Friday Fish Fries

We've been loving the Knights of Columbus fish fries this Lent.

The fish is delicious, but these guys (and let's be honest, all of us) are drawn in by the dessert table.

One Month Pictures

Emma's stickers came! Unfortunately she is battling her first case of the sniffles, so she wasn't quite her happy self for these pictures.

These two wanted in on the action too.

One Month

I have no idea how we're already here, but Emma is one month old today! She has brought so much joy to our family in the last month. So far she seems to be a pretty laid back little girl. She sleeps well and eats well and is quite the little day-brightener. I think we'll keep her.

Her month stickers are taking  f o r e v e r  to get here in the mail, so we had a sticker-less photo shoot today. Look for her picture with her one month sticker in the next couple days!

Modeling is exhausting!

Our Saturday

Fun at Grandpa Mike's farm, lunch and ice cream at Bogey's in Hutch, some resting, and a very sweet little bear outfit

Little Bears

Spring!

Happy first day of Spring!

And happy three weeks to Miss Emma.

Emma's Baptism

Emma was baptised yesterday afternoon! She had a beautiful ceremony with lots of family members in attendance and a fun get-together at our house afterwards. Uncle Jordan and Aunt Maria are her godparents, and Natalie and Max got to participate in the ceremony too, which was extra special. Emma's baptismal gown was made by my great-grandma and is the same dress that both Natalie and I were baptised in.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

More Emma

As I'm sure you can tell, we're having a horrible time over here snuggling sweet Emma all day. We live a hard life.

Teepee!

Grandpa Mike surprised Max with this teepee yesterday! His bank was having a drawing for it, and they asked him if he had any grandchildren to enter in the drawing. Instead of entering all twelve grandchildren, he entered one name per family, and Max won!

We made headdresses and drums, and the kids made some beautiful music inside the teepee yesterday. Today we read our stack of library books inside of it. Thanks, Grandpa!

Two Weeks

Emma is two weeks old already! Time is absolutely flying. I'm getting a bit sentimental about the fact that she's no longer my teeny 7 pound baby. She weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces at the doctor this morning. I'm so proud of her for eating and growing so well, but I'm not quite ready to put the newborn clothes away just yet.

Story Time

Twins

Natalie and Emma wore matching outfits today. Dressing them alike just might be my new obsession.

Emma's Newborn Photos

Emma's newborn pictures took some work because she really didn't want to stay asleep, but these sweet pictures were absolutely worth the work. I'm so so happy to have this precious but oh so fleeting time with our tiny girl captured in these beautiful pictures. 

It took me a while, but I think I was finally able to choose some favorites for this post. You can see all of the pictures on Pam's blog.
