5 Months & 4 Years




So, Emma turned 5 months, and we celebrated our 4th anniversary! We can't believe how quickly both came! Emma is such a big girl these days sleeping on her side and tummy (which Mommy and Daddy get too nervous about!), working very hard to crawl, "talking" up a storm, and getting into everything possible! We often refer to her as our "ADD baby". She doesn't miss a thing unless she is out cold! She is starting to wear us out as she is somewhat mobile and extremely eager to be completely mobile, and therefore, gets frustrated with Mommy and Daddy when we don't help her mobility...watch out when she does master this crawling thing! We celebrated our anniversary with a date night to see Ocean's 13 and dinner out while Emma stayed behind with Gran and Granddaddy. It was a wonderful evening together as we reminisced about our first 4 years and wondered about the next 4...hoping our lives won't change as drastically in the next 4. Although, we are very happy with where the change has taken us in life, so maybe that wouldn't be bad??? We are so thankful the Lord has blessed us with so much life together and pray for much more to come!

Happy Anniversary! Glad you guys got to get away and celebrate and reflect. It's so crazy to imagine us 4 and 5 years ago. Wow! It almost scares me to think of the next 4 :)

Thanks to both of you! It is wonderful with a little one as long as we have babysitters so we can get out!! : ) What's scary is that we weren't even in college anymore 4-5 years ago!
