Merry Christmas

Our Christmas morning has just begun.  Emma has been awake and Evy is still sleeping.  To pass the time, Emma used our camera to video the start of our morning.  Merry Christmas!

1st Place!

Kelley took 1st place in her age group at a 5K run this morning.

Evelyn's Birthday Party

Evelyn had a great time with her cousins during her birthday party. 

Good Times

Preparing for Evelyn's birthday, we are going through some photos of her through the last year.  It brings up a lot of good memories.  Like the time we went hiking.

Evyelyn is Turning One

Hard to believe that Evelyn is about to turn out.  Looking forward to seeing the family at her birthday party.

She's catching on

Kelley and I practice what most parents do when they want to talk without the kids understanding...by spelling out key words of a sentence. This drives Emma nuts because she can't follow our conversation. That has just changed this morning. As Kelley and I were planning our afternoon, I said we could stop somewhere and let Emma look at things she would like for her X.M.A.S. L.I.S.T. Emma then looked at me after I spelled those words and I expected her to ask what we were talking about. I said to Emma, "You probably want to know what I just said." Emma then said, "You said Christmas List."

I lose.

The Loot

Emma and Noni are sorting and recording Emma's trick or treat loot.

Trick or Treaters

Emma is going out trick or treating when Evelyn wakes up. In the meantime, Emma is waiting by the door giving out treats.

Happy Halloween

We are at Boo at the Zoo. Emma is Strawberry Shortcake and Emma is a strawberry.
