The Parnell Family: Another Fun Friday

Another Fun Friday

We pretty much took over the entire indoor playground last Friday, and we had a blast! I am so thankful for this place! It is such a great escape, and the kids can go wild! Best part is that when you get home they are exhausted, and your house isn't destroyed! Too bad it isn't free, or we would go every day!!
I was so excited that we had such a big group of new, old, and out of town friends meet us! It was so much fun...

Look how big Mary Miller is getting...

Ella and Elise enjoying the bubbles...

Lila climbing over the rainbow...

Mary Miller is also a dancing machine!

Cute little Jack had lots of fun! (Isn't his hair the cutest?!)

How sweet! Elise taking Lila to see the bubbles...

Cutie-pie Jane having some fun!

Bennett was practicing his walking alot Friday!

Camille- she wins the "most laid back baby ever" award...so sweet!

I am sad I didn't get a picture of Pace- I met his Mom, Kristen, through the multiples group (She has Pace (2) and Annie Kate and Kole (9 weeks)- so we have ALOT in common!) and we were so glad they came as well! It was a fun day!

David will be posting soon...He and Elise had a very special "date" this weekend and he can't wait to share!

Goodnight!
Love, Nicole

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.
