Life as of lately

I haven't blogged in forever. I guess that's what happens when you get pregnant, feel sick, and then move. We've been busy though, and it's been FUN! We are loving Boise and all it has to offer. For the last few weeks we've been back and forth on houses, but we finally decided to rent for the next little bit while we search for a home. Our rental is a townhouse that's brand new, 3 beds, 2 1/2 baths, and 2 car garage. It's a good location, and it will work just perfectly for us for the next bit. It's always hard to go back to renting after living in a home for the last 4 years, but we're not too bothered.
I recently had my first Dr. Appointment (finally!) and was really pleased with my doc. She's actually a Certified Nurse Midwife (which was recommended by my friend crystal who recently had a baby) and I think she's perfect. So much more personal and friendly than my last OB. She did an ultra sound that day and we were excited to see little baby in there moving around. It is a miracle to me that at 11 weeks along we were able to distinguish the head, nose, hands, and feet, etc. Such a beautiful, perfect miracle. The girls are so thrilled and look at the picture of their baby everyday. Emi tells everyone I have a baby in my pants. :) I'm not sure where that one came from, but it's cute.
Caleb is doing great in his job. He is a wonderful hard worker, and does great at anything he puts his mind to, but the best part of this move is...He is happier than I have seen him in a long time. It's really nice having a little more flexibility too, and he's enjoyed that time to have some special dates with his girls.


Here he is with Adi before their date. They had a great time. They went to pizza, and the toy store, and her "ticket store" and a movie. It couldn't have been a more perfect date for her.



And here he is with little Emersyn before their date. They went to dinner and the toy store. They rode on a crousel and played at the park. She hasn't stopped talking about it since and every night her dad comes home she begs to go on a date!

I got my own special date too, but I didn't take any pictures...oops!

Emi had her 2nd birthday. My baby is now 2! She's obsessed with mickey and minney mouse, so we decorated for that.


Her and her cousins made mickey mouse candy necklaces.



She loved her presents.

That's her happy face:)

She really liked her Minnie plates.

But mostly she loved her presents!

Adi was very patient and sweet, but as soon as Emi was ready to share, Adi was eager to play!

I slacked off this year because of being so sick, I didn't make her cake. BUT, I did the next best thing and ordered it from pastry perfection!

She was pleased as could be, and it was a really fun party.
