Two Month Doctor Appointment

Emmie had her two month doctor's appointment on Monday. She now weighs 12 lbs 2 oz and is 23.5 inches long! She is growing like a weed! She also had to have her two months shots (3 shots and one drink). I was not prepared for how hard this would be for me. I knew she would cry but nothing can prepare you for the heartache you feel when your little one is screaming her head off in pain. Praise the Lord she did not cry for long and fell asleep on the way home. Needless to say I told Ryan he can take her for her next shots!

On another note here are some more pics of our little girl. This is one of the first dresses we bought for her when we found out we were having a girl...it finally fits!

Friends

This last weekend we got to visit with our great friends Jeff and Kelli! It was so much fun. We really miss them but take joy in the new things God is doing in their lives! We love you guys!

Officially a Stay at Home Mom!!

For those of you who haven't heard, Ryan got a new job! He is now working for Lincare, a medical equipment company. Our friend Robert has been working here in the Kerrville office, but is transferring back to San Antonio. Ryan is taking over his position here. This has been such a blessing to us. It has enabled me to stay at home with Em which is something that Ryan and I have been praying about for quite some time. It has been the desire of both of our hearts for me to stay at home with our children and it has been so awesome to see God move to enable this to happen!

Thanks to everyone who has been praying along with us in this!

Go Longhorns!

Meeting her Aunt Lisa

My best friend Lisa and her fiance John drove in to meet Emery a couple weekends ago. We had a blast hanging out and can't wait to get together again!

Texas Girl

Yes she does love the Longhorns as much as her daddy. Here are pics from her first UT game. Don't worry we only took about 80 pics of her in her Longhorn outfit.

Our talking girl

Well Emmie is talking up a storm, but it has been hard to catch it on video. Every time she sees the camera she stops talking and stares at the camera. She does love watching herself on the screen though!

Here is the little bit of video I was able to capture.

First Video

This is the first video of Emmie. This was taken about an hour and a half after she was born. She was already making faces at us (just a glimpse of all the faces she would be and will be making at us!). She is such a joyful gift from God. It is truly amazing to see how much love you can have for someone! As the Bible says, "we love because He first loved us." Having a child gives us just a glimpse of how much God loves us!

Our sweet little girl

Emery Joy was born July 14th at 12:56pm. She weighed 7 lbs 6oz and was 20.5 inches long. I had a blessed delivery and appreciate all of the prayers for us!
