Disney Cruise!

Words cannot describe the amazing time that we had on our vacation. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime that was worth every penny and every moment of planning! Emily was spoiled rotten by everyone on the ship for the entire week, and we were treated like royalty as well. The weather was perfect, the food was wonderful, the entertainment was outstanding...I could go on and on, but I'll let the video and pictures below speak for themselves :-)

They could be models, right?

Best place to nap :-)

Hi Mommy!

High Five!

This video is from the beginning of March - so it's a little out of order - but still very cute!

Snow Fun!

So, I had the flu during the snow/ice storm that came through Atlanta a few weeks ago. I was miserable and couldn't move from our sofa. Thankfully, Fouad came to the rescue and was Mr. Mom for the week. We're so lucky to have him around :-)

The saddest part was that we didn't go out and play in the snow! After I was feeling better (almost a week later), there was still a small amount of snow in our yard, but we still took advantage of it and let Emily enjoy her first real snow.

First Veggie

Here's Emily's thoughts on her first vegetable...squash! Enjoy:

Party Animal

We have great next-door neighbors - the Browns. Their daughter Sienna is only a few weeks older than Emily. Their other daughter Mia celebrated her 3rd birthday this weekend and Emily was invited to celebrate! She had a great time at her first friend's birthday party :-)

Enjoying all the fun toys

I liked my sunglasses!

Sleeping after all the fun!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We met up with Anne and Matt today to see Santa! Emily did a great job - she was so happy! Santa must have told her she was on the nice list :-) Here's her very first photo with the big guy:

Here's what it takes to get a smile for Santa:

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving 2010 was fun and exhausting! We decided to split the day so that each family had equal time with Emily (and us...but mostly Emily). We started at my parents' house where we had fun with my family and friends and ate a delicious meal around 1:00 pm. Emily had just enough time to be only a little fussy before we headed to Fouad's aunt & uncle's home to have dinner #2 around 5:00 pm. We enjoyed lots of time with family and of course delicious food. Emily was a champ, and the three of us survived with only a few minor breakdowns. Here's a few pictures from both celebrations:

Em just couldn't last! She fell asleep during our 2nd meal...

Finally home and exhausted after our two Thanksgiving celebrations!

Uncle Shuck's Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze

Today we went to Uncle Shuck's Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze. It was a lot of fun! Emily spent most of the time in the carrier, but she seemed to really enjoy looking around at everything! We had a great day :-)

Before we went through the corn maze...

Yum! Delicious corn on the cob.

Trying to figure out where the heck we are!

Adventures with Emily

Here's some of the things we've been up to over the last few weeks with Emily:

I love riding in the car!

Mmmm...I love mexican food! Chepe's is my favorite!

My first tub bath. Not too sure I like this...

I do like cuddling with mom after my baths!

My first smile! Smiling at my mobile :-)

I love this guy!

My first bottle...I'm going to have to get used to this...
