Jane's Special Day

Jeff blessed Jane on Sept 26.

It was a beautiful day and we are so grateful for all the support we received from family and friends.

My mom made Jane's amazing dress.

I am so lucky to have a mom who is also an amazing seamstress. It means a lot to me that she made both of my girls blessing dresses and I am sure it will mean a lot to them too.

She also got Avery a pretty white dress so she would feel special too.

Avery LOVES her grandma or monkey (as she calls them)!!

Jeff gave Jane a wonderful blessing.

He is such a good dad to our girls and works so hard for us! We are so lucky to have him!

Our girls are also blessed to have lots of grandparents and all close.

Words cannot express how blessed I feel to have two healthy, happy, beautiful girls!

I know they will be the best of friends.

I feel blessed to be their mother and pray everyday that I can teach and guide them and help them reach their full potential.

I cannot end without showing you Jane's little silver bracelet, a special gift to her from her Grandma Leger and her (middle) namesake Aunt Ashleigh.

What an honor and precious precious gift!

THANK YOU!

We are so BLESSED and

so GRATEFUL!!

Janey

Seriously, could she be any cuter?

Well, the answer is... NO and she couldn't be a better baby either!!

Jane is a dream!

She is a good eater, an amazing sleeper, and is just a good natured baby!

We are so happy to have her in our family!!

A good week

We started the week off with a trip up to the South Fork area (above Pineview Dam) to have dinner and visit with my parents who were camping.

It was super fun and in true camping fashion it took Avery all of about 5 minutes to get good and dirty. SHE LOVED IT!!

One of these times we will have to stay!

Little did we know what the next day would bring...

At my regular scheduled 38 week visit to my OB on Monday morning the doctor looked at me with a big smile and said "You're a 5... you're a 6! You need to go to the hospital."

Me: "Seriously???"

doctor: "Yep!! You are having a baby today"

About 5 hours after that conversation I was holding this little bundle of joy!

Check out that DARK hair.

(Avery's was a strawberry blond at birth)

We are a happy little family of 4 now... CRAZY!!

Avery loves her sister! (most of the time;))

She loves to continually check on Jane by standing at the edge of her bed and at the top of her voice saying "SISTER, SISTER!!! HI!! HI!! HI!! HI!!"

She is SUCH a good baby and SUCH a good sleeper!

She sleeps all the time, I am amazed by it! I could NOT say the same for her older sister as a newborn!

Jeff loves his girls and is such a cute dad!

Avery and dad have been able to spend some extra one-on-one time this week and I think they are both eating it up.

Jane Ashleigh Leger

7lb 3oz

20inches long

She is SO SO sweet and we feel unbelievably blessed to have her in our family!

May and June

So it has been a while.

Avery is getting bigger and smarter everyday and I unfortunately am just getting bigger... and hotter and tired-er!!!

Avery has such a fun personality, she is SO busy and makes me laugh everyday.

She is starting to talk up a storm and repeats everything we say! She is also learning to exercise her agency- super fun!

Her favorite spot though is still on my hip... I have a feeling there is going to be a serious adjustment period when the baby gets here. eeeekkk!

Since I last updated:

she flew by herself with all 4 kids from KY to UT... brave woman!

We had a visit from my favorite sister Kathryn and her 4 children

(this is the extent of all the pictures I took while she was here in Utah AND while we were in Washington{SAD})

Yep, I said we went..err... DROVE to Washington to help Kathryn settle into their new home. It was a LONG drive (10 hours) of which Avery slept a full 45 minutes!!! URGH!!!

My parents were kind enough to let Avery and I tag along, they were very patient!

While we were vacationing in Washington, Jeff was vacationing here:

The U.S. Open at Pebble Beach

Following this guy of course!

He was accompanied by his brother Jeremy and uncles Alan and Archie.

He was in heaven!

Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed!

It was a much needed break and he deserved it! He has been working VERY hard at real estate, Leger's and as young mens president. We never see him anymore and we sure do miss him a lot!

We feel very blessed however, that he is doing so well!

Next update: baby #2 mid-August

if I have time that is:)

WE CANNOT WAIT!!

Feeling Motivated

These have been on my list of 'remodeling projects' since before we moved into our home

3 years and 3 months ago!!

It is a bit overwhelming and

I am notorious for taking FOREVER to complete a project.

But I decided I want them to be done by the time we bless our 2nd baby

SOOOO...

The projects have begun!!

STAY TUNED!!

Avery hearts:

Her DADDY!!

and her 'NUM-A-NUMS'

Anyone Seeing A Trend Here?
