Micah was watching tv the other day and I sat Emmie down by him while I got our shoes ready to walk to the park. Emmie decided she wanted to hold his hand. Honestly, she grabbed his hand! She loves him so much and is entertained by just watching him or touching him!

My sister is here over Thanksgiving and the kids love playing with her. Emmie is working on sitting up, she actually does really well. She can sit unsupported for a short amount of time but she's getting better everyday.

Playing with editing pictures

I am still sorting through the pictures from our photo shoot last week. I think these two pictures are the last two for now. We'll be taking more pictures soon as we are both enjoying learning to take pictures with our new toy...I mean camera!

New thing...

Micah has a "new thing", he loves standing on his bed while we use Emmie's legs to kick him down. Both kids die laughing and we usually laugh too. Both kids can spend a long time playing this new game. Micah of course is talking the whole time narrating everything which sounds something like "Emmie is kicking me down, do it again".

And of course just for fun, a picture of our little jumper Emmie with Casey.

We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday, we cooked a traditional meal and everything was wonderful. My sister is here for the holiday and we're having a great time visiting and playing. I'm sure the time off will pass too quickly, but at least we'll have had lots of fun!

Emmie in the grass

Here is Emmie's first experience laying in the grass. We might be biased but we sure think she's cute!

We bought a new camera this weekend as an early Christmas present. Here is a quick picture/photo shoot. This also her first bow, I can't wait for the cute hair accessories to come.

Below is a picture of Micah...I'm still learning my new camera and photoshop...you can look forward to new pictures soon!

Jumping

We borrowed a jumperoo from some friends for Emmie to use. Here she is on the inaugural session, she loves it!! The video is Micah showing Emerson how to jump and for some reason she thought it was really funny! It was also cute because he shook her hand at the end and said nice to meet you...random.

As a side note, I am now using a site called flickr to host the pictures for the blog because I can upload the full image and there's no limit to how many pictures I can save. If you click on the pictures it will take you to our flickr album and you can see all of the pictures we've uploaded, it will also allow you to download the full version, you can save it or print it.

Smiley little girl!

Here is Emmie last week giving me another huge smile! She is such a happy little girl but the funny thing is that she usually doesn't laugh, I just get a big open mouth smile.
Emmie got to spend her weekend with her Granna & Da. They were leaving on a cruise and stopped by here on the way to visit for a day. Emmie is just starting to realize the difference between Mom & Dad and strangers, when they first got here she was tired and was unsure of anyone but mom & dad. After a day or so, she decided they were okay and actually fun! Micah of course loved having his Granna & Da around to entertain him and was sad to see them go. We're all excited for Christmas so we can spend a lot of time with family!

The beginning of November

November has started with an exciting start!! I'm an aunt again! My brother and his wife, Amy welcomed a sweet little girl early in the morning on Nov. 1st. Her name is Ava Holt Garrison and she is an adorable mix of the two of them. I can't wait to meet her and am sad at how big she'll be before I'll hold her. Here are a few pictures of her.


Now on to my own cute little kids! Just when I think Micah can't get any weirder he does something like this...hiding in Zac's closet wearing ONLY a towel! Who knows why he did it but he thought he was so funny!


Another strange day...Micah had a small "baton" he was playing with. It was made of very soft wood that broke very easily, so he ended up with 4 pieces of his baton. That wasn't too strange...the strange part was when he put the pieces into the holes in his crocs.
Here is the silly boy:
And of course, what update would be complete without a least one picture of Emerson. Here she is with her doting Daddy wearing her first pair of leggings. In case you don't know, leggings are back in style and Emmie is at the cutting edge of fashion.

Last but not least...introducing our newest family member, Gil. Gil is a blueish-purple beta fish. We bought him at the store last night and got him a bowl, plant and rocks to decorate the bowl. Micah likes feeding the fish and watching him swim. Don't worry, the food and the fish are not within Micah's reach. Zac helped Micah name the fish, Micah's suggestions were baby fish and Mommy. Here is the proud owner of the new fish:
