I LOVE baby feet! My husband thinks I'm goofy, but there is just something sweet about baby feet. Shalynne likes to have her feet rubbed, because I rubbed them so much when she was a baby:-)

The girls' Christmas program. I was really proud of the girls. I did'nt think Emma was going to say her lines at first cause she was the first one up front, but she did after a little coaxing. Shalynne had just woke up not too long before the program, so she was a little touchy. Over all, they did a great job, though.

Our growin boy! Last check, He was 13lbs. 8oz. He's 2 months old now. Time is flying by!

The "motley" crew. The girls still can't get enough of him.

"Hey, this picture is of me, not you!" (if you look close, you can see Emma's nose;-)

"Okay, I'm ready, now."

Christmas Pics

Well, i thought i would try my hand at doing the kids' pics for christmas. These are a few of what I did. I've discovered if you don't get a good pic in the first 5-10 minutes, it ain't gonna happen! They did'nt do to bad, though. I took TOO many of Eddie.I love the black and white one. We've decided he might actually be a red head after all! He is such a good baby. We are so blessed.

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to go to New York. We realized that we would pass pretty close to Niagra Falls, so we decided to stop there. It was wet and rainy and cold, but we bundled up and saw it anyway. The falls were beautiful, but I did'nt like the rails. I felt like I was going to fall over the edge. The girls were really fascinated by it. Emma said we went and saw the "waves":-)

Emma took this pic, hence the blurriness. But she loves taking pics!

Ever hear of "Where's Waldo"? Well this pic is "Where's Eddie?"

Baby Eddie's First Bath

Well, believe it or not, daddy gave baby Eddie his first bath.

As you can see, he was'nt very thrilled with the whole idea(Eddie, that is, not daddy...then again he did'nt look too thrilled, either!) Eddie has been growing like a weed. When he left the hospital, he weighed 6lbs. 12oz.Two weeks later, he was up to 8lbs. 12oz.! That's a pound a week! He has a double chin and chipmonk cheeks;-) He is such a good baby. Mommy loves him so much!

Paul Edwin Robbins IV (Baby Eddie!)

Here he is! The long awaited, illustrious, Paul Edwin Robbins IV! He arrived at 12:42 am on October 18. He weighed in at 7lbs. 5.2oz., and was 20 and a half inches long.

This is the first time I saw him. It was about 2:00 in the morning. I ended up having an emergency c-section due to a severe placental abruption, and also placental previa. A lot of prayer went up for us, and I am so thankful the Lord saw fit to let us live.

Papa is as proud as can be:-) He has already changed more diapers than he did with Shalynne. He is holding him every chance he gets.

Why play baby-dolls when there's real live kittens?!
Emma must not be a good driver...kitty looks ready to abandon ship..I mean bike:-)
mommy-ing the kitty!

So tired... and cute! We were getting ready to go to Highlander Point for their last service of youth camp, and Emma fell asleep while I was doing her hair...standing up!

Children's program at Wesleyan Holiness Camp in Orleans, In. Emma and Megan are best friends, besides being cousins:-)
I like your shirt!
Bobby, Emma, Megan, and another Emma!
Shalynne...always the observer!

Moving Day....the hottest day of the year!
Waiting to put stuff on the truck...don't they look thrilled? They were a BIG help. We could'nt have made it without them.
Taking a water break. It was soooo humid.
If we would'nt have had dad's truck, we could'nt have got it all in one trip.
Almost done!

The week before we moved (yes, we moved...long story) we met Derek and Jessica Geise in Indiana for the Wilbur Wright Festival. We ended up getting rained out, but the girls enjoyed climbing on the tractors....until the owner caught us!!!

Emma's all grown up, now. She's 4 year's old, and has the world by the tail! This is actually her second birthday party this week. The girl's were with my parents for a few days, and then they went to his parents. But they're not the least bit spoiled! no sirree! ( yeah,right)

Dadu with his "kids":-) He does'nt like them one bit! (who are we foolin'?)

I LOVE this picture! I'm not supposed to be doing any lifting or stretching with this pregnancy, so guess who gets to do the laundry?! Mom says he's feeling the pains of this baby, too:-)
They decided they needed to take their nap outside. Guess how long that lasted. "Mom, the sun's to bright.....we need a pillow...can I have a drink....there's a BUG on the blanket!!!...tell Shalynne to scoot over....:-("
Dad, I want to mow!

This is the first wedding cake that Christopher and Jennifer Yaney have ever done. I think they did a fantastic job!!! They have already been booked to do my sister's weddings, IF they ever find the right guy;-) If any one wants their number, let me know. They also do birthday, anniversery, retirement, etc.
I think these people were the best looking out of the whole wedding:-)

We went for an Ultrasound Wed. to find out what was going on with the baby and the uterine blood clot( or sub-chorionic hemorrhage, if you want to be technical:-) The baby is doing great and is right on target for the due date. The blood clot is approximately 3 inches long by 1 1/2 inches thick. It's not growing, and they tell me I should have a healthy pregnancy. I will still have a lot of pain, but it will eventually get better. We are so thankful that everything is ok. It has been a big load off our minds. Isn't he(she) the cutest little blob you've ever seen?!

We were at my moms recently, and the girls were trying out Rebecca and Sarah's MP3 players. I think Gran is wanting to get one for Emma, and if she does, I'm going to load it up with lots of stories and kids songs;-) What's the world coming to, when 2 & 3 year olds have there own MP3 players?!LOL

This is the girls Easter egg hunt. I think its the first time we have ever hunted in our coats! They did'nt seem to mind, though, and after they found them all, they wanted to hide them again!! After they ate a lot of candy, they got to go play with the neighbors kids for a while. This is one momma who can't wait for spring so she can get the kids out of the house! I think we all have a little bit of cabin fever.
