Cute Pictures

A few weeks ago, I signed Emma up to have her 2 year old pictures taken. They happened to be doing some training sessions at JCP so we were excited for it to coincide. When we got there, they said they had some extra time and asked if they could shoot Nick too. So here are some pictures from that trip. Still have to pick them up! JCP called to ask if they could use the one where Emma is holding her hat to her head. I said yes, of course!

Nick's Baptism

After Saturday filled with the 10k race and Emma's birthday party (see below) we had Nick baptized on Sunday. Kris's sister Kelli and our friend Michael Pulhuj acted as godparents. He looked great in the christening gown that both Emma and Ryan wore that was made from my wedding dress.

After the service, we had everyone back to our house for lunch and playing (the kids that is). We all had a great day, once again despite the rain. By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted and we had finally figured out how to get Ryan and Emma to share a room (thanks Crystal) - by putting them to bed at different times. This is after two nights of them being crazy and taking their clothes off.

Happy Birthday to Emma!!

Emma turned 2 last week! She had a great birthday and party this past weekend. Ryan and Emma helped to make cupcakes for Emma's birthday which we had for a few days. As you can see, Emma managed to get a lot of it on her and she hadn't really touched the icing part yet. We did forget to tell her that you can't put your mouth to the candles when blowing them and as you can see, she was pretty upset when she got burned! But she got over it and had a great night!

We had a fun filled weekend. My parents and Kris's parents and siblings came to visit. Kris, Kevin and I ran the 10k of the Flying Pig Marathon. It was raining and miserable but we all finished!

Saturday afternoon, we had some of our friends join us for Emma's birthday party. Everyone had a great time. Emma received some wonderful gifts (although in every picture she is scowling!). We had a great ice cream cake - which Emma had requested. And Kris got to barbeque.

Cuddling time

Here are some cute pictures of the kids cuddling in Emma's room. Ryan and Emma just love to 'talk' to Nick. Mostly they just say 'hi, Nick' to him over and over and now have started to fight over who can talk to him. Oh well.
