Christmas Time

wow, time really does go by fast. I can't believe it is almost Christmas. The last month has been pretty hectic.  Between the paper route and trying to get ready for Christmas we have kept ourselves super busy. 

 I have started to learn how to sew some things. I am very exited to learn. I made my first blanket and finished it today. Eleasha has been helping me along the way. The blanket is a really cute with butterflies and little butterfly ribbon. I love it!!! 

Grandma White was diagnosed with cancer about a month or so ago.  She started chemo therapy and then came down with pneumonia and passed away early this morning. It is hard to believe she is the only Grandma that we ever really knew growing up. She loved us very much and we loved her too. I am glad she is in a better place now. But it does make me sad that in the last days I couldn't afford to get down there to say goodbye and have her meet EmmaLynn.. I am grateful for the plan of happiness, and to know that someday I will be able to see her and she will be able to meet EmmaLynn.  I just want my kids to know what a kind and sweet lady she was! 

EmmaLynn is growing so fast. She just started clapping her hands recently and trying to copy me when i say "yay EmmLynn" .   She LOVES playing with Keely and Jarrin and Christian. They have a lot of fun with her too. Just the other day Jarrin put EmmaLynn in a little dolly cart and was pushing her around. she totally loved it. I will have to post pictures of that! She also loves stairs climbing up them... She doesn't know how to get down them yet... She has only taken a fall once so far. So that is where we are and life keeps moving... 

Merry Christmas to all! 

Coeur d'Alene

Well here we are in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. We spent 2 years in Boise. It was a great time, however circumstances with Dan's job situation left us looking again. So here we are getting back on our feet and going again. Thanks to my in-laws we do have a place to stay.  The good news is, Dan has found a job here. We are looking into more permanent type jobs and schooling. The Airforce is what he would really like to do. I think it would be a lot of fun to do that! I have always wanted to travel and see the different parts of the world. Sounds like an adventure! For now we are getting our life in order and getting back on our feet. I am going to be starting a paper route in the mornings..... (heaven forbid) I am definitely not a happy person at that hour of the morning... I think it will be good though, it will allow me to be home with my adorable baby girl, and not have to worry about who is taking care of her! So here we are!

 EmmaLynn is growing so fast she is going to be 9 months this December and just today I felt she started to get her first tooth in.. I didn't even realize that she was working on it... she hasn't been really crabby or anything. She was sleeping quite a bit yesterday though.  I can't believe how fast she has grown.  It has been so much fun being a mom and so much better now that I can be with her all the time! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
