Decemberish

Emerald's first snow! It didn't last long- but it was pretty :)



She seemed to enjoy it :)


Kieran loved seeing the Jefferson City High School's production of Beauty and the Beast!

I am constantly amazed at how he has grown- he is reading and writing better and better every day :)


Building a foam xmas house with daddy.


Happy 8 month birthday sweetheart!

I swear, Emerald is the happiest, smiliest, sweetest baby ever!



Still smiling- even through a three hour wait at urgent care with a double ear infection.


Silly times with daddy on the bed.


Building a gingerbread house for a class Christmas party :)


Silly, silly boy :)

"Choosing out" the Christmas tree :)
Decorating the tree while watching Emmett Otter's Jugband Family Christmas :)




Mmmm! Mangoes and egg!


So cool ;)

Practicing for his holiday performance on PJ day in the music room.

Singing carols at a local bank with his kindergarten class.


Ms. Stow directs her smiling kiddos :)

Checking out the front yard.


New house shoes from nana Jo :)

Chillin.


An Emerald craft she made with Katelyn.


Love these tiny little fingers :)

Kieran and mommy made big gingerbread house!


Soooo big!


Emerald loves her "pink" medicine ;)

A little pre-Christmas fun with the Leslie family at Tiger Bounce!

So, so precious :)




They have a great baby play space too :)



Emerald's first visit with Santa :)

Kieran's first letter to Santa :)



Nene Orange went with us to visit Santa- gotta love Bass Pro at Christmas!


Kieran's favorite activity- archery!

Looking at pictures waiting for our lunch at a Mexican place :)



Christmas morning has arrived!

Checking out a package :)

Rock em Sock em Robots!! This year's Santa gift!
Playing Rock em Sock em with dad while Emerald checks out some wrapping paper.



One cool ninja ;)


It was a musical sort of Christmas- a piano, a recorder, a triangle and a guitar!

Gotta work on that form a little bit ;)

Mom thinks she's a rock star ;)
Not impressed with his sweater gift from mom ;)

We love this Santa!

A sweet card Kieran made for Emerald and put in her stocking :)




Christmas at Sandy's :)


Cutest little Santa baby ever!

"Awesome!"

A favorite toy- Big Hero 6!

Maxin' and relaxin' on the sofa :)


Emerald in her new "bibs" from Auntie Joyce and Uncle Furcin.

Saying "hi" to the dogs :)


A little Star Wars time :)

"Get mom!"



Silly baby ;)






Getting his third stripe- yellow belt- here he comes!



Messy, sweet little girl :)




























Novemberish



Kieran's kindergarten school picture- look at that cheesy, sweet smile :)


Daddy and Emerald during a morning nap :)

Happy 7 months little one!



Emerald was going crazy over this ball- just squealing and screaming with delight! 




Practicing karate moves.

Batman takes a break from crime-fighting for a little light reading.

A drawing Kieran made of Emerald :)

Emme hanging out in her baby containment device (i.e. pack n' play) in the kitchen.

She loves this walker- just like her brother did a few years back.


Hamming it up in Walmart.


Emerald graduated quickly from puree's to table foods. She began refusing my homemade purees shortly after we introduced them so we tried tiny bits of table foods- and she loved it!

A big of an independent streak I guess... but I have to admit I am kinda' glad she decided to skip baby foods and go straight to regular foods- it's a lot easier and she gets a lot more variety too.



Kieran reading to Emerald in the kitchen.

More cage time for our little trouble maker- she has been getting into everything these days!




A Thanksgiving mat Emerald made with Katelyn with her sweet little feet!

Papa is crazy about this little girl!

Some quality time before Thanksgiving dinner is served :)


Rick tried out another type of baby containment ;)

Making beautiful music with her papa.


Kieran and Presley chilling on the sofa.


"Hello!"
