Sleepy Head

The Hillenbrand house has been busy, busy, busy, getting ready for the arrival of our Lil Emory Shae. From painting rooms to hanging curtains we are checking items off our list everyday. One of the BIG projects was transitioning Ansel (aka Bubba, Buster, Bubs, Baby, Sweet Boy) into his new "Big Boy" Bed. We read and prayed and prepared for the "right time"...but this little guy just rolled with the punches. He LOVES his bed and went right to sleep the very first night. The video below is the first morning waking up in his new bed. He is just too cute!!!

Mimi & Papa come to visit

I am running about a month behind on this post...so I apologize. Mimi & Papa (Alison's parents) came to visit for Easter week in April. It was a week filled with fun, hugs, kisses, and lots of spoiling.
