Merry Christmas to All!
While I still have time before Christmas is upon us, I wanted to make sure to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed New Year! My New Year's resolution is to try and blog a little more frequently. =o) Ok, you can stop laughing at me now. =o) Enjoy the pictures I finally put up (from September). Merry Christmas!
Getting ready for Christmas
"Mom, I think this ornament needs to go up there."
"Perfect!"
This is the way a construction worker puts together his kid's toys.
Yeehaw! Testing out the finished product.
Cousins
Kaylah taking Emmie for a stroll.
Emmie wasn't to interested in taking this picture until she got to hold Carter.
We got to visit cousin Kaylie and Aunt Allison on our trip to Michigan.
Kaylie was great about sharing all her toys with Emmie.
Picture Update #2
Emmie likes to help me do the dishes by asking for "bubus peace."
With her beard so snowy white
Emmie's big into the leg warmers style.
She wasn't too crazy about the snow. She pretty much refused to walk through it.
Photo Updates 1
One of our favorite things to do at the end of September is go to the fair.
Emmie's trying to "honk" the horn on the tractor.
All that tractoring is hard work!
Our big girls! Last year Emmie was only 6 weeks old, Kaylah was only 8 weeks and Abigail was only 5 months.
She fell asleep eating lunch two days in a row. She must have had a busy morning.
Emmie loves going down her slide when we play outside.

Updates all around....
First, Emmie had her 15 month check up complete with 3 shots last week. She is now 22.5 lbs and 30 inches tall. She is doing pretty well but has had a slight cold the last few days and a crazy schedule so her joyful and obedient spirit has taken a slight vacation for the time being which in turn tends to affect her parents' joyful spirits. We're all working on that one though.
We finally go approval last monday to get a rental car after 3 weeks of wheeling and dealing. We now have a pretty cool black Dodge Dakota with a V8 and satellite radio. Normally the insurance would only pay for a regular 4-door deal but since that was the only vehicle they had at the time we went to pick it up they gave it to us for the same price. Lesson to take away from this whole rental fiasco: Make sure you have rental car coverage on your collision policy. That way, no matter whose fault it is, you can get a retal car right away. We found out after the accident that we didn't have the $24 a year rider on our policy that would guarentee rental car coverage. If by chance it had been declared a no-fault accident and we had rented a car thinking the other insurance would assume responsibility, we would have given ourselves a nifty little christmas gift of a hefty rental bill. So make sure your coverage is up to date. =o) Btw, they are repairing our truck and we should have it by the beginning of December.

Dancing Queen
Emmie loves to dance. Most recently she found a song on the new Pride and Prejudice Soundtrack that she really enjoys. When she stops dancing in the middle if you look to the side you can see Chad's shadow. He was trying to get her to start dancing again. You may have to double click they play button to make it work.

Wonderful news
Well, it finally happened, a little bit of a surprise to most of you I know....we finally got cable Internet! Gotcha, didn't I? You had to admit you thought for just a split second I was pregnant again. =o) Anyway, I am very happy now. This might actually lead to me posting more than once a month and maybe I'll even throw in a video or two of Emmie. =o)
In other news, Emmie decided that she really liked the blood aspect of Halloween and proceeded to fall head first into our magazine stand last night right before bed. She ended up with about a half inch long cut (it wasn't quite a gash, the skin just split) on her forehead that of course bled profusely all over her face, clothes, mother, and father. Needless to say she wasn't thrilled with the blood running all over her face and kept trying to wipe it away with her hand and fighting against the paper towel Chad was using to try and stop it. After the bleeding and Emmie calmed down we were able to check the wound and after debating a trip to the emergency room for stitches (it was about 8:30 pm) we opted for some steri-strips and a bandage (we figured that was about what they would do at the ER anyway as the cut wasn't really deep) This morning she was no worse for the wear and playing around like normal.
Another adventure we are in the midst of right now is sorting everything out from an accident we were in on Oct 20th. Chad and I were on our way up to Sight and Sound (A Christian Theater) in PA for an overnight trip to celebrate our anniversary when we had an unexpected turn of events. We were on a two lane road driving towards a construction zone when suddenly a suburban pulled around a stopped truck into our lane. We didn't know what was going on but Chad slammed on the brakes and tried to get as far to the right as he could without plowing into the guardrail. All I remember thinking is ok, we're pretty much stopped. Why isn't he stopping or going around?!! Then CRASH!! the front left corners of our vehicles hit. It was all a little surreal. The airbags didn't go off and thank the Lord, no one was injured. Our truck on the other hand was undrivable (but the engine was still running, Chad had to shut it off, so that was good). We'll probably have to replace the bumper, grill, the lights on that side, the side panel, the hood, the driver side door (Chad had to come out my side because he couldn't get the door open wide enough to get out), the wheel (which looked like it was broken in half) and the tire, not to mention any internal damage that we couldn't see. But also another praise (at least so far) is that the truck is still valuable enough for them to be able to complete the repairs without having to total the vehicle. The repair shop is still working on the estimate so we'll see about that one. Anyway, come to find out, apparently the truck in front of the suburban stopped suddenly (he left the scene after the accident) and the driver of the suburban slammed on the brakes (he didn't have ABS), went into a skid, lost control, and swerved into our lane. You could see his skid marks on the road come from his lane into ours. At first it seemed like it would be pretty cut and dry with the insurance companies but unfortunately, the other driver after finding out that he was going to be found at fault (and not the mystery driver in the truck) has proceeded to lie to his insurance company possibly taking something I had said in speculation after the accident (that the truck may have slammed on his brakes because the lane shift in the construction zone may have made it seem like we were coming towards him) and using it to make it seem like we were at fault too. I'm pretty confident that the insurance companies will get things figured out correctly but it's so difficult knowing that something I said could be potentially casting doubt over our integrity. I hate this feeling and it's killing me not knowing what's going on.
On a bright note, since we were ok, we were able to get a cab and then a rental car and still enjoy the weekend. If any of you are up in the Lancaster area of PA you should really try and catch a show at Sight and Sound. They do an incredible job. =o)

Blue Ribbon Winner
If I could brag on my hubby for a minute...Chad's picture of Miguel Tejada (a Baltimore Orioles player) on a rehab assignment playing for the Keys won a blue ribbon at the county fair. =o)
Emmie =o)
Emmie is finally starting to get hair. When she gets warm or it is humid outside she gets little curls around the back of her head. She gets that from her mommy. =o)
Swinging like a big girl
On Thursday night when we were gone, Emmie wore her Maryland jersey so that she could match Chad who was wearing his and watching the game at home. She also liked to "help" my Grandma water her plants. Her MiMi taught her how to do it at home.
Family
My cousin Dan and his girlfriend Kristen drove about 200 miles roundtrip in one day to see us and meet Emmie. (This was a couple days after they finished a cross country road trip from Vancouver to Toronto.) Was that sweet of them or what? =o)
Four Generations...such a special moment

We're still alive =o)
After a 2 month hiatus I figured it was time to post again. The past two months have been very busy but fun. Emmie and I took off for a week in September to visit my Grandma in Canada. That was a very fun trip (pictures to follow). It was fun seeing friends in Michigan and showing Emmie the places I went as a little girl. (Not that it made that big of an impression at this point in her life). Emmie did great on her first flight and even got to sit in her own seat for part of the time.
Chad and I are in the midst of starting up our own electrical business so that Chad can take over for his Dad in a couple of months. We're thankful for the opportunity to start things up with several clients already waiting in the wings.
Sorry this is so short but I want to post some pictures too......=o)

Birthday Girl
It's hard to believe that Emmie's been part of our family for one whole year already. It has been so much fun to watch her grow both physically and mentally. I love being the one she wants when she's scared or happy. It's amazing to see how much personality she has already. Happy Birthday Emmie! May God grant you many, many more birthdays in the joyful years to come!
The traditional cake-all-over the face pose. =o)
Is this what you're supposed to do with the box? Emmie has already learned how to slam dunk on her daddy.
We went to an O's game on her birthday. Temp at 7:05 pm: 101 degrees =o)
Emmie's name is the first one on the list. =o)
One thing I have to get used to with having a cute child is being on TV. So far all three minor league games we've been to Emmie's been on the big screen. This time we were walking into the game and the cameraman spotted us (aka Emmie) and in a flash was doing a close up of us to go on the regional game coverage (MASN for those of you who know). Unfortunately we weren't taping the game =( Ok, Ok so maybe I enjoy having and bragging about my cute kid. ;o)

7 things about me
Well, Elisa tagged me with this eons ago and I am just now doing it. I am such a blogging failure. =o) I'm not going to tag anybody mostly because everyone I know has already done it. Wait, I'm talking to Jenna right now and she still hasn't done it so I tag her. =o)
1. I actually look forward to doing my taxes each year and I do them by hand (not by computer).
2. I stayed up to 2 am three nights in a row to finish the last Harry Potter book.
3. I was a captain on my swim team in middle school.
4. I hate leaving dishes in the sink overnight.
5. One of my goals in life is to watch a ballgame at all 30 major league ballparks.
6. I've been to 30 States, 5 Canadian provinces, and halfway down the gulf side of Mexico. Now I just have to get across the ocean.
7. I have both American and Canadian citizenship.
Yeah!! I made it! Hopefully there was at least one thing in here you didn't know about me. =o)

Where's Emmie?
Peek-a-boo!
The Tupperware photos
Every child needs tupperware photos. I have mine, Chad has his, and I'm sure all of you have yours. Here are Emmie's. =o)
Hmmm.....which one to play with?
Ahhh...just right!
Have to dig deep for this one....
Perfect! It matches my eyes!

Since you last heard from us....
Emmie is now almost 11 months old. She's not quite 20 lbs and is just under 28 inches tall. A couple of days after my last post (which was right after she turned 9 months) Emmie started walking around. Within a week she had figured out how to stand up by herself and by all rights became fully engrossed in the toddler ranks. Crawling quickly became a thing of the past and just within the past week she has figured out how to walk backwards and "twirl" (walk) around in circles.
We joined the summer reading program at the library and have enjoyed reading books together for prizes. She got the biggest kick out of the larry boy sticker she "earned" from the librarian for completing the first list of activities in the program. Now granted while I want my daughter to enjoy reading, I must confess that my motives are not completely pure....I'm going to really enjoy using the coupon for the free ice cream cone from Chick-fil-a that comes in the little goody bag she received for participating. =o)
Well, since most of you would rather see pictures instead of reading my ramblings, I'll say good-bye for now so that I can post the pictures before Emmie wakes up.

Riding along in my automobile....
My baby beside me at the wheel....
This is how Emmie honks the horn on her new car.
She stands up and presses her belly against it to make it squeak.
When she's not driving, she's flying.... =o)
Thank you Hil, for introducing us to the wonderful world of mini pops.
Just the right size for little hands and mouths. =o)
To all those people out there who say Emmie looks like her daddy, you're right!
Now we all know what Chad would look like if he were bald. ;-)

Hickory, Dickory, Dock....
So the other afternoon I was sitting in our living room reading a book while Emmie played with her toys. I happened to glance over at the kitchen just in time to see a little brown streak scurry across the floor. Determined not to freak out, I slowly walked out into the kitchen to check if my eyes had been deceiving me. Now why I even bothered to look I'm not sure because there way no way I was going to get anywhere near to said rodent if I spotted it. So when Chad got home later in the day he set up mouse traps and checked them several times throughout the evening with no success. The next morning, just when I was beginning to think I had been seeing things, Chad's mom came down to let us know they had caught the little furball upstairs. Vindicated, I went throughout my day. Just when we were getting ready to leave to go somewhere, Chad calls out from the living room. "I see him!!" Chad proceeded to chase the mouse into our pantry where he (the mouse) hid for a few minutes and then came out and started to nibble the peanut butter on the mouse trap that Chad had set. Apparently, he was just a little baby mouse and therefore too small to set off the trap. Fortunatly, Chad was able to catch him and let him go outside. Hopefully, that will be the end of the mooses (as Chad calls them) for awhile. I can't see how they could like living inside when the have a cornfield right across the street to play in. =o)
In other news, Emmie had her 9 month doctor's visit today. She's a healthy 27.25 inches tall and 18.5 lbs, the 50th percentile for both for her age. This means that despite being able to down almost a whole hot dog in one sitting, she only gained a pound over the last 3 months. This is probably due to the fact that she is crawling all over the place now. She is standing very well by herself, is walking around when she has something to hold onto, and will even venture to take a step by herself now and then. Her favorite pastimes are climbing the 12 stairs up to MiMi and Poppy's house when mom or dad happen to leave the door open, "dancing" (holding her hands together and twisting side to side) when she hears music, and riding in her car outside (pictures coming soon).

In Honor of April 15th
Emmie saw Chad and I working on our taxes and so she decided to do a little bit of auditing on her own....
We'll just count these items up here.... (notice the standing on her own)
Ummmm....something is not adding up quite right
Have to pull out the calculater for this one....
There apears to be a serious problem here....

Time for my monthly post =o)
The past month has gone by so quickly I didn't even realize it had been that long since I last posted. Some of the highlights from this month are:
-Emmie is crawling all over the place now. The other day she was in the hallway in view of Chad and I while we were talking in the living room. Next thing we knew Emmie had disappeared down the hallway and into the bathroom (I had left the door open because I was in the process of putting away towels) where she was kneeling beside the toilet with her hands on the seat peaking into the bowl. Thankfully we caught her before anything more interesting happened.
-As soon as the crawling clicked in, the pulling up started. Emmie now enjoys pulling up on any object and letting go to see how long she can stand by herself. I think her record so far is 20 seconds.
-Emmie is becoming a little clingy now too. If she is tired or hungry, she follows me around the house making pitiful whimpering sounds until I pick her up and hold her. I took her to get pictures done a few days ago and unfortunately the only appointment they had open was right in the middle of her tired/hungry afternoon time. Therefore, it was a very short lived experience that resulted in one wide-eyed scared picture and a daughter that promptly started crying and crawling toward her mommy everytime she was set down. Needless to say, no pictures were purchased at the end of the session. But I must admit, it is a wonderful feeling to know that Emmie feels safe and protected in my arms.
-March was the month of Aunty visits. Emmie has a lot of real aunts and adopted aunts. First adopted Aunt Cami was up from Florida for a wedding and came to visit. Then just a few days ago, my sister Melody was out to visit from CA and she got to meet Emmie for the first time. Lots of fun there.
-Emmie's had a little bit of a stuffy nose the past week and just yesterday started coughing and sounding a little worse than before. So being to good mother that I am, I left her home with Chad for the afternoon and went shopping with Beth. We finally realized that we only live about an hour apart so if we meet at the outlet mall in the middle we can see each other and shop at the same time. Life is good.
-I've been walking a lot now that the weather is starting to warm up a little bit. 10 laps on the driveway is a mile so I try to do at least a mile a day. I usually push Emmie is the stroller. She enjoys the ride and usually falls asleep around lap 5. So not only do I get Emmie to take a nap, I'm able to work on my figure a little bit at the same time.
-I noticed yesterday while trying on clothes that walking has helped return my backside to my prepregnancy norm or even a little better. After notifying my wonderful husband of this news, he promptly replied that I should have bought the mirror in which I had made this observation. =o) I love my hubby. Actually, I found his remark pretty funny (he was just teasing) so no need to post comments in my defense. =o)
Until next month...=o) (but hopefully sooner)

Still growing....nothing outlasts Emmie....
Yes, Emmie Rose is six and a half months old already. At her last doctor's appointment she was 26.5 inches long and 17.5 lbs. Congrats to Tif for guessing her weight exactly the morning of without even seeing Emmie. Emmie has become quite mobile and enjoys army crawling/rolling all over the place and exploring. She has learned how to get herself back into a sitting position after she gets on her stomach to get something. It is so much fun watching her learn more and more each day. We went through a week of teething last week. Emmie now has her top front left tooth (to match to pair of front teeth she has on the bottom). When she got her two bottom teeth in she really wasn't that fussy so we thought we got off easy. Errr..Wrong answer. She was constantly whining for about 4 days straight and poor thing, it didn't help that she had her first cold too. So a sore mouth with a stuffed-up nose, that made for a few late/sleepless nights for all of us. But she's over her cold now, so she's been pretty happy the past few days. =o)

First Snowfall
We had our first small snowfall last weekend. Emmie found the snow to be interesting and cold. She wasn't too thrilled with the whole bundling-up process but she did like sledding down the driveway with her daddy.
Warm and toasty
