1...2...3..4....

Five! Emma is turning five tomorrow. I wrote about the night before she was born on facebook tonight, but it was that next day that really changed my life. I would no longer be just Angie, I would be mommy. A role that can be hard sometimes but truly rewarding with Emma. We learn so much together, but here are some things I have learned about her this year.

 1. She is a big helper. 

 2. Emma is a Leader. She knows what she wants and is going to make it happen.

 3. Imagination as big as the universe

 4. Fashionista. We question the mis-match clothing sometimes but usually let her show her true colors.

 5. She is quickly becoming a lego master and builds for hours.

 6. Chicken and fries is still her favorite food.

 7. Can't hold us by Macklemore is "Her" song.. oh and mommy turn it up!

I look forward to learning more about her, and growing with her as we face these new obstacles. Emma will start school in August and is so ready to be in class. I loved going to school and I hope that she will too. 

Ellie the Loveable

Tomorrow my Ellie will turn 2! The time has really moved since she was born. I think about that June 6th 2011 and I know what I was going through. Rough, hard, long contractions every 10 minutes. Little did I know that I was being prepared for someone so kind, and loving. It was all worth it looking back. Here are some things that we have learned about Ellie in this last year.

1. Repeat! Anything Emma does Ellie does!
2. More and more loving. Now she can say I love you, (Mommy,Daddy,Emma)
3. Miss Independent
4. Favorite foods-Grapes, candy, spaghetti, goldfish, and chips
5. Builds with blocks, and train set for hours and hours
6. NOT an early riser. (Just like Mommy)
7. Doesn't like to be told what to do. (Just like Daddy)
8. Must have Puppy and Blankie at all times.
9. Empathetic to others feelings. Gives hugs when needed, and even pats.

There is so much more! We are so happy to have Ellie in our lives. I look forward to celebrating her Birthday and watching what new things she will learn.
