Snow, Snow, Snow!

We were blessed with a snow day this past week! Jordan worked from home and it was wonderful! Mid-morning we started the process of getting 7,000 layers of clothes on, 6 gloves, 6 hats, and  6 snow boots!

We got everyone dressed and made them smile for a picture for a very special reason.....it's our last snow day in this house!

We sold our house before it was ever officially on the market! It happened pretty fast, so needless to say this has been THE busiest and craziest winter of our lives! But, back to the snow.....

These boys know how to have fun in the snow! They loved it! 

Meanwhile inside, Emma Kate hung out with daddy while he worked!

We cut the fireplace on when everyone was done playing and I made hot chocolate and they all warmed up! It was a fun day to spend together inside! 

3 Months.....

Well, Emma Kate turned 3 months this week. In a way, it seems to have flown by but as usual I just can't remember her not being here. 

I am so biased, but she is so stinkin' sweet and cute to boot! I have gotten a few almost laughs this week so I think we are close. We definitely get sweet smiles all day long and they just melt my heart! 

The boys are still just smitten with her. I could lose count of how many kisses and hugs she gets everyday from them! We all just love her so! So far she seems pretty chill but does like to be held! She likes tummy time, is a great nurser, and stopped sleeping great after she was diagnosed with the flu last week. She pulled through with the help of Tamiflu so I hope we are all on the mend around here! Happy 3 Months, Emma Kate! We love your squishy, sweet smile!

2 Months!

Today Emma Kate is 2 months old! It seems fast in a way, but then it seems kind of slow as well. Because it's winter we really haven't been anywhere at all. I'm still not back at church yet so everything feels a bit out of the ordinary.

This week Emma Kate really gave us some great social smiles!

It doesn't get any better than waking up to smiles all of a sudden. I've just been melting inside all week every single time she does it!

I think because I had all boys, it does feel different in a way to have a girl. It's not something you can really explain, it just feels different in some way! She sure is a blessing to us....John Michael enjoyed reading to her this week. They all sure do love her but I think she holds a special place in his heart!

So far she can coo and make "a-goo" sounds and "a-boo" sounds. She's generally sleeping through the night (let me tell you I am in SHOCK over this). She's a fantastic nurser and likes to sleep in in the mornings; just like her mom ;)

She really has changed a good bit over the month!
