Settling in..

Some of the things we have done since we moved to Missouri in May-

                                  Visited the Arch when Nana was in town

                  Celebrated Emma's 4th Birthday when Grandma Ann visited

Made a trip to the ER with Emma.  Seems as though I was a little late getting dinner   ready and a mushroom from the yard looked appetizing..  So, she had charcoal for dessert! ;)

                                       
                                            Celebrated the 4th of July!

        Made a trip to Indiana to visit family while Papa was in town from Arizona

Love to you all,

We're still here!!!

This post will be mostly pictures. We had a great summer! We are looking forward to a fun fall as well. We are keeping busy with swimming lessons, dance classes for Emma and all the fun things that fall brings. We will be heading to Arizona in October for a week - - We are so excited to see family, relax a little and just catch up!

Love to you all,

April Showers...

Why oh why does it have to be SNOW showers?? Oh, how I long for spring!!! This is what the kids are doing at 9:00 AM on April 5th. Jim is such a good Daddy..




We would really appreciate it if you all in Arizona could send us some warm weather please... But maybe you're too busy sunning yourself at the moment.. :-)

Love to you all,

Random Pictures & TGIF!!!!

Happy Friday!! Just a quick post today of some Batman (aka Sammy) and Batgirl (aka Emma) pics. The kids love "saving the world" while in disguise. :) They really have a great time playing together.

We can't wait until warm weather gets here! I think we are all getting a little stir crazy. I can't wait to be able to play outside with the kids on my days off! Nothing too excited planned for this weekend. Grandma Ann is coming down and we are excited to spend some time with her. Jim was gone all week on a business trip so we are looking forward to just hunkering down and relaxing! Have a great weekend!!!!!

Love to you all,

Sammy's Forever Day!!!

Happy Forever Day Sammy!
You are the poem I dreamed of writing, the masterpiece I longed to paint. You are the shining star I reached for in my ever-hopeful quest for life fulfilled. You are my child. Now with all things I am blessed.

Sammy, you make us laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY! You are truly our sunshine... We love you so much!
