Swinging with Papa

It's official...we are the proud owners of a mini-van!

Today we bought a 2005 Toyota Sienna. Because our car was totaled in the car accident we had to get a new vehicle. We were planning on purchasing a car when we were through with seminary but God had other plans. We are excited about our new van and it drives beautifully! It is official now, we are a mini-van driving family (we are so uncool)! :)

Thank you Jason & Conner...

...for watching Andrew so we could go on a MUCH needed date! After being with Andrew all by myself in FL and then coming home to the craziness to finding a car and having Andrew again by myself for another week, Matt and I needed some time alone- BAD! Thanks to our dear friends Jason & Conner because we were able to enjoy a dinner and movie date.

We went and saw, Slumdog Millionaire and we LOVED it! Go see it!

I had to post a picture of the beautiful flowers my honey got me. These were on the table when I returned from being in Florida. Let's just say, Matt REALLY missed his wife and son.

One of my mom's crazy ideas...

...putting gel in Andrew's hair.

Ballerina Grace

Now that I am home from FL it is time to post picture from my visit.

Look at the birthday girl in her ballerina outfit, just plain adorable!

9 months

Here is my sweet boy at 9 months (almost). He is the best thing that has happened to Matt and me. We love him more than we can express. We praise the Lord daily for blessing us with this sweet boy.
We got these picture taken today. More to come later...

Happy Birthday my sweet Niece Grace!

Grace turned one today! I can not believe a year has gone by since I was talking to my sister on the phone the night her first baby was born. What a joy she is to all of us!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet Grace! We love you!
~Aunt Emily, Uncle Matt & Cousin Andrew
