Gotcha! TWO YEARS!

Wow- is all I can say on how quickly 2 years have literally flown by! It seems just like yesterday that I was writing her 1 year later gotcha day blog! I cannot even put into words how thrilled we are to have the joy of having Emma as our daughter!   She has brought so much happiness, excitement, and spunk to all of our lives!  She keeps us on our toes with all the things she wants to do!  She loves coming home from school to go on a bike ride.  However, she doesn't ask to go bike riding.... she says "let's do exercise mommy."  She is quite the boss when it comes to her BIG brothers- Noah and  Adam who will always comply.   She definitely has her daddy wrapped around her little fingers!  Her Nana is always there with cookies or a treat for her!  And ME- I so love hearing her call for me, carrying her, dressing her up, doing her hair, and just hanging out!  She has totally changed our family for the better.  We SO LOVE our sassy, adorable, playful, strong willed, and don't forget BEAUTIFUL daughter, sister, and grandchild!
Emma:  YOU ARE THE BEST!

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  We spent X-mas eve at our best friends house.  We had a great time- especially since daddy was able to get out of working that day!  X-mas morning we had to wake Emma up!  Everyone had a lot of  fun opening up their presents! Then off to Nana's for breakfast and more presents!  X-mas night I had friends and family over!  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends!

The ZOO

The other day was a beautiful day so we decided to head over to the zoo.  What a great day we had!  We rented a bike to travel through the zoo.  Everyone had a wonderful time!  Enjoy the pictures!
