Summer is over....Bummer

Hi Everyone! I know that over the summer I took a long break and have not blogged in a very long time. I am alive and wanted to let you all know what has been happening.

First... Emma is the light of my world. I am so sad to have returned to work and be away from her all day long. I know that she is in great hands with Robert, but she has become a HUGE daddy's girl since I've been away. I miss our long mornings and snuggle times, but look forward to three o'clock when I get to see her shinning face smile back at me!

Secondly... we have had a busy summer! We recently went on a trip to Portland and Seattle where we hit a major heat wave and had weather in the mid 90s everyday! We explored and Robert drank at almost every brewery we could find! We had a great time! Why am I not drinking?

Well... surprise, surprise, Robert did it again and I am expecting our second little person in February! It was a huge shock to all of us and although I am excited, I am very nervous about having two so close together. We will find out what we are having by the end of September, so keep praying for Robert's sake that he gets his boy!

Lastly... Emma is turning ONE this Sunday and I will defiantly post pics of her birthday party for all to see! We are having a Princess party for our Princess! We are so amazed how time has flown and cannot wait for Emma to start taking her first steps. She is so close to walking, but hasn't gotten it just yet... although she really wants to!

We are so thankful and blessed to share our summer news with you all and hope that we hear back about how things are going with you. I'll post some pics of Emma and the family later, but wanted to keep everyone in the loop! I'll write again after I crash from Emma's party!

My toes in the water, toes in the sand!

We finnaly had a day without rain and nice sunny weather to go down to the beach and let Emma experience this great place we live and put her toes in the sand. She had a great time hanging out with Nick and Mel and her Poo Pa (grandpa). She wanted to eat more sand than anything but we have some great pics of this memorable experience! We loved it and hope you do too!

Emma's first food!

We began this a couple weeks ago but thought that I might share Emma's first meal with you, sweet potatoes. She really took to eating well and now cannot get enough! She is our happy little eater that grows a little more each day, but still on the shorter side. At 14 lbs 2 oz. she is our little bean. We do not think that Emma will ever be a giant, and we like that she is short and sweet. The best things DO come in small packages. Enjoy her first meal, she did!

PS. Fed with a silver spoon of course!

Funny videos of Emma

I thought that I would include some great videos of Emma laughing, snoring, talking, and rolling over! Enjoy!
