Far from Forgotten

With a new baby in the house, it might seem as if we are totally focused on little Celia and have forgotten about big sister Greer. I assure you, however, that Greer is getting plenty of attention and special surprises as she makes this transition. She has been a little (or maybe more than a little) needy the last two weeks, so we've tried to make time for some special Greer activities.



Things like....dress-up



...and pile all your friends on top of you...



and pool parties with her friends...



and princess tea parties with Daddy...

and pile-everything-onto-the-rocking-horse play time...


...and much more.




Greer has been an angel to Celia. She is really taking her big sister role seriously, and is great about touching Celia with gentle hands and giving her sweet kisses. She worries when Celia cries, and is especially interested in diaper changes. She's facinated with Celia's "bungee" (umbilical) cord, and is saying some really funny things about the differences between babies and big girls. With a birthday coming up, Greer will continue to receive special attention as she adjust to being a new big sister!

Welcome Baby Celia!

Celia June Sullins arrived Tuesday, June 14th, at 10:28 a.m. weighing 6 lbs. 10 oz. and measuring 18 3/4 inches long. We were just as surprised that she was a girl as we were that she was born with a head full of dark hair!

We are beyond thrilled with this little girl, and so thankful things went well. I had a great experience at the hospital, but am so happy to be home now. We are adjusting to life with a days-old baby and a three-year-old. It's fun but exhausting! Greer is doing well, and Celia is such a sweet baby. We feel truly blessed.

Summertime

It's hot here, and definitely feels like summertime. I know if it's this hot in the mountains, it's got to be scorching in Alabama...


We spent last Sunday afternoon at the lake trying to cool off. Greer loves the water, and we had to trick her into leaving. Hopefully, we'll get around to taking her to the beach one day.



She and Daddy built sandcastles, then she jumped on them!

She practiced her swimming a little.
As well as some jumping...

It was a nice way to cool off.
