July Roundup

July was a very busy month for us. Here is a hodgepodge of pictures from the rest of the month.

We went to listen to Noah's homecoming talk where Mila got to meet some more cousins and her great-grandpa.



 We visited the Norwalk crowd. Grandma McEldowney is holding Mila here.
 We attended the Stake Pioneer Day activity and the girls got their faces painted.

Sleeping Beauty

Mila's so little, she can already roll over. Look at the little poser!

Mila's First Big Girl Bath

She's so tiny!
 Big yawn!


 All squeaky clean in Daddy's hands.
 Snuggle time with Lacy.


 I think Mila's getting hungry.

Noah's Home!!

Uncle Noah returned from his 2 year mission to Seoul, Korea. The girls and I made posters for the airport. Cliff and I taught Wes how to act appropriately at the airport. (Click on the video below.)


I am so very proud of my brother. What a great example he is to me and my kids! Mila was too new to take to the airport (especially the international terminal), so I stayed at my parents house with her while everyone else went to pick him up at LAX.








 Here he is at home meeting his newest niece!
 Wes was only a month old when Noah left--but I think he still thinks he's pretty cool.

Bringing her Home





For Fun...

My babies are all cut from the same mold. I pulled these pictures up of each baby only a day old. Can you guess who's who?

Introducing Mila Jeannine


Mila Jeannine (named for my Granny Jeanne) joined our family at 8:41AM on July 3, 2010. She was 5lbs 8oz and 18.5inches--my tiniest baby yet! Mila was my best labor and delivery thanks to my first EVER successful epidural. (Yay!!)

On July 2nd, I labored all day long while attending the funeral of my late Granny. She was a very special lady and I miss her SO much. I was so sad that Granny wasn't able to see Mila here on earth. Granny passed 6 short days before Mila was born. I felt comforted in knowing that they were in heaven together for that one short week--and I believe that Mila came to me when she did (3 weeks early) to help fill the hole in my heart from the loss of my Granny.

Mila is a sweet baby. I can already tell that she has a feisty little personality. Thankfully, her sisters and brother are thrilled that she's here--no jealous siblings! Cliff, as always, is a fantastic husband and father--helping me through my labor/delivery and taking care of everybody else so I can rest. My parents and sister were conveniently in town for the funeral and were able to take the kids for the weekend so we could get settled at home. Thank you to all our friends and family for all of your love and support!
 
Here are some pictures from the hospital.
