Winter Wonderland

Well, we finally got our big storm that we have been waiting years for!!! We got about 8 inches or so, which is huge for our area. Richmond somehow always seems to get bypassed with the fun wintery storms, but not this time. We were out last night building a huge snowman, and today we are going to head out and do some sledding. The pics of last night aren't too clear because the lens kept focussing on the snow, since it was the closest object, but it made for some kinda cool pics as well! Enjoy!


Our backyard! So beautiful!

Check out that ledge! That is a lot of snow for us southerners!

The start of Frosty!

Attempting to sled on a cookie sheet...we don't have any sleds!



Frosty and family!

Bryden, McKenzie and Sarah having fun in the snow and sledding!

One Month Old

Yea! Emerson is one month old today...and, it is also her actual due date! She is doing really well, and though we don't know what she weighs right now, we go to the Doc next week, I think she is close to 7 pounds! She is awake quite a bit during the day, and is sleeping in 3 hour chunks at night. She loves to look at the pictures on our walls, or anything on the walls really, she definitely gets lost in them when she is looking around. When Bryden tries to give Emmy a hug, a lot of times Emmy will throw her arm up (more a reflex than anything), but we tell Bryden that Emmy is hugging her back! Both girls are doing really well, and Bryden is so funny because she'll say "I'll take care of it!" when Emerson starts to fuss! Such a little Mommy, it is too cute! Enjoy the pics!

Yipee, look at me! I am one month old today!




How can this be comfortable? I just don't know, but Emmy sleeps like this ALL the time in her carseat, and her head is always to the same side. She must have been curled up like that inside. We try to put a little stuffed doggie by her head, but she still usually manages to end up with her ear attached to her shoulder! It must be a newborn thing though, I remember Bryden doing the same thing!

Ahhhhh! Sweet slumber! Nap time for the girls!

Bath Time

Both girls needed a bath tonight, so they got to share tub time! Bryden was a big helper in pouring water over Emmy to get her smelling all clean and fresh! Enjoy the pics!



This is just a cute pic of the girls hanging out together on the couch!

Little Helper

Bryden LOVES LOVES LOVES her little sister and really enjoys helping Mommy and Daddy take care of her! When Emerson starts to squeak, Bryden hollers "Mommy, Emmy needs her diaper changed." So funny! She really wants to be involved in caring for Emerson and it is fun for us to watch her show her love and affection. Here is a cute pic of Bryden changing Emerson's diaper. Enjoy!

Peaceful Slumber

Emerson loves to snooze during the day, though she is starting to stay awake for longer periods at a time, but she's a sleeper for sure...Now, if I can just get her to sleep this soundly at night (I don't know if it is too quiet at night or what, but she has a much more restless sleep at night as opposed to the daytime). Enjoy!
