Emmie and her love, baby Abbie.  Emmie doesn't go anywhere without her.

Ems and Charlie getting into trouble at Great Grandma's.

Maddie and Matt before the daddy/daughter dance

We showed the kids around Purdue and even brought them to the PIKE house.  Good memories!  The guys were super nice and even gave the kids footballs.

Walking home from school. 

Disney on Ice at the United Center.

Maddie won a jar full of bulls-eyes by guessing how many were in the jar.  She got it right on the money! :)

Emmie took a strong liking to this Ariel balloon at Rosie's birthday party.  They were together all night!

Maddie was super excited about selling cookies this year.  She enjoyed organizing, sorting and delivering them.  She even got to go to work with daddy to deliver cookies and she thought that was the best!

We moved Emmie to a big girl bed this month.  She can easily crawl out of the crib, so it was time.  She did quite well!  She has been getting up earlier, but hoping the 7:00 wake-up will return soon!

Cuties in the backseat

Emmie loves the Clifford dog at the Mt. Prospect library.  She runs over to hug him as soon as we enter and hugs him on the way out as well.

Grammie took the kids to the Field carnival and they came home with goldfish.  They were thrilled!  Maddie named her fish Sequin and Dane named his Basil Smotherman Blaze.  

Emmie loves playing with her Anna and Elsa dolls.  She makes them talk to each other and calls them her girls.

These kids love each other so much!
