Baby Emma

On September 26th Amy and Jon welcomed their new daughter, Emma Leann, into the world. She is very sweet and such a precious addition to their family.

Josh and I went to visit Emma a few hours after she was born. I forget so quickly how it feels to hold a newborn!

Goodbye Party

Wow, this was a long time ago~ September 18th! I'm going to try to get back into blogging after taking a few months off. We'll see how quickly I can get "caught up" or if I will even try. I might skip ahead to December and fill in the missing pieces later on. We'll see (:

This night was a lot of fun. We met together to say goodbye to our friend, Missi, which was sad, but hanging out together (without all of our kiddos) was great. Aunie hosted the event and we all brought appetizers and desserts to share.

Becca and I arrived separately and when we saw each other we realized that we were wearing the exact same shirt! How embarrassing (: Everyone had a good laugh about it.

Here's the same group shot, except I took the picture so that Mom could be in it (:
