Just Hangin' Around

Emma is in the stage where she says "Take my picture" - so as often as I can, I do!  Why not, if she's willing to pose?  Sometimes we get pretty random pictures.... 

Hanging upside down on the couch...

Eating a snack...

Little brother likes to hang out too.  I thought it was funny how he moved his bib around.  He just left it & was just content.  He's such a good baby.

Poor Papa..

Meeting Aunt Nancy

Henry & I go in to wake up Emma most mornings.  She loves being woken up by her baby brother & sometimes she thinks he needs to go under the covers with her.  They are so so sweet. 

Beach!

In early September, we went to Destin with my parents.  We had the best time!

Henry's toes in the ocean!

Love bug!

Our family (please ignore the fact that we're in swimsuits!)

We had a great time getting away & having a little vacation before started getting too busy!  It was nice to have my parents' help & of course the kids loved having them there!

WELL

So I guess it's been awhile.... I promise I've been meaning to check in, but yeah... I just realized I haven't posted since September.

My excuse is that work is kicking my butt.  I'm trying to get caught up there & everything else seems to have spiraled out of control.  At any rate, I will try to do better.  Stay tuned & I'll try to work through some pictures :)

Henry is 4 Months Old! (August 30)

Henry turned 4 months old. 

Don't you love his feet?  He is crazy...

Big Gummy Smile!!

I swear, he is so sweet, I could eat him with a spoon.  He is such an easy-going little guy, very content as long as he can see us & we pay attention to him.  He loves his Mommy, Daddy, Big Sister, bath time, his teachers at school, & napping in his car seat or on Mom!

Fort!

When I was a kid, Cory & I used to build a fort with our dining room chairs & blankets, & hang out in it all day, reading books, playing, goofing off.  One weekend we were home, I thought....why not build a little fort for Emma?  So, I did. 

She seemed to like it.

Next time I guess we'll need more chairs & more blankets, but she seemed to like it.  We'll have to do it again sometime!

My Babies & Child Photographer

See that cute girl in the picture below?  See that camera around her neck?  There's kind of a story behind it.  Her Nanny & Papa brought it back for her from Pikes Peak & it has pictures in it to look at.  But, she thinks its real. 

Anyway, a few pictures of the kiddos.  Not complete without the camera and a barbie doll. 

Smiley boy

I was trying to get some pictures of my boy...

But Barbie had to be close-by (she must have a crush)

I gave up on good pictures & let Emma take over....

I'd say not too bad for a 3 year old!  Santa may have to bring her a camera, LOL.

Craft Cabinet

I designated a "Craft Cabinet" in the kitchen where I store Emma's coloring books, crayons, stickers, etc, along with a few of my "crafty" items (ie, ribbon for bows!) Emma gets into the cabinet occasionally to pull out what she wants to do at the kitchen table, but one day I found her like this...

Sitting IN the cabinet!

Needless to say, I found this rather funny.

Searching for what she wants... you can hardly see her.

She is such a goober.
