This picture was taken an Grandpa and Grandma's house when the kids were visiting (probably on a youth group night). They always get very excited to visit them of course. Also, selfishly, I love it when they run up to us after the evening and say 'mommy, daddy!'. I am with them so much I don't get to hear that as much as Alan does when he comes back from work.

Emmy is now 1 yr and 4 mo old. She is our climber. Have I ever mentioned that before? :) She also loves to eat. She eats about as much as Isaiah does in two sittings (he says he has too many fun things to do other than sit there and eat more than 5 bites). Thankfully, Emery still likes to eat her meat and vegetables. We will see how long that lasts

This is what Isaiah would rather be doing. Playing with cars, trains, jungle animals...and the list goes on. He is a very hands off kid when it comes to the Dr and Dentist. Last year it was torture to try and let the Dr just listen to his heart or look in his ears. Just last week though, Isaiah sat in the chair like a perfect little angel while the dental hygienist looked at his teeth, and then again a few days later when he had to get his finger pricked to check his iron. I was amazed at how much he has grown and matured. He handled himself very well and I was a proud Mommy. I think he knows it because I told him many times :)
