Happy Birthday Emmett

Emmett turned one yesterday! I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. We had some special family and friends over to help celebrate....

Emmett's First Haircut

Emmett went in for his first haircut on Tuesday. As you can see, it was definitely time! He was a champ and sat so nicely. He seems so much more grown up with those trimmed locks. Since we were already at the salon we decided to get a "real" haircut for Eli too. Shane has been buzzing his at home for the last year, but I'm hoping to have it a little longer for his big debut as a ringbearer in Melissa's (Shane's little sister) wedding next month.

Happily Ever After

Ten years ago today, I walked down the aisle and into the arms of the man of my dreams. He's still the man of my dreams. It's no wonder I believe in happily ever afters...I wake up to my every morning.

January Update

I may go down as the world's worst blogger! I confess to being totally behind in posting to blog, putting pictures in albums, Eli's baby book...when they are 18, I might catch up!

So, just a few pictures for you until I can post a "real" post!

Here, there, everywhere...

By the title of this post, I am mostly referring to my ability to maintain a train of thought or complete a task. Paired with trying to get our new computer and camera (yes, it was a very Merry Christmas!) figured out, I'm slogging through way too many uploads, downloads, reloads, to keep current on anything. With that I give you a few updated pictures from the past two weeks. (Someday, I'll download the pictures of the old camera on here too.) PS...sorry for the sideways pictures! I tried to rotate them 3 times and have no idea why it won't work this time.

Flower Power!

Just a quick update about Twig & Vine, my little special events florist business. Things are going well! I already have 2 weddings booked for late spring and am busy working on holiday bouquet orders now. I just delivered 14 arrangements to Poppyseed's. It is the coolest little vintage shop EVER! All of the bouquets are available for sale during their Holiday Open House this weekend. I've got my fingers crossed that they'll actually sell and am also hoping they'd be willing to continue displaying and selling this month. We'll see how it goes!

Smart Little Cookie!

Eli has been amazing me with the things he can do lately! He's been very interested in his name and the letters in his name. So of course he asks me to write it all the time. Yesterday he was playing away with his blocks and exclaimed, "Look Mom! I made my E!" Not only had he made his E, he had written his entire name (except for the dot on the i, which I helped with.) Of course I think he is one smart little cookie!

Last week, I made some crescent rolls and Eli wanted to make his own. With a little help rolling out the dough and cutting, this is what he came up with! He knew just how to roll them to make them look like the big ones.
