Saturday - Visit with the Fisher Family

We packed up to head home on Saturday morning. We had a great visit. We stopped by my friend Stuart's for a visit with her kids, Hayes (2) & Kendall & Bennett (8 months). The girls are 3 weeks younger than Emma. It was so fun to get together and see our children play. Who would have thought all those years ago over being sweetmates in college, here we are today. :) More pictures to come....

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful this year!!! Emma brings us so much joy and love, there is no words to even begin to describe how happy she makes our lives. Just seeing one of her many smiles a day, makes my entire day. It is so amazing how this time last year she was all nestled in my stomach, and being so excited to meet her in just a few months. And now... wow, her fun personality has all of us whipped!

We spent Thanksgiving with my parents this year, it has been over 5 years since I had been home for the holiday. With Courtney always having to work holidays before, we would take day trips to his family's house, so it was nice to be able to go home this year. Emma entertained all of us over the few days. My Dad especially was amazed she can say 'Duck'. She was calling everyone and everything duck. And Emma really took a liking to all the Stafforshire dogs around their house, every time she would pass one she would get so excited and just laugh and talk to them. Love her!

We started the day by watching the annual Turkey Trot Race. Every year part of the course runs past my parents house, so they go out and cheer on the runners every year. This year we went down the road to the Hannan's to cheer with them!

Emma did eat with us at the table, and had first few bites of turkey, and some apple sauce and sweet potatoes. She wanted more! We had such a fun day.....


Time in the "Rock Rock" - this was actually my Mom's when she was a baby (Uncle Ray gave the rock rock to my Mom)

Guess who stand up in her crib now???

Miss Emma has no figured out how to stand up in her crib! It first happened last Friday when Pam/Nana was in town watching Emma (helping Courtney while I traveled for work). Pam walked in to get Emma from her nap, and alas she was standing!! And boy, she has it down now....and is standing up most of the time now. The girl is on the move, always busy (wonder where she gets that from!?!?!) :-)


Busted! She is now standing waiting for us to come and get her...What a classic look on her face, ha


So cute.

Christmas Pictures with the Bass Family in Nashville

This year it was over at the Cooley Manor (a historic home) in Nashville (across the street from Mama's house (Pam's moms). Here are a few pictures of our little sweet girl in one of her several Christmas dresses!!
