Emily being cute!
 
Emily in bunny ears!
     
Emily all clean and happy.
Emily in her swing.  The kids love to entertain her and Emily laughs and laughs and laughs.
   
More Emily - we like to lay her on the sofa next to us propped up by this pillow.  Gives her a nice place to lay down and since she wasn't rolling over yet, it prevented her from falling off the sofa.
 
Emily hanging out on the sofa.
     
A very happy Emily!
 
Emily on the floor playing and working on rolling over.
   
Emily in her bouncy seat.
 
Emily sleeping on the sofa and in the car seat.
         
Emily in her swing.  Like I said above, the kids will dance and play in front of her and Emily laughs and smiles at them.   Melissa and Jacob actually get in fights over whose turn it is to entertain Emily.   They are so brother and sister.
 
A few pictures at Brookfield Zoo.   No pictures of animals... just Emily sleeping and the kids on the playground.
         
An Emily eating baby food montage.  She has just started eating more baby food and mommy's feeding her a couple servings of baby food a day now.
 
       
Jacob showing how much he loves his baby sister.
 
Jacob playing with Emily in his room just before bedtime.
         
These few pictures are when the kids went with Heidi to learn how to ride bikes without training wheels.  They have these kewl training bikes that gradually help the kids balance.  Melissa did better than Jacob but she is two years older after all.
 
Jacob and Melissa playing at the Warner's backyard pool.  If we thought having 3 kids was tough... the Warners are way past that.  They have 6 kids!
 
Melissa taking a turn feeding Emily.
 
Daddy raises his kids properly through generous playtime with the xbox 360.  Emily is sitting in a Bumbo seat which allows her to sit up without falling over.  The kids love playing Lego Star Wars and Melissa's getting pretty good at it!.
   
Jacob showing off with his baby sister.
 
Melissa cuddling up to Emily.
                 
Pictures from our Saturday after Labor Day block party, which is always a good time.  The local fire station always brings a truck over for everyone to play on.  One of the people on our block has a huge blow up air playground and all the kids loved that.  We have a ton of kids of all ages on our block, from newborn to teenagers... even lots of old kids who haven't grown up yet, like me.  ;-)  In the far right, you can see the two kids who live next door to us.  On the right, next to Melissa is Kayla, who babysits for us once a week.  On the left is Samantha, who goes to the same school as Melissa.   Amy takes Sam home from school too so it's a croweded car for the 3 block ride home.
 
               
Here's Jacob on his first day of preschool this year and Melissa on her first day of Kindergarten at her new school, Pleasant Lane.  Jacob still rides the bus over to Madison school, but mommy has to drive Melissa since the school is only 3-4 blocks from home.
 
       
Here's Melissa and Olivia at Sparks.  Sparks is a Bible club had at our church where kids K-2nd grade come on Wed night to sing, color, hear stories, say sections, do activities and play lots of games.  The kids have a great time and they learn a lot about God and what it means to be Christians.
 
               
Melissa and Jacob's birthday party at Chuckie Cheese (where else?)  Melissa invited Lauren, Olivia, Rocky, Lucy, Denise, Devin and Aiden.  Unfortunately, Devin and Aiden couldn't make it but the rest had a great time.  Chuckie Cheese is a pure madhouse on Saturday afternoons... kids were everywhere.  Nonetheless, it's still a good time.  The red haired girl in most of the pictures is Lauren who Melissa just met this year in school.  She's a real sweetheart and Melissa and Lauren hang out a lot.  On the far right is Olivia who goes to Sparks with Melissa, lives very close by and comes over from time to time.!
 
           
Here's the sole pictures we have of the kids many birthday celebrations at home.  We took a lot of video but not many still pictures.  These are all from when Amy's mom, brother John, his wife Emery and their baby Marai came over to celebrate.
 
       
Here's the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes for 2006!  Melissa and Jacob picked out their own costumes and Emily's was inherited from both of the other kids.  Melissa was a witch (a good witch... she insisted!), Jacob was a fireman and Emily was a pumpkin.  After playing so much Lego Star Wars with daddy, they all want to be Star Wars characters next year.  Ha!
