Time With Our Baby Girl!

The two big girls were so excited to be traveling with us to Colorado to see Katie and her sweet baby Emily!

Sometimes it's hard for the children at home to see a baby and to see the love she gets...

and to know it was not that way for them.

It makes them even more aware of what they have lost 

as a newborn, 

as an infant 

and as...

We can't get that time back 

But we can build from this time on.

We can include our treasures at home, in the joys of our growing family.

We can show them how to properly and safely play with and care for an infant.

So, that when they are all grown up they will have had experiences that will help them as adults.

It is soooo wonderful seeing our sweet baby girl!

We let too many weeks go by between visits. 

Emily has grown quite a bit since the beginning of September.

She is crawling now and full of constant smiles!

She has so much personality!

She can clap her hands!

And we just taught her to wave bye bye!

She is interested in EVERYTHING!

Including Nana's purse!

She loves her Daddy doll!

And she adores her Mommy!

Even when Mommy tries to confine her little explorer!

I have kissed every inch of her sweet face!

And I plan to do it all over again tomorrow!

She is amazed by the simplest things...

this time it's her hand that has caught her attention!

She thinks her Aunts are pretty awesome!

Emily loves to walk and her Aunt Sarah and Aunt Mia love helping her walk!

It's a perfect job for them with their young strong backs ;-)

We just figured out we left the girls backpack somewhere between here and the airport...

ugh...

UPDATE-

And the next day it showed up on the front porch of Katie's home!

YES!
Our God is just that amazing!

Thank you Chelsea!
