Here's a pic that I just couldn't resist posting. Brooke was taking a nap on Nana's arms this morning and looking quite peaceful and beautiful. It is a good thing the girls get their looks from their mommy!

Daddy took a few pictures of us with Nana before she headed back to Missouri. We're going to miss having grandparents around the house!

Their expressions show how much fun they have together. Meg is already missing both Nana (Daddy's Mom) and Grandma (Mommy's Mom), who have both been in town to help Mommy after Brooke was born.

Nana had to leave today to head back to Missouri, but before she did, Meg got some good reading time in.

Here are a few more pictures from the park, which is arguably Meg's favorite place in the world.

Nana, Mommy, Megan & Brooke posed for a picture at the park the other day.

Nana is having a blast with the girls, and they're enjoying her, too. The look on her face sum's up everyone's feelings. We'll be sad to see her leave today, but will look forward to our trip to see her and Papa in September.

Meg kept us entertained for awhile last night acting as the "Phantom of the Living Room." She enjoys playing peek-a-boo with the blankets, and took it to a whole new level. We were laughing at her quite a bit and thought that you might enjoy this clip.

I heard Megan giggling quite a bit the other day and I walked into the kitchen to find her Pooh stuffed into the vacuum. We'd taken the canister out to clean it and Meg thought it would be a great place to put Pooh to take a load off his feet.

Nana (Daddy's mom) is visiting for a few days and lovin' the time she's able to spend with both the girls.

Meg loves to wear hats, especially one of Daddy's. She grabbed my Notre Dame hat and wore it for quite awhile as she was playing. This post is dedicated to Richard Stomps.

Shortly before leaving to head home, Grandma took Meg to the park. Meg loves the park and loves Grandma, so what could be better than combining the two?

Sunday was a beautiful morning, which provided a nice backdrop for a family pictures outside our home before going to church. Here are two where Meg was looking at the camera (somewhat, anyway).

Megan and Brooke wore matching dresses for Brooke's first trip to church. This was also the first time that Meg has wanted to "hold" Brooke. She was very quick to point out that Brook has eyes ("no, don't poke her eyes, Meg!"), a nose, ears, hair and

It's no surprise that the two girls favor each other quite a bit. The girls are both a week old in the pictures. Meg is on the left, and Brooke is on the right. You be the judge ... do you think they look alike?

Here's a pic of Brooke in her car seat while the rest of us were getting a bight of ice cream from Bruster's. She doesn't know what she's missing out on ... yet. Her sister, Meg, however, can spot Bruster's from a mile away. If you go anywhere near there,

Meg is pretty fascinated with hats, and always enjoys playing with them, should I leave one lying around. Last night she found the one I took off while eating dinner and had a great time playing with it. She also found a pair of Mommy's tennis shoes,

Ever since Audrey bought this little "pool" for Megan, she is constantly asking "Water, Please." She really enjoys it, and I'm pretty sure that Meg has already gotten $8 worth (the high cost of this "pool") of enjoyment from the pool. I'm sure we'll be

Grandma is having a blast with the girls, and it is safe to say, that they are enjoying her, too. What will Meg do without taking a walk in the neighborhood 3 times each day?

Brooke enjoyed some cuddle time outside with Mommy while Meg played in her pool. She couldn't be any more relaxed.

Today was our "coming home" day. Both Mommy & Brooke are in great shape and were sent home with no concerns. Meg & Brooke's Grandma arrived this evening. She'll be here about 8 days to help Mommy recover from the surgery and get used to having

Meg met Brooke for the first time today. It will be fun to watch them become best of friends (hopefully) through the years. We also gave Meg her own baby doll, which she seemed to really like.

To give you a little better feel for Brooke's first day, we've posted a gallery of images. Mom and Baby continue to do well. Megan was not real fond of Brooke at first, but she started warming up to her without too much problem. Click HERE to view the

My favorite picture of Brooke so far, one I took after getting back to our room while waiting on Audrey to get out of surgery.

Here's the first mother-daughter picture. Audrey is doing well and recovering very well from the operation.

Brooke Elizabeth Gillen was born at 9:27 am today. She weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and was 22 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing great. We're so glad to welcome her into our family (finally!). ;)

Meg enjoys the water and playing outside. What could be any better than combining the two events. She seems to really enjoy the new kiddie pool that Mommy bought for her.

We had a great Independence day! We were able to go to the park for awhile in the morning, had a restful afternoon, and then we had a cookout with some friends. It was a day of great family time as we wait for the arrival of Megan's sister. We're looking
