The Parnell Family: two saints

two saints

The post title makes me laugh! Pretty far from the truth! HA!

Monique gave G the new Drew Brees book for Father's Day and Drew was in town today doing a book signing...My Mom thought it would be fun to take L & B with them (Elise was at a birthday party with David) to see if they could meet him and maybe take a pic....so, I got my little Saints all decked out and ready to go....

Sadly, the line was OUTSIDE (I think it was 115 degrees today- seriously)...and totally wrapped around the shopping center...so they waited for a short bit and then scrapped the idea in favor of going to get sno-balls......I don't blame them!!

Now, if I can just figure out how to get the red snoball out of Bennett's Saint's shirt! :)

Hope ya'll are enjoying your weekends!

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.
