Anna 7 weeks old

The past week Anna has started showing us her beautiful smile! We love our baby girl!

Merry Christmas!

Too Sweet!

Emma is such a great big sister!

She loves helping out by bringing us diapers to change Anna and putting the dirty ones in the diaper pail!

She has been so sweet to Anna and loves to give her hugs and kisses.

So far she has shown no signs of jealousy and only seems to be bothered when Anna cries:
"It's loud!" she says! :)

Welcome Anna Kate Nichols!

I realize I'm a few weeks late with this! But I was having trouble getting pictures uploaded.

Our Girls

Our Christmas gift this year!

We had the wonderful opportunity to have Catherine Gikas take pictures of our beautiful girls.

Check out the link above to see a sneak peek of some of the great shots she got!

Amazing!

Pumpkin Patch

Emma had lots of fun at the pumpkin patch.

It was a perfect evening for it; nice weather and not too crowded.

We picked a nice big one to carve, a little one for decorations, and a turbin.

Pig tails and sunglasses

Emma loves to wear her hair in pig tails,

and actually it keeps the hair out of her face better

than any other hairstyle we've tried.

She also loves to wear glasses!

Sunglasses, reading glasses, and daddy's safety glasses!

I can see a dress up trunk in the near future!

Poor daddy... no boy toys, just princesses, tea parties, and dress up!

Big Sister in Training!

Today we went to visit my friend Heather and the

newest addition to the Berry family, baby Abrahm.

Emma was so cute holding him!

She's going to be a great big sister!

Beach trip for Mommy and Daddy

We had a great time on our couples trip to the beach!

It was the most relaxing vacation we can remember taking!

We went with 3 other couples from our Sunday School Class:

2 from Shreveport and 1 from Colorado Springs.

We had a blast just hanging out and having uninterrupted

conversations, sleeping in, eating out with no high chairs,

and staying up late playing games!

Of course we missed Emma and were excited to get back

home to see her!

Oodles of fun

This summer has really gone fast! I can't believe it's already August!

It has been the hottest summer too!

We have tried to stay cool and do inside activities and eat lots

of popcicles and Icees!

Emma is getting so big! She is definitely a 2 year old!

She has a mind of her own and lets you know exactly

what she wants, when she wants it!

We are progressing in potty training and just

this week have celebrated her accomplishments

with some new cotton training panties!

She did great for two whole days, including nap time, with

no accidents, but hit a little bump on day three.

Practice, practice, practice!

One of my current projects is getting Emma's big girl room ready.

Instead of doing a new nursery for Baby Girl 2 (no name yet), we've

decided to give her Emma's baby room and move

Emma to a big girl room! I'll post when we get it done, hopefully this month!
