Congratulations!

They're both so cute

I like Claire best though, then Abigail, then Fiona.

Thanks for the wishes, everyone. I haven't been able to get on much since, so I'm trying to catch up. If I've missed any important threads, sorry 'bout that. Not trying to be self-centred here!

Well, as for the name...yes, she finally got an official name on Sunday. It is...

Madeline Clare. Then, when Mrs. Schwinn said "Maddy Clare", I realized that it sounds like an angry doughnut (say it out loud, you'll get it).

Gracie is still loving "baby". She keeps telling us, "I have to give Baby a kiss!" So far, all is going well with "big sister". I took her to the zoo today, and her first words in the house were, "Where's baby?"

Thanks again, guys! Seems like it was just yesterday I was sharing the news of Gracie yesterday!

Madeline Clare is a great name

angry doughnut - too funny

So cute Gracie loves her lil sis, she'll have so much fun when they can play together - then you need to watch out

Nice name Schwinn! and nice quip on the name as well.


In French, eclaire also means lightening...which may be useful when she starts to run

Best!

Schwinn, both your girls are beautiful. I hope Mrs. Schwinn is feeling well and getting her rest. It's so much fun adding to the family isn't it?? Keep us posted with updates. There's nothing I love more than good news, and good news that involves babies---well life doesn't get any better than that !

I missed the post about the baby's name. I love it ! Both names are beautiful and they go very well together--as long as Daddy isn't being a smarty pants about it.

I hope that Madeline is being an and letting everyone catch up on their and that everyone is on and enjoying all the .

Thanks, everyone. My little Angry Doughnut is doing well. We aren't getting much sleep, but it's getting better. Maddy's moved into her own room, now that Nana's gone home, and I'm getting back to the gym (must..frighten...boys!!) Gracie's still loving her, and has stopped calling her "Grover", though she still calls her Baby. We have to remind both her and Daisy to be gentle with the kisses!

This is my favourite picture so far. I've been trying to play around with getting the lighting right, and I think it worked with this one. Mind you, I was using the lens cap in front of the flash, so if anyone knows a better way...

This is a beautiful picture Schwinn

My advice - keep the flash OFF as much as possible. Move her cradle, car seat etc. right near the window when the sun is not blazing in. Cameras like just a bit of contrast so look for soft diffused light.
Diffused light is a photographer's dream and window light rocks!

Congrats again on your sweet doughnut.....mmmmmdoughnuts.

best!

Marko

I just found out I can turn down the flash...that seems to work really well...she doesn't squint as much!

If I can get permission from Mrs. Schwinn, I'll post the new one when we get it downloaded.

At the risk of threadjacking, I'm so there with you Ashley. I'm 36 and have been trying for a year!!! The alarms are going off rather loudly and distractingly now!!

Whatsher Face Schwinn is lovely. I don't see any reason to have changed it at all. That said, I think Happy Doughnut will work quite nicely. My mom went by Happy Rodent for years...
