hallie jane sudan

sweet hallie jane entered the world August 3rd (at 35 weeks)...she was 5 lbs 13 oz and is PRECIOUS! i mean how could she not be with jason & al as parents. it's also AMAZING b/c when alex was first pregnant they though she had miscarried and the heart wasn't beating and then she went back for a final sono to evaluate the day after molly was born and she was alive and well. a miracle baby for sure. Thank you Jesus!
alex is super momma and pushed her out in 10 minutes ( i mean, really? how come it takes me 3+ hours and a cesarean)

Emery Kate really liked holding her. she is pumped to have another girl cousin she can "lead" :)

and I am excited to have another neice!

Jason & Alex have been such a good aunt and uncle to my girls I am so excited to see them as parents. We are blessed.

sorry i've been missing in action in the blog world. I have a few posts to do. Last saturday (the 30th) was my dad's 56th bday. We met him in Hillsboro sunday night for a bday dinner. So instead of making the bday dinner about him he had prayed for specific words for each of his children & their spouses. amazing, huh? Click here for his blog so you can read it. He also told us that he feels like the Lord has told him that to four generations in our family everyone will be believers and that each generation will be rooted deeper and stronger in the Word. What an amazing word from the Lord to receive. It makes me even more want to make sure I am teaching Emery Kate and Molly biblical truths and principals early on. I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do in their lives.
love this of mom & molls

my sweet parents...don't they look so young to be 56!

6 months!

Molly turned 6 months on the 10th! She is such a joy to us everyday! She started eating some vegetables this week, but not loving it yet. Emery Kate loves to help her eat. She makes Molly laugh and smile more than anyone else.


Molly can sit pretty well for awhile now. She still needs some support occasionaly, but she does well. She likes to be able to sit and play with her toys. She is definitely a grabber too...anything within reach is in her mouth!

i had to capture these adorable little feet

and these cheeks...melt me

i love this little one...can't believe she's half a year and can't imagine life without her! Here is EK at 6 months.

dance

not really...it's actually a "creative movements" class. But she sure does look like a cute ballerina! my friend gave her this bag for her bday...she had her ballet shoes in it b/c you can't wear them outside and it was killing her b/c she wanted to wear them the whole time!

i think this fall we may attempt a real dance class...

happy 4th!

We had a fun 4th weekend! It started with the lakehouse friday-sunday, dinner with the Thomas' last night and then just a fun family day today. It was perfect. Molly woke up early today but that face is just too cute that I don't even mind! She has been so fun lately really playing with her toys and loving her exersaucer.
We went to the arboretum this morning for a little bit. It was hot but fun! Molly looked a little miserable.

EK cooled off in the water



loves to fly!

So thankful for our nation!

Happy Independence Day!
