Daddy's Girl

Jason and I are now parents to not one but 2! beautiful little girls.  Scout couldn't be doing any better-she wakes up to breast feed, which I absolutely LOVE, she sleeps, she poo's, and pee's.  When she does open up her precious eyes to check out her new world, she is so curious, pleasant and sweet.  We feel so blessed with our new little girl.   Lucia and Scout cuddle with me every morning in bed and throughout the day they lay beside each other and I marvel at the picture of my two baby girls, sisters.  I am truly loving being a mom to these two little girls.  

Jason was always excited to be a father, and never hesitant to bring another addition into our family.  He would say 'this will be the best gift for Lucia'.  He is and was right and he no doubt is a wonderful father to both Lucia and now Scout.  However, since having Scout, I have seen a love and bond grow stronger, between he and his little Lu.  Lucia is a daddy's girl.  A Father daughter love is so special and seeing Jason and Lu interact is something I could watch and I will watch for the rest of my life.  

He would take Lubird to the moon and back if he was able, and he will search for HER trip to the moon for as long as it takes.  He just today suggested taking Lucia to Elitch Gardens amusement park this summer.  He will do absolutely anything and everything to make her life the best it can be, whatever it takes.  She brings the best light out in Jason and when they are together their love shines bright.  He knows what her little cries mean-hungry, tired, not comfortable, not happy, and sometimes it's just that she needs to be in her daddy's lap.  He tells her at least once a day, 'you're cute, you're smart, you're funny, and that is why you're the most popular girl in school.'  Rather than choosing to go out with his buddies he often chooses to have a date with Lu at home or going to a restaurant.  When it's a nice day, he loves to take her out to the back yard and sit and play with her on a blanket.  As I sit here and type I look over and see his hand gently placed on her hip, as they sleep side by side. I know in 10, 20, and even 30 years I will see the same thing, over and over again.   He loves her and she loves him.  Lubird could not have chosen a better father to watch over her, to comfort her, to protect her, and to take her on her 'trips to the moon'.  Jason, Happy fathers day to the BEST daddy Lucia could ever ask for.  I too,  know that Jason being Lucia's daddy was absolutely God's plan. 

And little Scout, in time you will see how truly special your daddy is to both you and your sister Lu. 

Happy Father's Day Jason.  

Love, 

Your lucky ladies, 

Jules, Lubird, and baby Scout

She's here!!!

On June 4th, 2013 at 4:51am we welcomed a new little girl into the world.

Scout Lumiere (pronounced Lu-me-air) in honor of her sister Lu, her grandmother Linda, and Lumiere which is French for light, Dawkins.  

7lbs 9oz 19" long

We are a full family! More love, more light, more of everything good. 

Thank you God for our two beautiful girls!

Curly Lu!

We have filled our last couple weeks with appointments, run errands, stocked up on groceries, been able to attend birthday and bbq parties that we didn't think we would be able to attend... and today we had a spa day...I can say we are SO READY for Lu's sister to arrive!!!!
The 'Spa Day' was FABULOUS.   I booked a last minute facial, due to no baby, mom here to watch Lubird, and Jason had birthday gifted me the gift card last week.  It was so relaxing and nice.  I asked the aesthetician to pay particular attention to my feet at the end of the treatment, as they say there are pressure points that can induce labor and IT'S TIME for that!
But the the most fun about the 'Spa Day' was Lucia's First Haircut!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom and I met at a Little B's kids salon (voted Denver's best kids salon!-had to do it) and were tickled pink to watch our Little Lu get all trimmed and beautified up!!!!
We brought in her orange seat and put it on the salon chair and snapped pictures like the paparazzi!
Lu smiled and played her drums as Chantelle the hairstylist magically brushed, trimmed, and styled Lu's hair.  Prior to this cut, the front of Lucia's hair looked pretty cute, but in the back, well...she looked a bit 'rasta' aka she had little dreadlocks forming on a daily basis...cute yes, well maybe-but a bit out of control!
Chantelle brought back her natural curls and the end product a Beautiful Curly Lu!  Jason even just mentioned that she looks a bit like Meg Ryan!  I agree!
Who would have thought a little professional haircut could be SO FUN!!!???  Seriously was AWESOME!

SPA DAY- CHECK!!!
It's REALLY time to have our BABY!

Lucia would like to say thank you to Isabella Turner for the beautiful monogrammed shirt.  And we are praying for another friend, Isabella DeSantis for her big surgery tomorrow.  We love you girls SO MUCH!
