Callahan Fox 's big debut!

First- he is adorable and I LOVE him!!! BUT- he is a stinker-- when we wanted to see his face-- he put his little arms in front of it~

heartbeat!

We were 18 wks 1 day along and that's just how he measured-- almost...

His legs measured 18wks 2 days~

and his head measured at 18 wks 6 days- ha!!! He's brilliant!

and he's still a boy-- something J was VERY relieved about...

He's so handsome-- AND as you've noticed~ we've named him! Callahan Fox-- I know- it's perfect! Callahan is my Grandma's maiden name and Fox is J's Grandma's maiden name-- we will be calling him Callan-- it's old, original, and the nickname isn't spot on-- but close enough ;)

Emmy got to help-- let's just say that DELIGHTED doesn't begin to describe her at that moment ;)

Mr. Tom's Cabin

The man we rent from is Mr. Tom-- and here is the downstairs--

I LOVE it!

We continue to be so blessed!

My Mother's Day Flowers!

I was surprised the morning before Mother's Day with GORGEOUS flowers!

and Jason got me a pregnancy pillow-- the best gift I EVER could have asked for~

I can feel more sleep in my future!

Emmy even sang at church-- the first song didn't go well-- she had her huge tongue out like KISS (minus the scary makeup) for the whole thing~ the second song went a little better-- because she found her thumb and started sucking it (why?! she isn't a thumb sucker at all) ~but the last song was the jackpot-- she realized she was on a stage and that she loved me-- and so she started making loving faces, singing random words, along with air hugging, blowing kisses and other loving interpretive dancing-- it was fabulous!

Mother's Day photo shoot

Both girls were sick when I took these pics for their Grandmothers' smileboxes.

So we got a lot of these...

and this is how much Emmy loves them~

and this is how much Elles loves them~

one looking...

the other looking...

and BOTH!-- not the best-- but ok.

little lovers.

and finally~ PERFECTION!

kisses

and more kisses~ Happy Mother's Day to all of the AMAZING women in our lives!

Great Times!

It's just like I used to feed the baby cows as a kid-- the best is they BOTH love it!

sticks are the best props!!

I told Emmy I would take pictures of her at the park--

she found this stick-- and the awesomeness began!

injuries!!!

It's been a busy week for injuries as well~ Elles got this oddly places rug burn falling down our stairs.

Emmy was helping me cook (a constant occurrence) and a drop of bacon grease popped out and hit her eyelid== I'm so thankful her eye was closed! Both have since healed ;)

Grammy's matchies!

Poor Elles doesn't get to have a normal nap as often as she would like-- luckily, she sleeps everywhere ;)

precious!

pose!

Grammy sent these cute outfits-- I love them--

and the girls look so pretty in them~ thanks Grammy!

Grammy's package

We also got a package from Grammy-- yep! what a mail filled week!

The girls were delighted with some fun presents~

including lip gloss-- Emmy's favorite thing in the world-- and I think Ellie is going to follow in her footsteps!

Caterpillars!

Booky sent us caterpillars! Emmy waited sooo patiently- she was pretty sure she heard the mailman knocking about 19 times a day for a week- we finally started tracking the package-- she thought it was skype and would yell reassuring things into the computer like "don't worry!! you are coming to me!"
