Where has the time gone

I have been thinking a lot about the last three years and how much things have changed.  I guess it is because Emmalyn will be three in just a couple of months.  Three years ago, at this time I was still pregnant and wondering if I was having a boy or a girl. 

Then I had a wonderful surprise 7 weeks earlier then expected (November 8, 2007), Emmalyn decided that she just couldn't wait any longer to meet her family. 

Because she was so early she had to spend a couple of weeks in the hospital before we got to take her home.  The outfit I had bought to bring her home in was way to big so I ended up going to the hospital gift shop and buying a little preemie outfit, which was still too big for her.  She was also so tiny that we had to put a face cloth between her legs and a towel above her head so she would fit in her carseat. 

 The next few weeks went by so fast, she slept a lot and was such a good baby.

Then we came her first Christmas., she was only 7 weeks old (yes my original due date was Dec 25).

                                                                                           


After a long day it was time for a nap.

Busy Week

We have had a busy couple of weeks.  Emmalyn was sick for a few days with a horrible frog cough, it just made me so sad, but thankfully she is feeling much better now.  The weather has been raining and cold here and it might snow tonight, not looking forward to that possibility.  We had our house appraised and are going to do some renovations in the hopes that we will sell and move to a nicer neighbourhood, so watch for before and after pictures.

The other day Emmalyn and I were playing around waiting to go out for the day and she let me take a picture of the two of us, so thought I would share.

I love that she has long hair and I get  play with it all the time.  She is so good at sitting while mommy tries different styles.

Corn Maze Fun

Today we spent a wonderful day outside. The weather was perfect, not to hot and not to cold.  We went to a corn maze that is located just out of town. There are two corn mazes, a petting zoo, and lots of other fun things. We ventured into the smaller of the two corn mazes and had fun letting the kids tell us which directon to go.  Here are a few pictures from the day.
