Wordless Wednesday

Happy New Year!

Being the awesome parents that we are, we took our girls out to a party for New Year's Eve. Now, the party celebrated the new year at 8:00 pm, but for the little ones it felt like midnight. Here are some pics of the fun:


Nothing says "Happy New Year" like a ridiculously tiny Christmas sleigh. Apparently Emerson thought it was time for a dramatic speech.


The party was at the Indiana State Museum, which is apparently where they keep the odd parts of Indiana.


Laney's rocking out with some cool beads. I'm sure they're not a choking hazard.


Emmie had fun chasing people around with her balloon.


Daddy and Delaney dancing the night away.

Christmas Day

Well, we've finally recovered some from the Christmas chaos, so it's time to post some of the pictures from that oh-so-special day. But first, here's a video of everyone coming down the stairs Christmas morning:

As you can tell, Emmie was quite excited to see all the stuff Santa brought...

It was at this point I realized that Laney's stocking could actually hold Laney.

No, this picture isn't blurry; Emmie was just opening things that fast...

Tabby eventually ventured downstairs to see what Santa brought her.

Here's a typical Emmie reaction to her presents. She really liked everything she got.

Here's Delaney helping Daddy open his present. I think they were both excited for the new toy!

More Snow Day Fun

It snowed again and this time Emerson and Delaney were prepared for the cold. All Emerson wanted to do was go sleding and daddy was the lucky one who got to pull her through the neighborhood.

This was lap one of about 20

Pretty picture of the snow

I know what you are thinking... Why is daddy pulling Emerson and having to hold Delaney? Where's Mommy??

She was shoveling the driveway :(

Whee!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore the people in the picture and look at what a beautiful shoveling job mommy did!

Snow Day!

It has been very cold here lately and we have had a few snow days. Emerson was so excited to get outside and play. Delaney had no idea that it got this cold outside.

Lets do this!!

Tastes like water...

Wow... this isn't so bad!

I changed my mind. Snow in the eyes is not fun.

When is it summer again?

Nom-Nom...

We've started trying to get Delaney to eat solid foods. We're starting with "delicious" pureed vegetables, which have been less than a hit:

Here Laney's providing us with her usual reaction - not a big fan!

On the plus side, her kung-fu skills are rapidly improving. Here she karate chops a vicious spoonful of peas.

Pictured: Delaney. Not pictured: recently-eaten vegetables making an encore appearance.

So of course, we thought we'd let Emmie help with the feedings. At first things seemed to be going well...

But then.... well, not so good. But at least she's trying!

Not much to report...

...but here is a picture of Emerson.
