Sisters

I had to post these 2 pictures to show how much my 2 girls looked a like at birth.

Kaitlyn

Serina

The biggest difference between them is that Serina has more hair then Kaitlyn did.

Serina Haley has arrived!

Well, our newest member of our family has finally made her arrival. Serina Haley Forbes was born on July 27th, 2009 at 12:27am. She weighed 6 lbs 1 oz. A lot like her sister she didn't take to the contractions well. Pretty much as soon as they hooked me up to the monitors they noticed that her heart rate was dropping too low for their liking. They watched that very closely and my Doctor even started making arrangements for a section because he thought that was what was going to happen. He decided to break my water to see if that would help and in 6 minutes I went from 5 to 10 cm and she was out. It all happened so fast. The first thing that Todd and I said was how much she looks like Kaitlyn. It isn't going to be hard to tell that they are sisters.

Kaitlyn and Serina meeting for the first time.

Such a proud Big Sister. She sure loves Serina.

Proud Daddy...

Look at all that wild hair.

Renos Update

The floor and the trim has finally been put into place and I love the result. It's hard to believe how a little facelift can make a space look so much better. Todd and Dale really did a great job with the renovations and should be really proud. Everytime I look at it and see how nice it looks I then don't want to look at the rest of the basement. LOL. Someday we will get the the rest.

I think this section is my favorite transformation. It was so ugly before.

The only thing left is to put up the ceramic tile backsplash around the counter top.
