Annabel's Arrival

Claire's First Cousin was born on October 18, 2011 at 7:30 am! We were all so excited

Miss Annabel Ruth Richardson entered the world!!! Here are just a few of my favorites...pictures and my favorite two little girls...from the first couple days of Annabel's little life!!!

First of many "matching" outfits I am sure!

Both of October babies share the birthday with so many of our family members...but everyone has their own day!!!

I am an Auntie!!!!

CC gave Annabel all of her pacis...as you all know this is her most prized possession, she this just goes to show how much she already loves her little cousin!

...and then CC wanted to share her stickers too...so guess who got stickers! Silly girl!

More lovin!!!

Meeting Annabel for the very first time!!!

Helping Emme opened Annabel's present....pacis!

I just love this one too....I know this was Annabel's big day but I can get a little carried away of taking pics of CC....

Petting Annabel

CC wanted to be closer...

Holding Annabel for the first time...look at that smile!

CC's most favorite thing is books!!! So when a gift basket for Annabel arrived containing books guess who decided she needed to read them...out loud to the whole room...priceless in my book!

First Field Trips

Claire went on her first field trips recently....the very first to the county fair and the second to the fire station!!! She loved every minute!! The class rode the church van "school bus" to the fair and she is still talking about. They walked to the fire station....one of the great things about living in a small town!
