A new car!

We were so blessed by Jerrod’s Dad! He and Jerrod had been chanting SUV for a long time every time we had to get Emma in and out of the car. It was very back breaking. So Jerrod’s Dad offered to pay the car payments if we got a new car, preferably an SUV . We went to look at the Chrysler vehicles (because through April’s Dad we can get the Employee Price on any Chrysler vehicle). We ended up in the Jeep Commander. The SUV that we really wanted but thought we couldn’t have. Thanks Dad! What an awesome blessing! It is so much easier to get Emma in and out of. And it’s roomier overall!

Emma is pulling herself up

There has been so many milestones this month. Emma started a week ago pulling herself up and now she's a pro. She'll try to pull herself up on anything! We had to lower her crib mattress because she would pull herself up and lean over the edge. She is also starting to try to go upstairs. Time for a gate!

Emma's First Tooth

We discovered last night that Emma is starting to get her first tooth! It's starting to peak through on the bottom front. She's getting so big! This morning Jerrod watched her climb up on the landing of the staircase, she crawled around there for a little while, looked up the stairs and decided that it was too scary to climb, and then climbed back down (more like a faceplant than climbing) She's such a little monkey!

Mary and Patrick's wedding

Our "sister" got married today in San Diego. We were so bummed that we did not get to go to the wedding. Sorry Mary-Frances! It just didn't work out financially nor could we find any plane tickets that had a guaranteed 3 seats together. We love you Mary and Patrick and wish you all the best!

April lost 15.5 lbs

The past 10 weeks, April has been a weight loss support group at work. She lost 15.5 lbs! She's finally now back to the weight she was before she was pregnant. Each person in the group pays $2 each week to participate, and if they gain weight they have to pay an extra $2. At the end of the 10 weeks, the "biggest loser" wins all the money. Guess who won? That's correct! So we went shopping!

Trip to Ft. Wayne

We went this weekend to the Ft. Wayne mall. It's kindof sad to think that this was really exciting for us! We went shopping and bought lots of cool clothes. April bought new jeans and some dress shirts, the same size that she wore before she was pregnant :) Jerrod bought new spring clothes. And of course Emma got the most clothes out of all of us. Lots of cute spring outfits.
