My Mom

I have so many different words to describe my amazing Mom. One of the many qualities that I admire is her ability to create ANYTHING! If she has an idea or even a notion of a project, she always puts 150% into it and finds a way to complete the task with outstanding results. She recently whipped out the design and pattern for a "window" covering for our playground set and had it finished in a couple of days. Not only does the covering add to look of the playground, but also serves as a witnessing tool for our neighbors.

I am truly blessed and inspired by my Mom!!!

Spring has arrived

I just love to watch babies grow and discover new things. I also love to see their very first reaction to things. We finally had some warm weather around here so I let Emily enjoy the outside scenery. We also purchased a baby swing for our playground set and the first time Charlie swung Emily she shook with a little bit of fear and excitement, but then once she was used to it her face lit up with smiles and giggles. Now she cries when we take her out of it.

8 Months Old

The word to describe Emily this month would be curious. She reaches for EVERYTHING and if your hair happens to be in the way watch out she will pull it out. She has even started grabbing and pulling her own hair while she's eating and goodness knows she doesn't need to be messing with that fabulous hairdo. She can now roll from tummy to back and vice-versa. So far she loves all the veggies and fruit she's been given, but is not too fond of prunes. We have been blessed with such a pleasant baby.

Fun at Mommaw and Poppaw's

Easter 2007

We were able to spend Easter this year in PA and of course captured some pretty funny shots of Emily. We especially love the one with the sunglasses that Grammy and Pappy gave her in her basket. Aunt Randa calls her our little Stevie Wonder baby.

Emily is enjoying not only her first Easter, but her first Easter in the snow.

"My hair doesn't look that bad does it?"
Both Pappy and Emily got a little too close to the electrical socket.

The first test of a gift from a baby's perspective is how good does the packaging taste.

Easter Sunday




Emily tells Grammy, "Grammy, it's a wee bit cold outside to wear these sandals. We might have to try later in a couple months."
