First formal pictures of
all three kids together. These were taken on July 12 when Emily was one month old.

First formal pictures of
Emily. The far left is the hospital picture when Emily was 1 day old. The
three on the right were taken 10 days later.

Here's the few remaining
hospital pictures taken the 2nd day at the hospital. Melissa already was in love
with her baby sister. The three on the right are Emily's first time in her car seat,
all ready to go home. She had a lot of scratches on her face due to her sharp nails,
they went away soon after.

Lots of Emily!

She spent a lot of time there.
In the middle picture, you can view her usual state during her first month... screaming.

Bathtime with Melissa and Emily!.

Ok... this one you can blame on my
lovely wife. Emily is in the middle of... um... well... you figure it out.

Melissa loves to hold Emily.
That's Aunt Jennifer in the middle who came by with Uncle Tim to see Emily.

More Melissa and Emily together.
Melissa's been a super good big sister so far and really enjoys Emily. Jacob
has been very good as well but he's not interested in holding but he does give kisses and
hugs.

      |
We rented a stork for
Emily, just like we did for the other two. Here's the whole family out in front of
the stork.

Jacob always fights his nap, but when
he doesn't get one, this is what happens. Cute regardless.

Jacob trying his best to look like
daddy, sporting the black HeavenGames hat that daddy always wears.

Sometimes Melissa needs a nap too.

Jacob and Melissa can both ride bikes
now and they love riding up and down the driveway.

Amy took the kids to
Tom's parent's house in Aurora and they all went to Blackberry Farm nearby. As you
can see, they have a train, tractors, horse rides, a carosel and lots of other stuff the
kids enjoy. Everyone had a really fun day and grandma really enjoyed feeding her 5th
grandchild!

Right after Emily's
birth, we put Melissa and Jacob in a two week swim class. They had a great time and
did really good in the first level class so we put them in the next two week class.
Melissa passed the second level but Jacob didn't. Melissa's two year
advantage helped there. They had a great time in any case - they both enjoy the
water a great deal.
