Emma turns 2!

Yes, our sweet Emma turned 2 on November the 6th. These past 2 years have flown by, and she never ceases to amaze us. Her smile could light up a room. Her laugh is contagious. She's the smartest, cutest, and most precious thing ever - yes, we're a little biased! We enjoyed a nice evening home with the family. Her day started off with a party in her bedroom!
She sang "happy birf-day" to herself - too cute!

Here's our new Betty Crocker! G&G W gave Emma her very first kitchen, and Aunt Donna and Uncle John completed the gift with a darling apron/hat/mit set! She could play for hours. And yes, she's wearing heals while she cooks...She's going to make some man very happy someday!

Emma's 2 year stats: 34lbs(97%) and 35 inches(90%)
Her projected height based on her 2 year eval - 5'10!

Happy Halloween!

The girls and the pumpkin
We traveled to Bryan, Ohio to visit our dear friends The Elden's this year for Halloween. Emma and Parker are 1 mos apart, and Mason and Kate are about 4 mos apart. We decided to go with a Wizard of Oz theme this year. We had a wonderful visit.

Moved In

Yes, and "there's no place like home." Our family has definitely appreciated this statement over the past few weeks as we've moved into our new home! We officially moved into our home October 24th. It was a smooth (but busy) transition. Dad W has been our general contractor. Dad Z was our super mover. Both of our Mom's helped by packing/unpacking, cleaning, bringing food, and providing much needed emotional support! Rebecca was our personal organizer. Kate just rolled with the punches and she enjoyed spending time with Aunt Bec. Emma went on a mini-vacation to Aunt Kim's. She loved going to the pumpkin patch and spending time with her cousins. We couldn't have done it without our family.
Some of our new neighbors stopped by to welcome us! This is about 3 feet from our window!

Rub-a Dub Dub

Kate and her thumb
Step 1: Clean Kate then clean Emma. Emma is Mommy's little helper!
Step 2: Wrap girls up in their towels, apply lotion and get PJs on.

Step 3: Everyone gets on our bed and we watch Wonder Pets before going to bed!

Crazy week!

What a busy week! John and I closed on our house this past Monday. Its a great house, and we are excited to make it our home! John and his Dad, our personal contractor :) have been busy already! We have possession of our current home until 10/25 - so we have our work cut out for us! On Wednesday, I headed back to work - tear, tear, tear. I am blessed to have such wonderful ladies to take care of my girls. The same ladies who took care of Emma are now with Kate, what more could I ask for? Both girls adjusted beautifully, much harder for me. John is a huge help in the morning, and teamwork is our key to success!

Yes, I ventured in to the big "three-O" and haven't looked back! :) On Saturday we celebrated at Buca di Beppo with the whole family. It was a fun night out! And then on Sunday, we celebrated with a Bengals win over Pittsburgh! The best gift - we sold our house in 2 weeks!
