It's a Girl!!!

We are so excited to tell you we will be having another little girl! Doc says that she's a very healthy baby and Emma couldn't be more thrilled. From day 1 she's been saying she wants a little sister!

See her little foot? Isn't God amazing to create toes so little and precious?

Emma Fun!

Well, I know it's been quite a while since posting pics of the big sister! Here are a few of her at an amusement park in Pensacola with me, Nanny and PawPaw. She's fearless!

On a little kiddie roller coaster. Quite a rough ride, but it didn't phase her!

Emma in her "dalmation car" (that's what she called it).

Her first ferris wheel ride! She loved it!

Driving a taxi all by herself!

Emma's First Letter!

While I'm sitting at the computer, Emma's sitting in my lap doodling on some post it notes. I hear her spelling her name E-M-M-A, I look down and this is what I see. She just wrote her first letter all by herself, she even knew it was the letter A! We've only been working on letters for a few weeks now, mainly just tracing and letter sounds. So this really surprised me! Thought you would all like to see her first attempt at the letter A. She gets an A+ in my book :)

A Conversation....

Mom!....What?....Come here and look at me.......Where are you?.......In here.......(Silence as I enter her bedroom) and here is what I saw! A fun little game of hide and seek!

Attitude Training

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Prov. 4:23

Around our house we are going through an "attitude training" of sorts. A dear friend loaned me the book "To Train Up a Child" by Mike and Debbi Pearl. It has been a fountain of knowledge and wisdom for me. These days we're addressing attitude alot around our house. To me, attitude is alot more important than the action. And we are really trying to impress the importance of having a cheerful and respectful attitude when it comes to doing something mommy and daddy have asked us to do, not whining and complaining. With a strong willed child, each day proves to have it's own challenges and God continues to teach us all alot through them. Me? Mainly patience, endurance, perseverance, dependence on God for EVERYTHING, and the importance of continually lifting up my little one in prayer.

This book has been a very helpful tool to me,but as is the case with most books some parts you take and some you leave....... But it is very scripturally based and a quick and easy read (about a 100 pages). Thanks Aubrey for letting me borrow this book!

If any of you have any books that you have read or would like to pass on any helpful tips that were successful for your bunch, please feel free to pass the info along!
