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.

April's family visited us this weekend. We celebrated Sarah and Rebekah's birthday. They are already 10 years old!

Emma is crawling

Emma is crawling really well now. There is no where she can't go, unless we block it with pillows. She is a professional army crawler, she can get up on her knees, but decides that she can get there faster with an army crawl. She's so fast when she sees something she really wants! And of course everything she really wants, she can't have.

Happy New Year!

Our good friends Andy & Nichole Merrill and Jamie, Betsy, Micah, & Kate Zile came to visit over New Year's. We had our "5 year" reunion. Lots of fun! This was the first time that Emma has played with another baby. Kate kept being a bully and pulling Emma's pacifier out of her mouth :)

Emma's first trip to the beach

Even though it was cold, we still had to go just to say that we went! It was very sunshiny and beautiful.

Uncle Chris, a proud Uncle

Before we left Sarasota, we had breakfast with Uncle Chris at our favorite breakfast place: First Watch.

Christmas at Grandma's in Sarasota

We went to Sarasota for Christmas. Emma's first plane ride. She did great both ways. She slept the whole time. She had a great time with Grandma, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Lori.

Natural model

We took Emma to get her picture taken at JCPenney. This is just pose was probably the cutest.

I love the Fall

Fall is so beautiful. This is the entrance to our subdivision. I just love the fall colors!

Emma had a great time on Halloween in her Mummy suit!

Grandma Furlong | Theres the Bag

We dropped her off at airport soon after her Birthday Lunch lunch at Papa Vino's and promised that we would send bag to her soon. 5 minutes from leaving airport April and I decide that we should make an impromptu trip to Florida to deliver the bag, Visit mom on her Birthday (the 11th) and introduce Emma to her Uncle Chris & Aunt Lori, a trip that went remarkably well for a 3 week old.

Grandma Furlong | Where's the bag?

Pre-arranged tickes to arrive soon after Emma was born, Grandma came in and helped us a lot around the new house and her new grand-baby.

This picture shows her reaction to my comment made 1.5 hours before she was to leave on a plane back to florida. (note we were an hour from home) Comment "Mom, I'm pretty sure I left your bag in the house when we left"

She thought I was kidding till i popped the trunk.. Stroller, Check. Bag, hmmm back home in foyer, check.
