Where does time go?
Wow, it is still amazing to me how quickly time flies. I just realized we have been in our house for 2 months. Things here in Michigan are going very well. Zach is still loving his job and working lots. He has done a million things to the house. This past week he finished the drywall in Emma's room and painted it. I have joined MOMS and MOPS...two amazing groups of moms who get together and talk, craft, and give advice. I love going and talking with other moms who are dealing with the same issues in life. The girls love it also. We normally have a melt down about the time I say "It's time to go home." The girls are doing great. We just joined the library down the street and have been almost everyday. The girls love it. Emma knows that she gets to pick out several books and play with puzzles. The library is VERY small, but nice. I can walk anywhere in there and see the girls at the puzzle table. We have been busy gearing up for a visit from Matt, Pat, and Danessa for some Turkey! Can't wait for some more family time and relaxing. Hope you all have an amazing holiday. (Promise there will be pictures soon!)

Major Changes!
Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated this!!! We have had so many changes since the last update. Short version, Zach got out of the military on July 1st, we moved to Michigan, lived in a small shoebox (apartment) for a few months while we looked for a house. We closed on our house recently and Zach has been working at Selfridge Air National Guard Base for a few months and loving it. The girls have adjusted well to all the changes and are loving the new big back yard!!! We have already had several visitors. Matt, Pat, Chad and Katie came up the weekend after we closed to help move. Danessa and Brett came up last weekend to visit over Danessa's Fall Break. We had visit from Pat and Trina this last week and the girls had way to much fun playing with Pops! Pat and Matt will be up this weekend! We have tons to do around the house and it will take lots of work, but we are so very excited for it all.
The house. There are a million things that need to be done, but finally....a house that it ours!
Playing with Pops in the backyard. He found this ball on the other side of the fence and it has since provided hours of entertainment! Emma is doing great. She loves playing in the back yard and we are still working on potty training. She is a great big sister and loves going to play group every week.

My happy little girl. Sophia is learning so many new words and is even sitting on the potty while big sis goes to the bathroom. Who knows, maybe I can get a 2 for 1 in potty training?!

My happy babies! Dress up is a big part of every day!
We celebrated Zach's 28th birthday right after moving in. Emma made a cake, iced it, and put the candles in. We have a very nice evening.
Hope everyone is doing well! We have the same e-mail addresses, but there have been some changes to phone numbers and of course the address so please let me know if you need new numbers! Take care and can't wait to see you all!

Letter Weeks
We have started working on a letter a week. Emma has come home from her MDO program loving all the crafts that she is doing and wanting to do more. I made the occasional craft with her but decided to try and add some educational "stuff" with it. So, on Mondays we recognize the letter and then throughout the week, we do crafts and activities that start with that letter. She loves it and has woken up several morning saying "project!"

Best Day Ever!
Emma had the best day ever on February 12th! It was Sophia's 1st Birthday and Zach had a snow day! We woke up and colored, had blueberry muffins, played in the snow, finger painted, had pizza for lunch and dinner (per Emma's request!) decorated cupcakes, ate them, had bathes (one of the girls FAVORITE things) then opened presents! What more could a kid ask for?!

Early Valentines Day
Zach is such a softy when it comes to the girls. Emma talked him into letting her and Sophia open their Valentines Day gifts from Granny early. He doesn't know how to say NO!
