A Most Eggs-cellent Birthday

Today was Easter, but also Emmie's second birthday. Needless to say, we had lots of fun! Here's a brief summary of the action:

The day began with a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt.

Note to self: hide the eggs better next year...

Then came the Easter baskets - "Candy? For breakfast? Sweeeeet!"

After breakfast we got to open some presents -

Emmie got lots of cool stuff...

Later in the evening, Emmie enjoyed a beautiful birthday cake.

Mommy had to help some with the candles...

But not with the cake - Emmie has that down :)

Hope you had a great Easter!

Rock, Rock..... Sun!!!

It's like Duck, Duck, Goose, only with pebbles and a massive incandescent fireball:

Excuse me

...but this shower is occupied!!!

Ok, one smile, but then leave me alone.

Wow, didn't realize it had been so long

I guess I haven't posted in about a month, so I guess it is time. Things here are going well. We have been busy working on the nursery and of course trying to figure out a name. Everytime we think we have settled on one, we change our mind. Emmie is doing good and is very happy that we are having nicer weather, so that she can go outside again. She was VERY sick last week and pretty much just laid on the sofa and watched TV. Here are a few picturesof her relaxing.

Even more snow pictures

Just what you wanted to see...more pictures of Emerson playing in the snow. Unfortunately there is not much else to do when you have snow everywhere. Emerson still loves playing in the snow, but I think she enjoys eating it even more!

What!? It wasn't yellow.

First pictures of (name to be determined)

Today we went and had a 4D ultrasound of (we will figure out a name soon). She looks so much like Emerson it is scary. Here are some of the pictures along with some pictures of Emerson when she was first born to compare them to.

It's been awhile since we posted, but it is still cold and snowy here. We have been trying to entertain Emerson with new things to do and there is no better way to do that than to give her all sorts of different foods to eat. As you all know, Emerson is very small and the doctors have recommended pumping her full of calories to get weight on her. So, here are some pictures of Emmie following doctor's orders.

Even after a tasty pastrami sandwich and corndogs, she would still prefer to eat mushrooms, bell peppers, and lettuce. I guess we shouldn't complain that she prefers to eat healthy. :)
