<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Today, Adelyn attended her 1st day of preschool! And you wanna know who cried about it....me! Who would have thought?!? Last night, I just couldn't get over the thought of my baby (ok, she's 3, but she'll always by my 1st baby) going to school. I always had a hard time anticipating school, and here I am, anticipating school again and crying about it. But when the morning of the 1st day of school came, it was game time, and there were no tears to be had! We made eggs for breakfast, grabbed her lunch box and headed to school. Lisee met us there, which was a huge help b/c Braden was not so pleased about the seeing his Sunday school teacher, whom he though was going to take him, and he burst into tears. So I guess there were a few tears on school day #1, but not Adelyn's. Adelyn walked in with her friend Turned, hung up her lunch box, used the potty, and marched right into class, without looking back. I had anticipated tears, and possibly even running (that is what her daddy did in 1st grade) but not for her! She did beautifully, and said she had a lot of fun the whole time. When I asked her what she did at school, she said, "we played, and played and played and it was lots of fun." Well, I guess she sees school as playing, which is a wonderful thing. And I got some one-on-one play time with Braden during the 3 hours, which was definitely a good thing as well. And, to top it all off, Adelyn slept for 3hours during her nap. Yay for a successful 1st day of school!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In August, We had the treat of going on a trip to the beach with the Luck Family. It was a wonderful week, with lots of beach time, lots of help, and lots of fun time with the family. The beach trips certainly have looked different than the used to over these past 3+ years of parenthood, and I am beginning to get used to the new normal. It's not always easy, but it's such a joy watching these sweet kids grow up and develop in their love for all things "beach". It's nice to have married into a family who shares my beach passion, but is also willing to stay up at the house during nap time so that I could get a few moments of quite beach time. I look forward to many more years of fun Luck Beach Trips. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adelyn is 3! And if you ever forget, don't worry because she will let you know :). Adelyn loves hearing stories and reading story books, so for her 3rd birthday party, we thought it would be fun to do a story book theme. Not that a 3 year old needs a themed party, but it was fun for me. We all had a lot of fun eating, playing, and swimming in the baby pools out back b/c the day was HOT! We loved celebrating this sweet girl, and we are so grateful for her. She is a sweet big sister (as long as her toys aren't snatched from her by little sticky fingers), loves to dance and sing, and has a slightly introverted personality (unlike her extremely extroverted brother!) Despite being introverted, once she gets to know someone, she becomes and instant good friend. She loves reading and learning, and I think that preschool this fall couldn't come soon enough for her. Our Northern Virginia born child is learning to love the outdoors, getting much better about swiping away spider webs on her outdoor toys without too many squeals, and has discovered that getting mud on her dress (b/c we must wear a dress most of the time, preferably with her hair down) is a natural part of playing outside. We can't imagine life without this very dramatic bundle of joy!</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After visiting Dee Dee and Sam, we then traveled to Hilton Head to spend some time with Grandmother and GPop Carlton. They live in a beautiful house with a private pool, so the kids loved playing in the water, and I even got some alone time, relaxing by the pool and reading magazines (as you can imagine, I'm already planning our trip back!) Grandmother is infamous for always stocking her fridge full of wonderful food that the kids love, so as you will see in the pictures, Braden enjoyed eating...a lot! The Carltons are so hospitably, and so wonderful with the children, that visiting is very easy (despite the travel.) These children of ours are so blessed to have so many wonderful Great Grandparents!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In April, Steven and I had the privilege of taking the kids down to visit some of their Great Grandparents. We also were fortunate enough to buy a van a the week that we left, which made the 32+ hours we spent in the care, much more pleasant. (I know, vans aren't "cool" but man are they wonderful!) We first drove 9 hours to the Carlton's house in Hilton Head (1st making a stop in Richmond for cousin Robert's 3rd birthday, of course), stayed over the night, then left the next morning and drove 7 hours to Sarasota, Florida, to visit Sam and DeeDee Stipp. The car ride was actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be, and the kids slept more than expected in the car (b/c of the comfy van, of course!) Florida was super fun, and we all loved all the great things that Sarasota had to offer!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On Sunday, Braden was baptized and we celebrated his 1st birthday with lots of family. He was quite the little ham up on stage, pointing to everyone in the congregation, saying "dada", and screaming. He, and one of the other little boys who was being baptized and was singing, both received lots of laughs from the congregation. Braden is so full of life and energy, and you could definitely tell he enjoyed the lime light! After his baptism, he fell asleep on the way home to his birthday party, so he missed the first half of it, but it was OK b/c he was well rested and ready for cake when he woke up! It was so much fun to have all the family together, and all of the cousins loved playing together. We are so blessed to have such wonderful, supportive family.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our precious little boy is one year old today! I can't even believe it. This year has definitely flown by, and while it was an amazing year, Steven and I are happy for a new one to begin. Braden has such a joyful and firey spirit. He started smiling at 3weeks (I
promise it was intentional) and whoever meets him says that they have
never seen a baby smile so much. And it is true! But, he also has a very strong opinion and for the first 4 months of his life, sleep and riding in the car were 2 things about which he refused to agree with us. At 4 months, though, he started sleeping well and really has
been a great sleeper ever since. He is all boy, turning everything into a vehicle, already saying "ball", and making the best car noise ever. He adores his sister, and even though he does like to take her toys and is already pushing her around a bit, she really does love him a lot too and often smothers him with hugs and kisses. She calls him "Bubba" and I think the nickname will stick. He also really loves his daddy, and gets SOOO excited whenever he comes home. Braden is a snuggler, a laugher, a busy body, a climber, a flirt, and simply a joy to have in our family. We feel so blessed to be his parents, and we can't wait to see him grow into his personality even more (and this boy sure has personality!) We cannot imagine life without him, and while our lives have gotten a bit noisier, they have also been filled with so much more joy and laughter. Thank you sweet boy, for blessing us so much! </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We're back and busy! So, I didn't get a post out this weekend, but our weekend is Sunday and Monday, so I'm really only a day late :). A lot has been going on in this little family. We are renovating our kitchen, which means we have been in and out of the house a lot over the past 3 weeks (thank you to my parents who have allowed us to crash there many nights), and we have been enjoying the nice weather and spending lots of time outside trying to clean up the yard. Both kids love being outside, and I have already had to break out the summer hats and suntan lotion. (Adelyn told me, when I put her hat and lotion on her, that she was at the beach...we only wish, sweet girl!) Here are a few pictures of the kiddos that I took over the past 2 months. There are many more to come!</td></tr>

I have been missing my hulu, pintrest, gmail, and blog following. (Yes, that is what I mainly use the computer for :) ) I promise a post over the weekend, but I have been working A LOT recently, so there has been no time for picture taking and blogging. A lot has happened in the past few weeks, though, so there will be plenty to blog about. Thanks for your patience :) (to my few followers)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11584463186386693934noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215593787205233641.post-50244345858808883832012-02-13T22:16:00.001-05:002012-02-13T22:16:17.679-05:00RIP computerMy computer has died. Fortunately, we were able to back up our files before it completely died. But it is no longer working and therefore I am going to be MIA in the technical world for a little while...bummer...no more streaming hulu for the next few weeks...I miss you Modern Family and Parenthood...no more blog posts until we get it all figured out. Thank you all for your patients.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sweet Hannah Byrd, who just welcomed a second precious little girl into her family, took some wonderful pictures of our family (while 9mo pregnant...God bless her!) We are so grateful for her talent and willingness to take pictures of our crazy little family. Braden had a 104 degree temp during these pictures (I know, worse mother of the year award to me. But I knew our chance with Hannah was running short since her little girl was on the way, the holidays were a week away, and we couldn't, and still can't, keep Braden healthy to save our lives!) Hannah did a wonderful job. Here are some of the pictures she took mid December...yes, it has taken way too long for me to post, but like I said, it has not been for lack of effort!</td></tr>

She has a way of getting these kids to smile, even in the depths of sickness. She is wonderful, and dearly loved by my children. (and I think she may have gotten one of the best pictures in the whole series!) </td></tr>

Braden loves to dance, smile, snap (at least a attempt to snap) and has been waving and saying "bye-bye." And Adelyn likes to tell him what to do, of course.) Fortunately, Ashley caught it on video while I was working.

Brad Arms passed away 7 years ago today, and oh, how we miss him. He was a smiley, fun, passionate, and kind kid. Steven and I had the privilege of going to school and church with Brad growing up. Brad was an incredibly hard worker, a great athlete, and a kind friend. He was always thinking about other people and was willing to put himself below others in order to care for them. Brad went to Georgia for College (where we heard he was quite the ladies man...but look at that picture and I am sure you can see why) and he also served in the US Marines. He was strong, both in mind and body. He was passionate, and that passion is what led him to sacrifice his life in order to save the life of a fellow marine while serving in Iraq. We are so proud of him, and we miss him. When Brad died, Steven and I were not dating. But in going to Brad's funeral, and spending time with each other and other high school friends after his death, we were reminded of how much we cared about each other. Shortly after his death, we started dating again and we definitely attribute so much of our getting back together to Brad. We are so grateful for him. And our gratefulness is what led us to name our son, Braden after Brad. He was named for Brad. While it is not his exact name, his name is intended to be in memory of him, because we love him, are proud of him, and hope that our son (and family) can learn from him and can one day grow into the passionate, loving, and Godly man that Brad was. (<i>update</i>: How we chose Braden: The etymology of -en is that it is a "Suffix meaning 'pertaining to', 'having the qualities of', 'like'" (<a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-en">site</a>). We hope that Braden can grow up to have the qualities of Brad, hence, Brad-en) .Thank you, Brad, for blessing us with your life and death. Thank you, Bob and Betty Arms for sharing your sweet boy with us. We miss you, love you, and are so incredible grateful for you, Brad Arms.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

So this post is a bit late, but as always, things are a bit busy around here. Since Braden was born, Steven has been taking Adelyn on outings every couple of weeks so that they can have some special daddy/daughter time. They usually get Christian's pizza and ice cream and talk about their day or whatever comes out of her little 2 year old mouth. This past week, he took her out and I painted her nails for the first time so that she could look especially pretty on their date :) She loved it! <br />
Last week, we also had the privilege of having a sleep over with Henry Kelly, who is precious and sweet, and we all love!<br />
And last but not least, Braden is 7months old. He is smiley, energetic, and busy! He continues to adore it sister, although they fight a bit more b/c he can crawl over and take Adelyn's toys. She usually says to him, "No buddy, no buddy, that's not yours." It can be really nice b/c she takes things from him that he shouldn't be playing with, or warns me if he's getting into things. It is really fun to watch them interact and actually start to play together! <br />

So this post is super late, but I didn't have the halloween pictures, my mom did, so I finally got my act together and am posting from her computer. Anyway, we had lots of fun on Halloween, continuing our tradition of going to the lawn. We didn't do any trick-or-treating in our neighborhood b/c the houses all sit on 2 acres, and we would have gotten half way to one house and then Adelyn would have given up, so instead we enjoyed the kind students who were handing out candy on the lawn only 10 steps away from each other. My parents came to the lawn to see the kids and got to take Adelyn around, which was wonderful because then I could talk to friends and didn't have to fight the crowds, and they got to be with her and Kate. All of Adelyn's friends dressed as monkeys (by chance, not on purpose) and were super cute. We decided last minute to do some VERY homemade costumes, so Adelyn went as Princess Leia and Braden was an Ewok. By the time the pictures were taken, Adelyn's hair had come down for the most part, but I thought they looked pretty cute/silly :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At one point Steven asked Adelyn if he could have a piece of her candy, and she looked at him and said, "No Daddy" and pointing to one of the lawn rooms, "They are just giving it away over there." IE why would you take my candy when they are just handing it out over there? </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This weekend, Adelyn and Braden spent the weekend at Grami and Pop Rock's house, while I got to go to Julie Dilworth's wedding in Knoxville, TN. I had a lot of fun on my baby free weekend, hanging out with my girlfriends from college (poor Steven had to work), but I think the kids also had lots of fun with Grami, Pop Rock, Aunt Catherine, and their Cousins, who also stayed the night on Friday. They had a big sleep over, lots of play time, and even got to go the the UVA football game all dressed in their orange and blue. I think everyone had a wonderful weekend! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My sweet boy turned 6 months old! He is such a joy, and while 5-7pm are not his best time of day, most of the day he is happy, and smiley, and easily entertained. He is well loved by his big sister, who often picks him up onto her lap and is constantly saying, "I want my Braden! Can I have my Braden, Mommy." He loves putting everything (literally) in his mouth, and he is also loves to be heard. He has found his voice and likes to grunt loudly, especially in the car. Last week, I was driving the two kiddos home and Braden started saying "Bah!" loudly. Then Addie said, "Shhh, Braden" which Braden welcomed as an invitation to yell louder. So my entire ride home was filled with Braden yelling "Bah" and Adelyn responding with, "SHH Braden." I didn't know whether to laugh or go crazy...I had to laugh! </td></tr>

Last Friday, Adelyn, Braden, Lisee, and I went Apple picking at Charter's mountain. It was lots of fun, and we enjoyed the warm weather, beautiful views, and delicious apples. When we first got there, I was planning on getting lunch, but unfortunately they do not serve lunch on weekdays, so we settled on donuts and apple cider. (What 2 year old wouldn't just love that for lunch!) Adelyn thoroughly enjoyed this lunch, and while sitting on a bench, looking out over the mountain, and shoving her face with donuts, we heard her say, "THIS is Apple picking!" with such enthusiasm in her voice that we about peed our pants. It was hilarious! She had discovered that apple picking was eating donuts and drinking cider, and she would have been happy if it stopped there. Of course, when we started the actual apple picking, the apples were too high, sun too hot, and hills to steep. My little girl is ALL girl, and I love her for it (even though I was the biggest tom boy there was growing up!) </div>

</div>
So, I am just loving this faze with Addie and Braden b/c they are really interacting a lot together and enjoying one another. Adelyn tries to "pick up" Braden all the time and then roll around with him, kissing him and saying, "you're a handsome boy, you're so sweet, I love you Braden." Braden is learning to be tough as his sister smothers him, and Addie is learning to be sweet because Braden loves to pull her hair and grab her face. Life with two continues to be very busy, but lots of fun, as Braden learns new tricks, like eating solids, sitting up well, and practicing crawling. Adelyn surprises me every day with the things she has learned and the new songs she loves to sing (Like "Doe a Deer" from The sounds of Music...her new favorite.) With all the busyness, I am constantly trying remember to stop and appreciate the gifts the Lord has given us. I am very grateful for my job right now, because, although it takes me away from the kids and Steven which is no fun, the break away helps me to gain perspective. And, we are, as always, grateful for our family who constantly help us and give us the little breaks away from the kids that are so necessary. Here are some pics I took of the kids together. <br />

We did one of Steven's all time favorite activities, going to a UVA football game! And fortunately, the Cavs won, giving Steven the best birthday present he could ask for. We absolutely love you, Daddy! So in honor of you, we have a photo shoot of you, the babes, and all orange and blue! </div>

Our sweet Braden is 5 months old, and I just can't believe how much time flies. He is sweet and smiley, and has become so much fun. He is sleeping much better, though still a little bit unpredictable. He went to his very first UVA football game this past weekend and, not surprisingly, loved it! He loved the colors, all the people, and of course, watching football. He loves to move, jump, and stand, and he also has started babbling a lot. This boy is going to keep me on my toes!</div>
