Happy Birthday, Mom!

Heather celebrated her 37th birthday this year... only two days after Emily was born!  That Emily is walking on thin ice by moving in on Mom's birthday!

Happy Birthday, Heather!


The best thing about birthdays are the cupcakes!


Yum!

Hanging Out Around the House

Here are some photos of Emily hanging out around the house with her family during her first week at home!

Picnic in the sunroom... but where's Emily?!


Ahhh... sleeping in the corner...


At least she has Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella to keep her company...


And, of course, Alyssa...


Screaming...

Doing the sprinkler... she learned that one from her brother Joshua!


Sitting on the couch?!


What a show-off!


Watching her first ND game!  Go Irish!  She may have high expectations after this season!

Homecoming!

After a day in the hospital, Emily was ready to come home!  Little did she know what she was getting in to... otherwise she may have taken advantage of an extra day of peace and quiet!

I'm ready to go home!

Safety first... Emily buckled in to her car seat...


Ready to go!


Welcome home... this is the garage floor!


Joshua took it upon himself to head up the welcoming committee...

Emily's Professional Photo Debut!

A professional photographer stopped by to take some pictures of Emily before she went home from the hospital.  Not a bad idea... and how could you not buy them?!  Here they are...
