And of course the newest tutu look with our pink skates!!

We have had quite the busy March! We have been repaid for all the snow with a lot of beautiful days! We have been able to go outside a lot and have spent many days at the park with Gamma, Maddy, Beckett, Connor and Emily. Daddy even had one morning to spend with us that we got all dressed up in our UK finest and hit the park!!

Meeting Macon!!

Macon Leo Workman

Welcoming baby Macon home!!

The meeting

The weigh in

Macon Leo Workman was born on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010. It was the exact opposite labor and delivery that I had with Molly. I woke up on Saturday morning, took a shower, did my hair and nails and then was having mild/medium contractions and decided to call the Dr. to see if I should come in. I wasn't sure they would want me but being 41+++ weeks decided it was worth it to mosey down to the hospital. My water broke shortly after getting to triage and due to how fast things were happening and availability of labor and delivery rooms they actually set up for a delivery right there.. fortunately for all, a room became open and about 20minutes later Macon was born!!

He was born at 12:38pm weighing 8lbs 1oz and measuring 20 3/4in.

He reminds my mom a lot of me. He is a very quite and if he didn't sleep in our room I don't think that we would hear him!

Molly has been wonderful with him. She welcomed him into the house bringing her favorite toys to show him and wanting him to watch her movies with him. She got up our first morning home and couldn't wait to find Macon and make sure he was ok.

December 09

Playing in the snow!!

Love my Puddles!!

Love my cousins!!

The Workman's in front of the Christmas tree at PPG Place.

What a great December!! Lots of action going on of course! We spent a wonderful weekend with the Hortons. They were so great to come visit since we weren't sure if we would make it down to visit over Christmas! Molly just loves her cousins!! We spent time swimming, visiting the Santas downtown and the real guy down town. Of course Molly was too scared to sit on Santas lap but Rickey and Emilee got the chance to share what they were wishing for! We had a mini Christmas with them before they headed back to VA! Such a fun visit!!!

Christmas was so much fun this year. Mollly spend every morning leading up to the big day looking for "Sprinkles" our elf. What a fun family tradition!! Christmas Eve was a super fun time with chocoloate fondue and going to church. Molly loved the candlelight part and was testing the flame like any 2 year old would do!! She would blow ever so lightly to watch it flicker and then look to see how closely I was watching!!

Christmas morning was super fun! Santa brought her books and a wagon. She loved playing with them all! Then over to GP and Gamma's for more fun! We really had to practice waiting our turn and realizing that not everything was for us. By the end we had gotten the hang of it. It was such a fun time. She got many great gifts and her favorite were for sure her new dog "Puddles", she just loves toting him around in his bag, the tent and tunnels, and a Woody doll!

What a wonderful Christmas and can't immagine what it will be like next year with baby W and MacKenzie!!!! :)

A Workman/Siegele Family tradition

Checkin out the "tipustree" with Gram.

Siegele Girls!!

Loving the photo shoot!!

Molly liked this Santa the best!

Checking out the gingerbread houses and trains with daddy!

I love when he tickles me... I even ask for more!

Let's dive into my first Primanti's sandwich!

She gets her big mouth from her dad!

Macy's windows!

So for years the Siegeles have been going downtown to the PPG building at looking at the Santas from all around the world. Molly has done it every year of her life. We have also started including a trip to Macy's to look at the windows and see Santa.

Molly loved the windows but was not a fan of Santa. She would not even sit on his lap or look at him. She was wrapped up around Aaron's neck and not thinking too highly of this man dressed all in red. Although we was a great Santa!! He tried to coax her down with talk of Elmo, Woody and Buzz but the look on her face was priceless!! She was all "no way you crazy man!"

On our way back to PPG Place we had to make a dinner stop and nothing says Pittsburgh better than Primanti Bro's. We ordered the chicken fingers for her but as the pictures show, once she was offered the traditional sandwich there was no turning back!! She loved it!

Then it was on to the skating rink and photos with the Santas.

We are eagarly looking forward to a fun weekend with the Hortons!!

Swimming at Pitt!

Swimming with Mara

And Mac!

Check out my back float!

Daddy is the best!

So in November the Pitt kids hosted a free swim lesson to encourage and promote the sport of swimming within the staff and faculty at the Univeristy. So we took Molly down and she did a great job! She does a great job floating on her back and loves to kick! She even makes me practice her breaststroke legs in the bath tub. Don't know where she gets that from??!!

Happy Halloween??!!

Getting ready to go "Trick-or-treating"!!

The "flutter-fly" as she called herself!

Carving with Daddy!

OK so I am not so good at staying current with my blog. It is mid December and I am just now doing Halloween!!! Awesome!! Molly loved her first true trick-or-treating expereince. Daddy took her out to many of our neighbors homes. We practiced before she left the house so when she got to the houses it was a little understandable that she would say trick or treat and then try to give them the candy in her pumpkin!! What a lover! Molly came home with many treats and true to being a girl loves chocolate and especially M&Ms!!!

Molly had a great time carving her pumpkin and talks about it all the time! Daddy took his carving much more seriously then I did, but to no ones surprise!! He is surely the artist in the family! He did a great job with Elmo!
