Happy Father's Day!

Emma throwing a fit

Emma and Daddy - 2 days old
The first time Bryan held Emma

Emma wanted to tell Daddy Happy Father's Day! I just want to tell Bryan that he is an amazing father and husband and can't wait to watch how he grows with Emma. We love you! I also wanted to post the poem that I had put on Bryan's frame. I thought it was so appropriate being his father's day.

My Daddy's Hand

Daddy, Take my hand in yours and you will plainly see,

How very much I need you now to love and care for me.

As my little hand grows, I will need you even more,

Everything I do in life, I have never done before.

Teach me to be kind and loving, sharing and forgiving,

Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living.

The years will pass by quickly and one day I will be grown,

I will pass what you have taught me onto children of my own.

Hold me always in your thoughts and remember when we are apart,

The special love between a child and a daddy's heart.

Bryan and I would also like to wish our Dads a Happy Father's Day and same to all the other dads out there.

Lazy Thursday

We spent the day lying around the house since it was so humid. We did however go outside for an hour and play in the pool and let Lilly run around. Here are a couple of pics from the pool. I promise to post more pics this weekend.

Here are a couple of pics of the house with the landscaping and some of the Lillies blooming. We didn't really know what the plants were since we didn't move into the house until late June last year and there was drought.

7 months today!

7 months today and sitting in my rocking chair that was mommy's
my carrot mustache that daddy and i made while he fed me 
playing in my pool in the backyard, just checking out the views
mommy couldn't resist. asleep with my silky.
all smiles for my first bath in the big girl tub
holding silky and watching mommy and daddy get ready for work
being a silly girl
just like my shirt reads, too sweet
playing in the floor with daddy. 
helping read the instructions to daddy for my new carseat.

It is hard to believe but our little girl is 7 months today. Time just keeps flying and she keeps getting bigger and learning new things. She sat in my old rocking chair that my dad restored for her today for the first time and even move to rock herself. She took a bath in the big girl tub for the first time this week and we have had to get a bigger carseat for her. We keep trying to encourage her to crawl but she would rather be standing and trying to walk so who knows what she will do first. We do know she is ready to chase Lilly. Emma started showing interest in a sippy cup this week so we are now working with that as well. We can't go anywhere nor can she fall asleep without having silky in her hand. We have a busy next month coming up. Bryan's mom will be watching Emma for a little while this coming Saturday so we can celebrate our 1 year anniversary.  At the end of June it is off to Laurel Fork Park for a family vacation with Bryan's family and then 2 weeks later it is off to the beach for family vacation with my parents and niece. We know people will be traveling alot over the next few weeks and we wish everyone safe travels and good luck to Andy, Alisa and Michael on the upcoming birth of Kate in July.
