Just a quick note...

Yes, we're still alive. =o) Emmie is trying to adjust to the time change. So that's our biggest challenge right now. Chad had his wisdom teeth out a week ago and recovered very quickly. We're both very thankful for that. I'll try and get some pictures up soon. It takes awhile on our computer to shrink the images and then finding time to post is a whole other issue. Since we have dial-up and are using Chad's parents phone line, we don't want our computer usage to tie up their ability to use their phone. So as much as I would like to be on the computer all day surfing and posting, it would be very inconsiderate of me to do such a thing. So in the meantime, I will try and post as often as I can and get pictures up soon. =o)

More Pictures from the Fair

We had fun with all our friends at the fair. The picture below is of Chad and Emmie (6 weeks), David and Abby (6 months), and Brad with Kaylah (8 weeks). Even from the time we all found out we were expecting, the guys were excited about being able to take their daughters to the fair together.



Watching the dog show and waiting for Emmie to burp. =o)


Chad holding the cousins. Emmie had just spit out her pacifier and wasn't too happy.

Finally some more pictures

Here are the promised pictures from the fair. Granted it was almost a month ago...I'll get caught up sometime soon....I think =o)

You can't really see her in the stroller, but this was the first day we went to the fair. It was bright and sunny out.


Here's Chad holding his little country darlin'. We had her all dressed up in her shortalls.


The tractors were so big you could sit in the wheels. =o)

A Weekend of Friends

This past weekend we were able to go down to school for homecoming weekend. It was wonderful to see friends and fellow former PHCers. We had fun showing Emmie off at work on Friday and I had fun cheering while watching the Alumni vs. Students football game on Saturday. Alumni won 18-12 (no goal posts for extra point attempts). Go Kneppers!! Emmie stayed home with her daddy on Saturday because I had a bridal shower to go to in the evening down by school. The shower was filled with laughter and joking and more chances for to catch up with friends whom I haven't seen in a couple of months. Oh, and Jeanette makes a mean pan of lasagna. So if you ever have the chance to eat some, I would highly recommend it. =o)

Sunday we went over to Chad's grandmother's house to watch the Redskin's football game with her to help celebrate her 86th birthday that was yesterday. I hope I'm that alert to football when I'm her age. She knows the numbers of the big players. Like when Clinton Portis made a big run she said, "That was number 26, wasn't it?" Too fun.

Monday brought more company as one of my bride's maids who was in town for the week stopped by to meet Emmie. We had a good time catching up and doing some shopping for a baby present for Emmie. Unfortunately, my daughter does not have a mother who will spend $15 on a pair of baby blue jeans so we had to forgo the cute little jeans with flowers on them. But we found a couple of cute outfits and an even cuter jumper outfit for chuch so all was well. I am very thankful for garage sales and baby fairs. I'm able to let other people buy the cute, expensive stuff and then have their child wear it twice before they outgrow it and then I can buy it from them for 10 percent, if not less, of what they paid for it. =o) Life is good.
I'll try and get some pictures up in the next post.
