His First Breath Took ours Away

It's a BOY!! We gladly welcomed Stephen "Parker" Brosseau into the world on February 15, 2010 at 1:41am four weeks early. He weighed 6lbs 4oz, was 19 inches long and was perfect from head to toe! We are so in love and I can't imagine what life was ever like without him!! Thank you Lord for blessing us with this precious new little baby boy as we are still in awe of your perfect miracles. Parker is so sweet and looks of course identical to his big brother Philip at this age. He is named after my wonderful daddy Stephen and will always have a special bond with his Papa Doc for sure! Now we have TWO boys under the age of TWO... watch out world, here we come!

Hello Charlotte... leaving the hospital

I love you "Carker" as Philip calls him

Meeting his new brother for the first time

Happy Valentine's Day

Philip had a perfect Valentine's Day this year which started off with breakfast consisting of an OREO cupcake from his Gigi and Papa Doc ("CAKE" as he kept cheering when we gave it to him) along with his favorite m&m's sent all the way from Texas from his Mimi and Grande (it was a nutritional meal for sure... I mean they are all made with eggs, right?!). His day was then followed by sledding in the snow for the first time ever which he absolutely LOVED (he cackled the whole way down the driveway and kept saying "more, more, more"), opening Dr Seuss books galore from his Gigi and Papa Doc (or otherwise known as "Ga Ga Doc" as he calls him these days which sounds more and more like "Lady Ga Ga" everyday) and Mommy and Daddy along with his very own new duck feet shoes! He loved getting to spend his second ever Valentines Day with all of us who love him so much! What can we say... he is a very loved little boy!! Then later that night, Philip went to bed and mommy and daddy went to the hospital as I officially was in labor. When Philip woke up the next morning... he had a new baby brother, Stephen Parker Brosseau!

Defax will be coming soon... Philip is sitting on top of Papa Doc's car covered in snow and loved every minute of it

Bye Bye Crib...

and hello big boy bed! Philip slept last night for the very first time in his new adorable Pottery Barn Kids big boy bed. We did our usual routine of getting ready for "night night" as he loves to call it. I then laid in his new bed with him and we read his favorite books. He slept all night and we never even had to go back in his room once to put him back to bed... what can I say, he loves to sleep just like his mommy!

(I promise I will post some pics of his new big boy room soon) :o)

Happy Happy Birthday Phil!!

Yesterday, January 20th, was Phil's birthday. We had a great day as a family and even got to spend time with our favorite Grande who was in town visiting for a few days... what a special treat! Phil had breakfast with his dad just the two of them (his all time favorite thing to do), then we went to a fun lunch at Big Daddy's one of our all time favorites which was then followed by dinner out with our best friends the Harrells at the Village Tavern. Philip loved getting to help his daddy open all his cards and gifts that night and especially LOVED helping him eat his chocolate birthday cake!! Philip loved the cake so much that his new favorite word now is of course "cake" and he points to it all day long until we cut him a little taste. A true son after his daddy's heart. We love you babe and are so blessed to have you in our lives! I still cant believe I am married to a 31 year old and am still in my twenties :o) XOXO
