Lunch with our favorite girls! Emerson had a blast spending the afternoon with her bestie, Abigail, today! Unfortunately, for this to happen Michelle and I were forced to get some lunch, sit through a pedicure and stroll around town with our mini-shoppers… small price to pay!...
Nic’s 28th
Hard to believe another Friday is here! Somehow I made it through the week without posting pictures from Nic’s birthday last Saturday. It was a beautiful morning spent walking to the square, eating breakfast at Smokey Row and shoe shopping! I wish every weekend started out like this! Later that day my dad visited and we had a great time relaxing, playing with Emerson and watching movies. Here are a few shots of the delicious biscuits and gravy breakfast… ...
Girl Friends
Can I just say how wonderful it is to sit back and watch my friends fall under the spell of my daughter? Thinking back to the ‘pre-mom’ days I am not sure I was quite as outgoing and loving with young children as my friends are with Emerson.

You know who you are, I love you all! A very close friend recently moved to Pella; it’s been nothing but a blessing. Not only do we work together but...

Yesterday Emerson and I strolled up to the square for a little shopping and girl-time. A dose of fresh air and sunshine had us loving life!...
Sisterhood of the New Pants

I fulfilled my need for a wardrobe re-vamp and my sister fulfilled her fantasy of toting ‘her’ baby around the outdoor mall. It was a perfect Wednesday afternoon, complete with pizza, laughs and a lot of retail therapy! I would take Nannykins Meghan everywhere with me if given the option! I wish both my sisters lived closer but it’s always fun to unexpectedly meet up somewhere in the middle. Emerson is quite the trooper when it comes to shopping...
