Emma's 2nd Birthday Party!

Emma had a great time at her 2nd birthday party. The theme was Little Einsteins, which is one of her favorite shows right now. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Emma has been enjoying all of her wonderful gifts and appreciates each one of them.

Minnie goes trick or treating

Helping mommy pack for Jacksonville

Emma helped me pack things up for Jacksonville by coloring on the packing paper and climbing in the boxes. We made it safe and sound and are almost done unpacking. Our house here has it's quirks, but it has lots of space and the more we get settled in the more we like it. The neighborhood is beautiful and will be a great place to spend the next couple of years with our girls. Thanks for all of your prayers and praise the Lord for how he has blessed our family.

Visit to the pumpkin patch October 18th

Here are some pictures of Emma Kate having a blast at the pumpkin patch. She was so excited to go pick out her "punkin". As soon as we got there, Em went right to work moving the pumpkins from one place to the next. Apparently they were not set up the way she wanted. She especially loved playing with the baby pumpkins. When she found the one she liked she gave it a kiss. What a sweet girl!

My favorite picture from our Disney trip!

Disney Trip October 17th

Larry, Emma, and I had a wonderful time at Disney this past weekend. God blessed us with amazing weather; we even had to bundle up in the evenings. Emma Kate's favorite things were: getting to see the Little Einsteins and Rocket, getting to pick out her Mickey ha-moon (which is how she says balloon), and seeing the parade and fireworks show on Saturday night. She commentated the whole fireworks show from daddy's shoulders saying things like "yeah, dad, we did it" and "look, mom, clouds at Cinderella's castle." She called the fireworks clouds no matter how many times we corrected her. It was so nice to be able to enjoy this special trip with Emma before her baby sister Lola arrives.
