Emily

Emily is at a really really fun stage. She is so happy. I am absolutely in love with her. Sometimes I think I could almost take a chunk right out of her chubby little cheeks. (Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't put that on my blog... anyone out there work for Child Services??... LOL!) She isn't fully crawling yet - she does the army crawl. But, she is pulling herself up to standing.... and then, topples right over. I assume... that God created her with a hard noggin for all these falls. ;-) She must have a high pain tolerance because she rarely cries. Here are a few pictures.

Posing with her awesome New Balance sneaks from Aunt Lois... (Does anyone else say "sneakers"/"sneaks" for tennis shoes? Is that a NY thing?)

I'm a big girl now!!!

Love chewing on these biscuits! (Why - I don't understand ... because they taste awful... I tried one!)

Emily loves this spot behind the futon because the bar is perfect to use for sitting up and standing.

Question of the day:

How can I lose the rest of my baby weight & probably holiday weight? I know some of you have been members of curves - what did you think of it? Weight watchers? My gym membership just ended - although I did get my money's worth out of it... but it is probably too far away to drive now that I have Emily. So ... I am trying to decide what to do...

Christmas Celebration

We went to Christmas Celebration.... awesome. Casting Crowns, Natalie Grant, Michael English, Pur NRG, Avalon, Denver & Mile High Orchestra. It was great.

Rockettes

These pictures are out of order..... I won free tickets to see the Rockettes. It was a really great show. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I was even more impressed that at the end. They read scripture... did the manger scene, procession of the kings, and the kings giving their gifts to baby Jesus... and then people sang Joy to the World.

This was so cool. They did an amazing toy soldier routine... but here they all fell over backwards... in slow motion... it was incredible.
