Here they are!!

I know most of us have wanted to see cute "bump" pics from Emily.  Well, since she's so tiny and not bumpish enough (in my opinion), the next best thing is to see what's inside!!  So drumroll please....................................



 This is an image of one of the girls sucking on the other one's ear.  Adorable, right?!

After a lot of thought on how we can get this blog to be fun and get everyone involved, it's been decided that we will start having a "spotlighted" person every couple of weeks.  Our first person (victim) is....

Carrie started at LBS in December 2011, and is a cousin to Heather!

Diane went out this morning to snap some pictures to share. From up close it's so beautiful to see the ice on the trees, but I'm sure not pretty to see it break their branches.

These pictures don't do it justice, but you can kind of get an idea of how thick the ice is on just about EVERYTHING here in this area. When my boys and I went out to try breaking some of the ice off our incredible blueberry bushes, the branches were breaking off with a 'snap' and so we decided to let nature take its course and hope for the best when all thaws out.

When Julie mentioned the snapping of the branches on these tall trees, it is an ominous sound with it being quiet outside and then you hear this CRRRAAACK! And then an avalanche of snow and ice cascading down through the trees. My son was out there when one came down about 5 feet in front of him and just covered him in all of this snow 'dust' and disappeared for a bit. It was hilarious.

Isn't this the way it seems most days?

There's two to wash, two to dry.

There's two who argue, two who cry.

There's two to kiss, two to hug.

And best of all, there's two to love!

Emily now has lots of little pink items to hang in the closet.

She was showered with pink and love from family and friends.

Luckily, Suzanne was able to attend and tattled that there were pics

so we could all be involved in the fun.

This is Suzanne and Emily with their adorable Grandma.

Three super beautiful ladies!!
