From 3-30-10 Molly's Birthday Weekend

Emmie and I had a wonderful time in Baltimore this past weekend. We went up for Molly's 3rd Birthday Party on Saturday. The theme was "Dora" and Jen did an awesome job with pinatas, party food, and even Spanish labels for house items. It was alot of fun and a huge hit with Molly and her friends. Click on the pix above to see more.

The rest of the time we just hung out: played, cooked in the kitchen, went to an indoor swimming pool, and an Easter egg hunt.

1 Year and 2 Months Old

Hello my sweet Emmie!
From 1-24-10 Emmie at 1 Year


Today is a gorgeous day from the Lord and we enjoyed it well. We took 2 walks, went swinging, and you played in the grass in the backyard while Daddy was doing some yard work. Daddy and I both had the same thoughts during this moment. Daddy..."I am so blessed to be doing yard work while my baby girl is playing on a blanket with her toys in the grass." Mommy looking out the kitchen window..."I am so happy cooking dinner while looking at my wonderful husband and sweet daughter in the back yard."

I was eager to post today because your vocabulary has exploded this month:
(this is a little more than the 7 words that she could say last month)
shoe
shew (stinky)
abba - lay back
no tank you - no thank you
see
kaka - cracker
Bable - Bible
Awmen - amen
okay
alwight - alright
hum
ow (when it hurts)
cak - duck sound
maw - cow sound
moow - cat sound
ru- dog sound
nite nite
"Hi, Dada!" - first sentence
aaful - waffle
mi mi - milk

Other new accomplishments:
-you give your baby dolls kisses
-you sign "All Done"
-you sign "thank you" and say no thank you when pushing things away
-you LOVE quartered grapes
-when you find a blankie - you put it by your ear and say "nite nite"
-you no longer have your paci (at naptime or at bedtime)
-you have dropped your morning nap, now you take 1 nap at 1pm for about 2-3 hrs.
-you sit forward in the car now, we transitioned you to your "big girl" car seat
-you try to blow your nose and also whistle
-you have all your 1 yr. molars in
-you FOUND your belly button after we read you the "Belly Button Book" - so cute!!! You lift up mine and your shirt throughout the day to make sure they are still there! this is awesome!
-each time you get up you want to get a book off your shelf
-you do 4 signs for 4 different songs that you love to sing: This Little Light, Head Shoulders Knees Toes, My God is So Big, and Patty Cake

Life is just grand with you, Emmie! We love living life with you and watching God grow and develop you each day. Thank you Lord, for bringing more joy to us than we could imagine though our little girl.

I love you!
Mommy

Jeremy got a hold of her hair once again in the bathtub. Is she a shark this time?
From 1-24-10 Emmie at 1 Year


Emmie didn't know about her belly button until we read the book "Belly Button" the other night. Now she will take any chance during the day to lift my shirt or her shirt to make sure they are still there.
From 1-24-10 Emmie at 1 Year


ALSO, the BIGGEST news...Emmie is taking her naps without her paci now. We took it away on Monday and she has been doing great! Praise God that He has taught her how to put herself to sleep without it, since I wouldn't have been much help on that. Maybe on Friday night we will take it away for bedtime?!?!?

Have a great weekend!

Our House is on the Market!!!

From Our House is on the Market!

We are so excited that Graham Holmes at ReMax Over the Mountain has listed our house! Look at it online here on remax.com


We have worked hard this past month getting it ready. Cleaning out closets, having new cabinet doors and hardware put on in the kitchen (see pix below), and having a great, professional painter (Joe Stuckey - I highly recommend him at a very good price!) come and paint the entire interior of our home.

From Our House is on the Market!

We are hoping to move to the Caldwell Mill Road/Inverness Area closer to where Jeremy works by the Colonnade. Altadena Woods would be my first pick neighborhood, but we will just see what house the Lord has for us. Thank goodness the Lord told me about 3 years ago, that He would put our new house on the market right when it needed to be. I have such a peace about this. Either we will get a contract and the house we love will still be on the market or the house we are supposed to live in next is not on the market yet so we will wait to get a contract on our's. I am fine with this either way. I am just excited to see what God has for us!!

We are just patient and just waiting on Him - no rush!
