Three years old! Happy Birthday Darlings!

Overwhelmed...... if I had to sum up the last three years of life with Claire and Lucy in one word, it would have to be, "Overwhelmed".  For the first six weeks of your lives, it was a complete and perpetual state of being overwhelmed, overwhelmed with diapers, feeding schedules and sleepless nights.  This moved into putting the house in lockdown to baby proof for twins.  Now, it is trying to wrap our brains around potty training two at once (still unsuccessful, by the way).  But when I step back for a few moments and think about life these days, it is an overwhelmed state encompassing so much more.  How did these little beings that dropped into our lives completely steal our hearts?  How is it that three years ago, you were completely helpless and, today, you can walk, talk, dance, sing, laugh, run and play?  Being a part of your growth is an amazing adventure.  When I think about how far you've come already, I get so excited at the journey that is yet to come. When I try to put into words how much you mean to me on your third birthday, I can't think of anything except "overwhelmed".... it's impossible to put into words what it does to me to hear you, Claire, sing youself to sleep at night or to watch, you, Lucy, absolutely melt into laughter and giggles when daddy tickles you.  Yes, at times life is overwhelming but every moment is worth it because the love that I feel for my girls is completely over the moon. 

The girls on the steps of the Golden Dome.... third year, third step!

Six Months of Georgie

I can't believe our little man is six months old!  George is such a ray of sunshine in our lives.  He loves life, loves his sisters and smiles, laughs and even waves hello to everyone.  I can't imagine our lives without this guy.  We love you George!

Ready to Roll

"Ready to Roll"- A contingency for which I did not plan when I got the walker out of storage...... George being pushed around by his big sisters. Lucy says, "Claire, you ready to roll?"...... yikes!

Zippety-Do-Da

Just another Zippety-do-da-dinner at the McNally house.  Claire and Lucy were practicing their songs for the preschool program and George was getting the BIGGEST kick out of it.  It is hard to hear his belly laughs over the singing but he sure does love his big sisters!

Happy Easter~

We had a wonderful Easter week with our families.  It started out with brunch and an egg hunt at Grami Tami's and ended with dinner and an egg hunt at Grandma and Grandad's.

Can you believe he is two weeks old already!?

Pondering life, at such an early age

I make this elf suit look GOOD!

The Papparazzi flashes made him cross his eyes.

Happy Two-Week Birthday to George! 

Welcome to the world George Stephen!

We welcomed George Stephen McNally into our family on December 14, 2011 at 7:49 AM.  He weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces and was 21 inches long.  He is a doll baby, a great sleeper and such a joyful addition to our family.  The girls are adjusting fairly well and are very interested in their baby brother.  We couldn't have been given a better Christmas present.  We love you George!
