Visit with Great Grandma McCurry

After Thanksgiving Emi and I stayed in NC for an extended visit while Joel headed off to TX for work. During our stay we ventured to the central part of NC to visit my grandma and Emi's Great Grandma. It was so good to see her and see her meet Emi. So blessed to have four generations in one room!

Rolling Over

Today my sweet little Emabel turned 3 months old. She has been celebrating her birthday week by keeping mommy up all night long and I can't figure it out. BUT she totally redeemed herself tonight when we were G-chating with daddy and she rolled over for the first time ever and Joel got to see it all! No pictures yet but over the next few days we will try to capture it all on video!

Cousin Time Interupted

Thanksgiving 2010

Kelli and Joel are so sleepy these days!

Uncle mark is eating Emabel's foot!

Nanet is sleepy after cooking a yummy dinner and helping with her grandbabies (and doggies)!

Uncle Danny came to visit and watch the Pats with us. He met Emi for the first time and of course thought she was the best ever.

After dinner we all felt like doing what Emi did! Pass out with a full tummy! I was very thankful because Emi let me eat an entire meal while it was still hot! Thanks Emi.

Finally we joing her and enjoy and delicious feast! So blessed.

Charlotte is patiently waiting for us all to join her for Thanksgiving dinner.

Cousin time!

Watching the Patriots play on Thanksgiving Day. The whole family even Scout's wearing his bandana.

Is that a smile?

First big road trip to NC

Emi was able to meet her 3rd cousin, Marshal. She cuddled right up to him.

Nanet and Charlotte made cupcakes and decorated them to share! Cooking with Nanet is always YUMMY!

Charlotte is an awesome big cousin to little Emi. She enjoyed reading to her and making her smile.

On the Friday before Thanksgiving I picked up my sister-in-law and neice at Union Station (and it was so pretty all decorated Christmas) and drove to NC to visit with Nanet and Paul Paul. My poor dad was out numbered 5 to 1, but we didn't hear any complaining from him as he soaked in all the youth from his beautiful grandaughters!

BFFs and mommies too!

My bestest friends in the world both had babies this year and both had beautiful little girls. So that makes three...this past weekend we all were able to be together and introduce the little ones who are destined to be best of friends. Meg and Finn came in from NYC and we met at Sara and Cate's house for some fun photos (yes we are crazy mommies who are very proud of our little ones). Cate was born in June and Finn was born in Sept. just 15 days after Em. Hopefully we will all get together again sooner than later and our girls will grown up knowing each other and become BFFs!

Grammie Carter makes a visit to MD

Joel's mom came to visit for a long weekend. We had lots of fun exploring the neighborhood and taking pictures in the fall leaves. the weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside taking walks and taking pictures. Emily was a sweet girl (most of the time) and loved to hear Grammie play guitar and dance with mommy!
