The Parnell Family: Birthday Girl Myrt!

4.05.2009

Birthday Girl Myrt!

To finish off our fun day Saturday (and continue to pattern of over-eating!), I took the kids to Myrt's 1st birthday party! I honestly can't believe she is one today. I remember meeting her in the hospital for the first time like it was yesterday. She is absolutely precious, and has grown into quite the little lady!

How cute is she?? As usual, we had a blast catching up with the Mills and England families, and also enjoyed meeting Myrt's BFF from school, Anjali, and her parents. It was a fun afternoon! We were happy that David was able to make it in time to see Myrt eat her birthday cake. Sadly, they lost in the quarterfinals, but on a happy note that meant he got to come to the party!

Elise being silly for the camera! (I think I over did it a little on pics Saturday!)

Lila PUMPED about some cake. The girl really loves food. :)

To finish off our weekend we were excited to spend some time with Uncle Jared and Aunt Erinn (Elise loves saying that) and got to see pics and hear about their honeymoon to Cabo...

It was a nice Sunday afternoon!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as well!

Goodnight!

Elise

Elise Laurent was born at 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2005. We did not find out her sex during my pregnancy and we were thrilled to tears (and slightly shocked) to meet our beautiful baby girl. She was a big baby at 8lbs, 8oz, and David and I couldn't take our eyes off of her. Elise is an old French name that David and I have always loved. Laurent is both my paternal Grandfather's name and my Dad's middle name. We always dreamed of having a daughter and were so thankful and overwhelmed to be given such a blessing.
Elise is a true first born. She likes structure, likes to fully understand everything, likes her questions answered to her satisfaction. She loves to be challenged and to challenge. She is also highly sensitive and independent.
She is a wonderful big sister to Lila and Bennett....

Lila and Bennett

It would be an understatement to say that we were shocked to learn on November 11, 2006 that we were not expecting baby #2, but baby #2 and #3!! In just shy of two years we would have created quite a family!
But, on June 1st, 2007, at 36 weeks exactly, we were thrilled and completely overcome with joy and gratitude as we welcomed two big, healthy babies into our family. First, Lila Sue, named after my Mom at 7lbs 0.6oz, and secondly, Bennett Raymond, named after David, David's Dad, and my maternal Grandfather, at 7lbs 10.4oz.
Lila has been the vocal one from the start and to this day is still pretty much running the show. She is the life of the party, the entertainer. But she is also the most compassionate, most giving of our children.
Bennett is a true boy. He is active and rough and loves to tackle and throw. He also adores his sisters and his Dad and gives the best hugs around. His big baby blues get me every time.
