Ok, so for our five year anniversary, Brian and I got matching tattoos. Brian had been talking about getting a tattoo since we had Piper, but the whole deathly afraid of needle thing got in the way. In planning the festivities for out anniversary, I mentioned getting tattoos and he actually agreed! We initially were planning on getting the girls names as well, but last minute decided against it. We chose a darling little bird with a daisy on it's head. A bird for our spunky girl Piper and a daisy for our sweet little Maysie. Brian did great, only almost losing consciousness once. No, really he did amazing. I think the giant glass of OJ and the cupcake helped tremendously. He even mentioned maybe getting another one some day!

Happy Birthday Brian!
This picture was taken on our honeymoon. One of our stops was at Wrigley Field in Chicago for a Cubs game. Brian is turing 33 tomorrow! We have quite a few fun things planned, including cupcakes from a cool little cupcake only bakery I found in our neighborhood. Piper has been saying Happy Birthday Grampy since we celebrated Grampy's birthday a couple weeks ago. She is pretty good with the song, but once we have to switch the names, she get's a bit confused! :) Happy Birthday Ploops!

Time goes by too quick!
This Saturday is Brian's 33rd birthday and our 5 year Anniversary! Who would have thought on our wedding day that 5 years later we would have 2 GIRLS! Yikes! What an amazing life we have. I am so grateful that I am on this journey with my best friend! We have a fun (although there is a little pain involved):) day planned on Saturday!

Doctor Visit today!

Trips to the doctor don't happen too much, but when they do, they usually involve a shot or two for Piper. This was her 2 year check up, and she is doing pretty darn good! She is 26.6 pounds and 2 feet 10 inches long. She got one shot and had to get some blood drawn. What a brave little one she was. I told her that she ws braver than her daddy would have been. :)
She ended up with 2 new bandaids (her new favorite thing) and a Scooby Doo sticker, which made her forget about the boo boo's.

Henderson Family conquers Disney
Yea! We survived our first trip to Disney, as parents anyway. What an adventure. Piper had a blast, but was a wee bit overwhelmed. Actually, I was a bit overwhelmed at times. She refused to ride on Dumbo, which was a favorite of both Brian and mine. Maybe next time..........
We ate tons and bought tons. My favorite was the mickey mouse ears with our names on the back. I am such a child. You only live once though, and only have one first trip to Disney. We can't wait for the second! See you around Mickey!

No surgery for Miss Piper
After tons of thought.......we have decided to cancel Piper's eye surgery. She was scheduled to have surgery to open up her blocked tear duct in 2 weeks and I couldn't get past the fact they had to give her general anesthesia! Her eye seems to be ok, so for us the risks weren't worth it. Hope she agrees! Boy, it's tough being a mom.

And the little lady rolled over!
Maysie is such a sweet pea. I cannot get enough of her. She has the most infectious smile. Piper loves to rub her head and rock her to sleep. Yesterday she rolled over for the first time. She had been so intent on sleeping on her side and tummy and she can now do it on her own. The doctors always said that babies should sleep on their backs, but Miss Maysie is like her dad.....a tummy sleeper. I should have known this since everytime I put her on her tummy for tummy time, she would just fall asleep. She can't lift her head too high, but she can roll over. My sweet little Maysie.
