Our little Goldilocks is 1!


We celebrated Izzy's 1st birthday on April 18.
My baby is one already! What a fun year it has been.
Izzy is the happiest, mellow little girl.
We just love having her in our home with her smiling
face and her sweet, easygoing nature.


As you can imagine, her hair tends to draw a lot
of attention wherever we go and she's getting to the point
where she recognizes when people are talking about
her hair, so she'll put her hands back at the back of her neck
to caress her hair as people admire it.


Things I've come to love about Izzy:

-I love how she has the hugest smile that lights up her whole face

-I love how she has conversations with herself in her carseat

- I love how she makes friends wherever she goes

-I love how she claps for herself when she's proud of what she's done

- I love how she calls her big sister "Muh" and even tries to mimic my scolding tone when Em's in trouble

- I love how when she's really tired and doesn't have a blanket she weaves a lock of my hair through her fingers for comfort

-I love how she sucks on her fingers just like her big sister

- I love how she points at people she really likes

-I love her little faces and her "flexes" when she's really excited about something


-And I love her face in this picture :)

Christmas in Germany

Christmas 2016 Bernkastel-Kues Christmas morning Our Christmas was a little different this year, or I guess a lot different because of being in a different country and far away from the family and friends we love. We celebrated about a week and a half early because Emily went to spend Christmas with her other family and Aaron had to work on Christmas. Emily left the day after the girls' last day of school, so when they came home from school we opened presents from each other and then by popular vote spent the rest of the night eating pizza and bowling at the bowling alley on base. The next day we woke up early to deliver Em to the airport. We were able to hit a couple of Christmas Markets in the beginning weeks of December with her and then we did a couple after she left. We thought it was kind of fun how each Christmas Market has their own mug that you can collect, so the collecting motivated Aaron a little more to hit multiple markets rather than to just stay ho...

6 Week Flu

SYMPTONS: FREQUENT VOMITING, EXCESSIVE FATIGUE, NAUSEA, LACK OF MOTIVATION SIDE EFFECTS: HOUSE TURNS INTO A PIG PEN, FAMILY MEMBERS WEAR DIRTY UNDERWEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY ARE ACCUSED OF HAVING EATING DISORDERS FROM MALNUTRITION, YOUR BED & COUCH HAVE A PERMANENT INDENT, AND THE CARPET FROM HERE TO THE BATHROOM HAVE A WELL WORN PATH, PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH My friend recently told me there's a chance she "might" be pregnant. When I asked what might meant, she told me it could just be the flu. I laughed at her until I started experiencing the same symptoms. Even after a positive pregnancy test I worried that it might be all in my head. Thank heavens for a trip to the doctor, he confirmed that: WE ARE HAVING BABY NUMBER 2 !!!!!! I apologize to any of you who have asked recently when we are having more kids or why I am sick, and I didn't give you a straight answer . . . well now you know!
