Growing Up Emma...She turns 2!!!


Happy 2nd Birthday
Emma Eloise!

Wow, my baby turns 2 today! Words cannot express the love and joy Shane and I feel for this kid! She is such blessing to our lives! Here are some things she loves and that she is doing now in no particular order:
-loves her mommy and daddy
-loves to dance and sing
-talks about Jesus and can point Him out in pictures and books, and knows the difference between just a book and the Holy Bible (don't know where she learned that!)
-is just a bubbly, happy kid!
-is really into babies, and baby dolls
-loves doing puzzles and is awesome at it!
-no longer likes her hair in pigtails or a ponytail, much to her mother's dismay
-really into Caillou, Mickey Mouse and even likes Thomas the Train
-is doing well with her colors and counting
-is speaking sentences
-has a stubborn streak :)
-really likes her new 'minivan' and always wants to go for a ride in it (she can see so much better out of it)
-still eats like a bird! she loves cheese, peas, popcorn, rice krispy treats
-loves books, always has!
-loves her tutus!
-she could spend all day outside and be completely content
-really likes to draw and color
The list could go, but thats all I can think of for now! Here are some pictures to sum up the last 2 years:

Our first family picture!


Didn't take long for daddy to fall in love!















Emma's 1st Birthday!

























This is still one of my most favorite pictures of Emma, taken on 09/3/09, the day she turned 1!

Right now, we are in Nebraska for the weekend. Emma woke up to balloons and presents on the table and was super excited to see them! I have lots of pictures to share from her birthday and will do so when we return home!

We love you, Emma!

What a special post!! I bet it was impossible to choose from your pictures from the past two years. She is just so beautiful! I was thinking about you guys all day and hoping that you're having a great time at home! Her present is in the mail, so hopefully it will be there when she gets home. We love you guys!
