This seemed inevitable. I guess that's why I'm doing it.

Father's Day
For Father's Day this year, we spent a quiet day just spending quality time as a family. We went to eat in the afternoon and, despite the excruciating humidity, made a stop over at the park for a while.
With the attractive playground equipment, Alyse experienced a bit of sensory overload which manifested itself in a sort of adamant protest when we decided to leave.
Arguably, Alex's time was better spent napping:
Alexa has matured to a stage, however, where she is actually awake more often than she is asleep! Fortunately, for the most part, she is still a very content infant. She cries when she is hungry, and cries if she wakes up and no one is holding her.
All in all, the girls are absolutely loving their mom being home with them all day (even though Alex can't appreciate that concept like Alyse can!).

Alex's First Video!
After being peppered by several requests to show Alexa in video form, especially after a particularly nasty one that took on the form of a veiled threat, I decided to lazily compile this montage of Alex at 4 days old.
At the first, I tell Alexa that she is so pretty; immediately the clip cuts and Alyse may be heard mumbling in the background to which I reply, "Not you, Alyse." Just for clarification's sake, this was not a response to the "so pretty comment," but rather something entirely different.

Alexa Lylith Allen
Alexa Lylith Allen was born at 3:03 pm at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, TX on Saturday, June 2, 2007. As the "pushing" phase only lasted about 10 minutes, Charlotte and I were dually surprised when Alex registered a whopping 9 lbs. 8 oz. on the scale! (She was 20 inches long.)
We're infinitely blessed to have had another incident free delivery, not to mention a second perfectly healthy and beautiful baby girl!
Many more pictures to follow, but be sure to visit the Flickr! photoset from her birth.
