Star Wars Fans

I got these Star Wars shirts on clearance for the kiddos in honor of Daddy's love for Star Wars. 

A Perfect Heart

On Friday, Dave and I took Emma to the Cardiologist to get an EKG and an Echocardiogram.  She had an EKG when she was 3 months old and her heart looked perfect, but she recently had some blood work that was 'off' so we went to the Cancer Clinic and the heart doc just to get everything looked at again.  I had peace and didn't feel like anything was wrong, but we wanted to make sure that she was ok.  Everything looks good.  I continue to be amazed at God's goodness.  Why I'm surprised or amazed is silly, really.  God has never let me down and always shown Himself, especially through the tough times.  None the less, I remain a doubter at times.  Anyway, Dave and I were both so overwhelmed by how God has blessed Emma.  She really is our little miracle. 

Here are some bonus pictures of all the cuties!

Seriously, Josiah's favorite spot in the house...well, that was until he figured out how to climb the stairs.

Spinning in the tutus I made them for Christmas.

First Haircut

Today we took Josiah to get his first haircut.  The top was so long and it was hanging over his ears.

He liked driving the car.

Out of nowhere he got really mellow.

 He enjoyed grabbing the Flip while Dave recorded him.

 Then he got mad!

 She gave him a comb to distract him.

 But that didn't last very long.

 By the end he would not smile!  He was ready to be done.  Here is the new (super short) hairdo.

Cutie Pies

 Now that Josiah's is moving all over the place his favorite spot is by Scuttles.

 Scuttles loves all the attention.

 

 This is how they watch movies.  It's so sweet.

 Josiah bonked his head on the hardwood floor and got his first mini goose egg.  This is after I iced it for awhile so it doesn't look that bad.

 There is a sleeping baby somewhere in this mess.

 He fell asleep while I was cleaning up after dinner.

Family Day

Emma's teacher has a 'Family Day' where she invites the families to come and hang out in the classroom.  Emma was excited to have all of us in her classroom. 

The girls coloring together.

She has been so excited to go to Emma's class.  She has waited very patiently for a Family Day.

I was helping Emma cut her paper with these neat adaptive scissors.  There is a place for her hand and my hand.

The guys hanging out.  Josiah was given the pacifier because he started eating the crayons.

 

Hold Still Please

I took the kiddos to take pictures at the District last week.  I still haven't done Emma's 3 year picture because she has that constant runny nose between colds.  I finally got the motivation to do it, but I picked a day that Dave was working....not my brightest idea.  So, needless to say, we still don't have a picture to print, but there are a few cute ones I got.

Most of the shots I got were of her back!  I finally got her 'thinking' face.

 Abby wanted to make sure that I got her braid in the picture.

 I love this one of them hugging the pole and each other.

 He was a little sleepy.

Emma went to school after this and I left the flowers in her hair.  One of the little boys in her class got off the bus and told her teacher 'Emma looks pretty today'.  So sweet!  I love how much she loves going to school and the little friends she has made.

9 Months

Little Josiah isn't so little anymore.  This past month he has grown up so much.  He is definitely on the move now.  His little crawl is so cute.  He crawls on his elbows and knees.  When we are really far from him and he knows it's going to take awhile to get to us he starts yelling in protest, not in a tantrum way but like he really wants to get to us.

He's eating tons of food now.  I hardly have to use the food processor anymore.  He's getting better at feeding himself now.  I love watching him try to cram food into his mouth.

He has so much fun with this little race track toy.  He loves to see it move and hear the music.  This picture is funny to me because his is screaming at the toy because he's excited, but he looks mad.

He has said 'Mama' to get my attention several times!!! Yay, someone finally said my name first!  His top two teeth finally popped through the gums.  He moved out of the 'baby' car seat and into a big boy car seat.  I think that pretty much covers what he's been up to.  I wish he would just slow down and be my baby a little longer!!!
