Birthday Surprise

Saturday was my birthday, and it was a beautiful day. Emma woke me up to her great smile and giggles. Rob let my birthday be about me-what I wanted to do was what we did-pretty much just spend the day together. I had many Happy Birthday calls. They were all special but the best ones were from Nate, Matty and Anna-Grace. Later in the day Emma, Rob and I took off for Nana and Goddy's. Nana was preparing a feast of my choice. We were having eggs, bacon, potatoes, and pancakes-yummy! About the time that we were going to begin cooking a loud honking sound came from the driveway. To my surprise (yes-Nana and Goddy kept a secret) the Ray's (Nate, Matty, Meme and Brian) drove down from northern va just for me. Nate made the request because to him they just couldn't miss my birthday party-isn't he great. My whole day was perfect.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Dinner with The Boteler's

This past Thursday we met the Boteler's at Kathy's for dinner. It was a nice surprise and a great visit. Anna-Grace got to see her Nana and Goddy and her baby Emma. Oh, of course she also got to see her Uncle Rob and Aunt Tef-Tef.

Snowy Day!

It finally snowed. I have patiently waited for this day. I think Rob and I were more excited than Emma was. She gave us one good smile, crawled around for about 1 minute, and finally had enough in about 3 minutes.



Nana & Goddy Time

Emma's new sound is na-na-na-na. Nana really feels special. Rob is patiently waiting to hear da-da-da-da!



Emma's new thing is to give you a big kiss. Isn't Goddy lucky and look at Emma's grin. She is so happy!

A beauty pagent wave!
