla yogurt, milk and maybe a banana or berries. Yum and it's smooth!

More good stuff at the link to the right (scroll down) - first link called Get Clean - Go Organic.

Home & Doc

We made it home on 4/4 and I found a comfy spot to chill out with Brooke.
She's already curious about the doctor's office - 1st visit on 4/5 to check her out.

So who got it right and voted GIRL? Congrats to you on a good guess! We were a bit surprised, but not surprised, and oh so happy with this little bundle of joy! She sure is a new gem and the girls just adore her. We couldn't be happier and are so glad she's joined our family. We are officially a party of 5! It's amazing to have a new baby in the house again! I got home yesterday - Thursday, and I'm grateful to have my mom here (with Chris) from CA helping us out with everything. Thanks mom!

It's been a physical, emotional, and spiritual experience for me personally and I am just honored to be a mother once again. I am in awe of the creation, the development, and the birth of a new life - truely a blessing to be a part of in every way. I love being a mother to my 3 girls and I look forward to all of the growth yet to come with all of them.

All my love to you and yours! ~Amanda
