We've been busy...VERY busy!

Fried Graham Cracker

While I was cooking dinner tonight, Emma decided to whip up her specialty dish....

FRIED GRAHAM CRACKERS. Yummy!

Our Silly Monkey

The Double Nose Pick (gross!)

Just doing a little shopping!

She may be silly, but she sure is sweet!

Four Fantastic Years

What a wonderful four years it has been...

We built and purchased a house and moved away from family.

We sold a house and moved back home.

We struggled to get pregnant and then felt the joy when we saw our daughter for the first time.

We've gotten job offers, been un-employed, and struggled with money.

Through it all, there is no one else I would rather do it with.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Emma's First Dog

Today Em ate her first Skin's Hotdog. If you are ever in the Upstate of South Carolina, you have to eat one. They are the best hotdogs on the planet.

Saltines and Ginger Ale

I've been sick. Yuck. Just hoping that no one else gets it. Finally starting the feel better. THANK GOODNESS!

18 Wonderful Months

A year and a half. Has it really been that long? Here are 18 things that I love about you...things that make me giggle, things that make me cry, and things that (well) are just YOU.

1. You will do ANYTHING for a "kno-kno." (AKA doughnuts)
2. You like to ride Daddy like a horse and you get mad when he doesn't make horsie sounds.
3. You've become fascinated by your little kitchen and love to make "treats" for Mommy and Daddy.
4. You wear 18-24 month clothing and size 5 shoes. (little feet)
5. Mommy and Daddy think you are so smart.
6. You can point to every body part correctly. (even elbows and knees)
7. Your newest words are "See ya" and you say it whenever someone leaves. SO STINKIN' CUTE!
8. When you dance, you look like a dog chasing it's tail.
9. You love to watch "The Fresh Beat Band."
10. You are so sweet most of the time and love to give hugs and kisses.
11. You know how to get to Memom's (my grandmother) house. When we leave to go to her house, every turn we make, you say "Memom! Memom!"
12. I can't believe how much you have grown! You weigh 25 lbs and are VERY tall for your age.
13. You like to climb in the snack cabinet and pick out your own snack.
14. Helping Mommy is one of your favorite things to do.
15. You still love to golf with Daddy outside.
16. You are a little swimmer! You have NO fear of water and will swim by yourself across the pool. (with swimmies on of course)
17. You know how to hold your hands when you pray. We say prayers every night before bed.
18. You are the BEST. We love you so much. You are our perfect gift and we can't believe you are already getting to be such a "big girl!" We can't wait to see what the next six months bring.
