Trick-or-Treat!!

Happy Halloween Everybody!!!!

Weekend in Chicago

This month marks our 5 yr wedding anniversary and we were so blessed to get to spend a weekend away together to celebrate. My step-sister Sara, and her family let us use their condo in downtown Chicago while Emmy stayed with my dad and Sherry. It was an amazing weekend and we had so much fun together. And Emmy, of course, had such a good time with Papa & Grandma. And by all the stories that were shared, I think Dad and Sherry sure did too! They were already asking when we'd be going away again so she could come back and stay!  :)

P-A-R-T-Y!!!

This year we were fortunate to have Emmy's 2nd birthday party at our new house! It was a little chilly and rainy again, but thankfully we all still managed to cram into our house and celebrate Little Miss Emily Jane. :) We were so thankful that family drove so far to be with her, and for all the help so many people gave us, we love you guys! Here are a few pictures from her party, and then a few of the three of us celebrating on her actual birthday!


Happy Birthday to ME!! :)

Our first experience with a "bounce house" place was on her birthday, and she loved it!



Wheee! Who do you think looks more scared, her or me?!




Our gift to Emmy, a "new" kitchen for her playroom!

Happy 2nd Birthday Emily Jane, we all LOVE you!!!!

2 yr pics!

Again this Fall, we were fortunate to have my friend from Riley, Shannon Arch, take Emmy's pictures. As always, we were more than pleased with how they turned out! Shannon has such a way of capturing Emmy's sweet but mischevious personality. :) Enjoy a few of our favorites!

Emily Jane turns 2!!!

Sigh...last night when we laid Emmy down I couldn't help but blurt out "I can't believe this is the last night you're going to be one!" I know, I sound like a crazy mom, but I just can't believe she is Two....Years....Old! What a fun-filled two years it has been and I am so excited to see what God has planned for our precious daughter next. Happy Birthday Emily Jane, your daddy and I love you so much and are very proud of you! 

Wedding fun!

A few weeks ago one of my dear friends from Riley, Brooke, got married. It was such an honor to be able to celebrate with them on their special day. We had such a good time getting to catch up with a few other Riley friends that night too while Emmy was with Grammy and Gramps :) Brooke, you looked absolutely stunning, congratulations to you and Rich, we love ya!!

Santa...in September!

Last month we had the opportunity to travel to Holiday World with the Erwin family. We had such a wonderful time!  The kids loved playing together and us adults enjoyed hanging out too! We look forward to many more trips together. And Emmy still talks about Santa, even a month later!
