New Years Eve

Well on New years eve, B.J. and Sam came over and we played Settlers of Catan, one of my favorite games.

A smathering (is that a word) of Christmas pictures

Not sure why I cannot my pictures to go on to the page like Dawn and Susan can, you know not in a straight boring line. But oh well you get to see some pictures.

Amazing nurse Aimee

We love this girl. She is such a special part of our family. She was my nurse when I had Emma. She filled in for me at the hospital when I was on maternity leave. She is the bomb. We love you Aimee and we are so glad that you are in our lives.

She has a special place in her heart for Chris! Great picture of the two of them!

Happy New Year!

From our whole family we wish you and your family a Happy and Blessed New Year.

Homecoming

Well I can't believe it but my son went to his first homecoming. Chris is in love this lovely young woman. Her name is Lexi. And we love her too. She is a wonderful young lady and she loves our son too. Yes they are young but I can see this one going the distance. You know we all have had high school sweethearts and many of you have married your high school sweetheart. I see this happening for them. No rush. College for our son first but he is committed to love this young woman forever. He is a wonderful young man.


Aren't they lovely together. We love you Lexi! And you too Chris!

Emma's Birthday Party

Well here is an idea of what Emma's birthday was all about. She was a little princess. We actually had two birthday parties because she is so popular. One at the park on her actual birthday for her friends and some big friends as well. And on Saturday she had a brunch for all her other friends. Those people who have played such an important role in her therapy. We had such a good time at both of her parties.

At her birthday party on Saturday her daddy made her a heart cake for all her guests and one special one for her. Kevin use to make a heart cake for Samantha for her birthday. We cleared it with her first to make sure she did not mind. And as you could imagine she did not.
Her birthday party on Saturday was a toile theme. Well that was my idea. All the way down to her dress that was custom made and was a gift from her grandparents. Everything was pink. Again a requirement of mine. Love the pink.
We had to help her with the gifts. She loved playing with the paper.
This is her new face. Pursing her lips and saying "oooooooooooooo" hope that is right. Not the long or the short vowel sound . It is so cute.

I can't believe she is already one. We have such a great time with this sweet little baby and I sure look forward to the next year with all its changes and growth. She is amazing!
