Sorry it's been awhile...

Emmy tried the helmet thing, but it didn't last.



Super Bowl Sunday...Luke's helmet.

Emmy the flower.
Luke the dinosaur.
Lily the duck all smiles...see her teeth?
Peek a boo!


I walked into his room, his door was shut. Emmy was reading a Clifford book to Luke (one of his favorite series as of late.) Luke looked at me and said, "Blow away Mommy." I asked him, did you say "Go away?" He said, "No, BLOW AWAY." Fine, I get the point.


This picture is just for you Char.
Spaghetti mouth. Isn't she pretty?

Lily learning how to eat herself. I have given up on bibs officially. I just do the laundry ALL the time.

Lils new hair. It's getting in her eyes now, but baretts don't really stay in yet - and she doesn't stay still long enough for me to do pig tails.
Ya, she's a chunk.

So, to be an excuse queen - I'm pregnant people and that's why I'm being so far and few between with my posts. Anyway, as for me...I'm supposedly 13 weeks along. Whatever, I'm not holding my breath on that date - either should you.
Luke, Emmy, and Lily are all doing well. Luke and Emmy are becoming more and more fun, and more and more of a handful each day. Their little personalities are coming out.
Emma has definitely taken the roll of oldest child. She parents Luke and Lily constantly, repeating what I say and what I'm assuming is the tone I use (holy cow, if I sound like that, I wouldn't listen to me either!) She is talking so well now, and often says full sentences that actually make sense. "I love you Mom/Dad" and "Get out of my room, Luke!" are her two new most used sentences.
Luke is all boy and loves to jump off everything and climb on everything. He is in love with Daddy and is such a sweet, compassionate boy (when he thinks about it.) Today, Lily sneezed and Luke looked at her and said, "Bless you." I was very proud of him! On Wednesday night last week, Luke and his girlfriend Elizabeth were giving each other a hug and Luke went in for the (normal) kiss, and Elizabeth put her hand up and said, "NO! My daddy said I can't kiss boys." Luke looked at her like she was nuts so he went back in for the kiss, and Elizabeth put her hand up once again, and said, "NO! My daddy said no!" Luke looked at me a little confused, but he was okay with it. It was pretty hilarious.
Lily is a handful. She definitely holds her own. She is VERY stubborn, VERY loud, VERY funny and she knows it. She loves to eat like the twins did when they were her age. My friends Honey and Billi who have girls within 2 and 3 weeks of Lily wrote how much the girls weighed. They were 20.5 and 21 pounds. Lily is a good, solid 28 pounds. I guess we don't grow them small! Anyway...I really need to get some naked pics of all her rolls. It's quite hilarious.
Dave and I are doing well. Dave is braving the lay off storm and how it is affecting his job. He's pulling through though, and his store is actually growing again (thanks to taxes and everyone wanting new tv's)
Well, enjoy the pictures.
