Emily & Hannah: January 2009

Emily's lil sis

Aunt Emily and Uncle Matthew gave the girls these cute shirts...Emily has one that says Hannah's big sis...of course she would not cooperate for a picture together...maybe next time!

Cousins

We tried to get a picture of all 4 girls together...it didn't go well..these are as good as it gets this year!

Uncle Joe & Aunt Jan meet Hannah

Aunt Jan and all the girls

Uncle Joe & Aunt Jan came up to meet Hannah while the Penfields were here. Thank you so much for coming to see us...we love you guys!

Aunt Emily, Uncle Matthew, Caroline, & Eliza came up for New Years. We had such a good time with them. The girls were so funny playing together...if I can figure out how to post it, I have some great video of 3 silly girls. Emily even got to have her first spend the night party and stayed at the hotel with her cousins for New Year's Eve. Other than a 2:00 AM cough syrup run daddy had to make to the hotel...she did great!

Hannah Bug

Somehow Hannah has become known as "hannah bug"...here are some pictures of our sweet little bug!

David's Aunt Becky, Uncle Rick, & his cousin Amanda drove up last Sunday to meet Hannah (after driving all the way from New Jersey to Little Rock for Christmas). Aunt Becky surprised us with a great new picture for Hannah's room...like Emily's, Hannah's room is decorated with a Dr. Seuss theme. Aunt Becky painted 2 amazing reproductions from Dr. Seuss books before Emily was born and made another one for Hannah. Becky is very talented and the paintings are amazing...we love them! Thanks so much for the painting and for coming to visit!

The Engborgs meet Hannah

Great Aunt Becky & Hannah

Thanks!

Emily's great Aunt Pam and great Uncle Bill (Chief's sister) sent her this adorable raincoat for her birthday. Thanks so much..she loves it...and she loves candy canes!

Working on their sermons

David preached the Sunday after Christmas and spent most of Saturday writing his sermon...Emily needed her computer to work on her sermon too!

Emily & Olivia

I think I missed posting about Emily's school Christmas performance. She did great. It was hard to get good pictures because it was so dark, but it was lots of fun to see her perform with her friends. It's so hard to believe these 2 big girls (below) were once these 2 babies (above)...they are big buddies and quite hysterical together!

Fun with Uncle Ken, Aunt Hollie, & Clayre

Uncle Ken & Emily reading

Em refused to cooperate and be in this picture...3 is such a fun age! :)

3 Little Monkeys

Hannah, Emily, Clayre

Ken, Hollie, & Clayre came up to visit the day after Christmas. There was a lot of feeding babies and trying to get them to take naps and a little bit of hanging out...I can only imagine what it will be like when they are all running around with Emily! We had to do a photo shoot in their matching PJs and with the hat and monkeys that Aunt Hollie picked out. Emily did great holding both girls...and amazingly enough we got some good pictures!

Christmas morning

We had a great Christmas at home this year. Gramma and Chief were here to open presents with us and see what Santa left and then the Kees came over for Christmas dinner. We missed seeing the rest of our families, but it was nice to be at home! This is one of the few pictures from the day...I guess there was too much to manage to get many pictures! This is daddy and his girls playing in Emily's new princess tent.
