February Fun :)

Here are a few pictures we've taken so far this month, enjoy the cuteness!

 

These two just love each other, it's so sweet!! 

Luke is doing so great drinking from a sippy cup! 

Emmy & Josh doing her Passport Project that she gets

every month in the mail, thank you Papa & Grandma! 

8 months old today!! 

As you can see, Luke is now mobile!! He can crawl/scoot backwards

but is still working on going forwards. That's how he ended

up underneath the couch, haha! 

Luke loves to wave!! 

Here's a picture of Emmy on stage getting ready to sing with the other kids at church :) 

 

Luke enjoying the swing at Miss Carol's...can you see his 2 front teeth now too?? 

Pajama time!!

I couldn't resist sharing this....Emmy and Luke sitting in Josh's chair together before bed. Luke absolutely adores his big sis, you can already tell. And she has loved him since the moment she heard he was coming. She still whispers a special goodnight wish to him, just as she did before he was born. Instead of kissing my tummy and saying, "Goodnight precious baby, I love you" she now kisses his forehead and whispers "Goodnight brother, I love you" (except it comes out "brudder") and it is the sweetest thing ever...Thank you Father for these two precious children you have given us, we are so truly thankful for them!

Mamma Mia!

Last night, Emmy and I made homemade pizza together! Since she loves to cook/bake so much, Grammy & Gramps got her her very own cooking utensils and supplies for Christmas! She was so excited to make her pizza all by herself and boy was it good!! Way to go Pizza Chef Emmy!! :)

6 months!!

Our "little" boy sure is growing! :) At his 6 month check up last month he was 21 lbs and 29 inches long!! Above the 98% in every way, haha! He is in 9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes already. He is also eating lots of new food now, has 2 teeth and is laughing, smiling and "talking" all the time! He is such a sweet boy, we love you Lucas Ray!!!

Luke's 1st Christmas

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, we sure did!!! :) Emmy loved helping Luke open his presents and he loved trying to eat the wrapping paper in the process! Now that he has TWO teeth and eating real food he wants to try and chew/eat everything! More on that and his 6 month stats in the next post!! 

Spoiler alert.....He's huge!!!! ;)

Christmas with Friends

This afternoon, Emmy and Luke had their Christmas party at Miss Carol's. Families of those who currently go to Miss Carol's and then several more who are now in school are invited to come together and celebrate. And of course Santa pays a visit too :) Luke cared more about the wrapping paper than Santa, but he did sit on his lap for a quick picture with his big sis! Emmy was so excited to see Santa this year, her little face just lit up when he walked in. Carol and her husband Perry, always do such a great job making the party so special for the kids and their families. Thank you Miss Carol for all you do for us, we love you!!!

Thankful Beyond Measure

Even though we are in the midst of Thanksgiving festivities, we took advantage of the day off together and began our Christmas preparations. And as we started putting up the tree, hanging lights, ornaments and stockings, I couldn't help but remember last Christmas. Emmy standing by the tree as we told her that she was going to be a big sister. Or hanging our stockings and wondering, if everything goes well, would there be another little one with us next year? And as I stood there today watching our family of four, as we laughed and played, my mind went back to everything we have been through....the loss, the emotional roller coaster, the five pregnancies in five years. And now....our joy. Our two precious joys. This Thanksgiving particular, I am thankful....thankful beyond measure.
