Welcome to the Family Madi!

She's here! Madilyn Marie Knight was born Monday, June 14th 2010 at 9:50am. She weighed in at 8lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. She has a lot of light brown/ blonde hair, and we love her soooo much! Here are some pictures of our little Flag Day baby-

What's in a name?

Unlike when I was prego with Gabi, we are having THE HARDEST time trying to pick out a name for our soon to be new addition. As soon as we knew Gabi was a girl, we knew her name would be Gabi, and we started calling her that right away. Well, first off, I really really thought this was going to be a boy, in fact when we had the ultrasound at 22 weeks, the ultrasound tech showed us three times that it was going to be a girl because she could tell I didn't really believe her. Well, at the last ultrasound that we had, it was blatantly a girl, no doubt about it. Needless to say, we had a boy name all picked out, but we're still struggling with a girl name. We have a few ideas, but nothing solid yet. I think we're just going to have to wait and see what she looks like.

Sharon, this one's for you...

I promised my really good friend Sharon that I would post some pictures within a week of coming back from Seattle. Well, it's been a week today, so here I am posting. :) I'll start off with some ultrasound pics, so sorry it's taken so long. This pics are from our babe's most recent photo shoot, ultrasound #3, at 30 weeks and 3 days, and yes, every day does count.

Here are a few of our 4D ultrasound pictures of the babe that's currently in my belly:

This picture is a side profile of the little tyke! It's crazy that you can see so much detail. We already think she's super cute and we can't wait to meet her!



This is one of our little one grabbing her toes, already some personality!



And finally her cute little legs! She sure likes to kick!


Thanks Sharon for keeping me on the ball, someone needs to! :)

Gianni Boy!!

I know this is coming late, but I wanted to make sure that we announced the birth of our cute little nephew, Gianni. (Pronounced like Johnny)

Meet Gianni Marc Sanelli. Born Wednesday January 13th, 2010 at 10:51 p.m.

Barbies and Girls

My sister recently gave us a LOT of barbies that she had growing and didn't want anymore. Gabi has since discovered them, and she is seldom seen around without at least one in her hand, if not one in each hand. They fascinate her and she just seems to think they are the neatest thing.
I have to admit I was NOT like that growing up. I didn't play with barbies, I collected them. I didn't play "let's pretend," I groomed my barbies and displayed them. Or better yet, I never even took them out of the box. My sister on the other hand had an imagination like you couldn't believe. Her room wasn't just a room, it was a tropical jungle, a mall, or somewhere on the other side of the world. She has always been the one with creativity and imagination.
Well, as the mother of one girl who apparently LOVES barbies, which I never loved, and ANOTHER GIRL ON THE WAY. I am now faced, or should we say forced to accept barbies and play with my daughter(s).
So, yes, we are expecting baby number two! She is due to arrive June 14th, and we are very excited. Right now Gabi doesn't really know what to think about it, and/or understand what's going on, but in time I'm sure she will love to have a little friend to play with.

Welcome Emma Rae!

We are so excited for Ryan and Jennie and their new addition, little Emma Rae Horne, our brand new niece and cousin to Gabi. We haven't seen her yet, but we have seen pictures and she is ADORABLE! How couldn't she be, look at her parents! We just wanted to let Ryan and Jennie know how happy we are for them, and how much we look forward to seeing them! Here are a few pics I snagged from their blog. She was born Tuesday December 8th, 2009 at 5:06am weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 19 inches long.
