Family Pictures

Kenneth's Birthday--April 2010

Meyers Family Party! Part 1

I am just going to post a bunch of pictures of our family party.  See if you can find yourself!!

 

It's Been Way Tooooooooo Long...

......since I have done anything to my blog! My lazy! I am going to add some pictures and comments from the last few months for anybody who is interested!



It's interesting what I find on my computer! These are self-portraits on Emily's 18th birthday, November 21, 2009! For some reason that Kenneth and I don't get, is that the number 18 is some magical, mystical number that means Emily is an adult! This concept--understood and misunderstood--is cause for grief!

She will graduate in June 2010. She does not want to go to college. Just wants to get a job and move out on her on! She is a beautiful and intelligent young woman. We love her dearly. I have told her over and over how I felt when she was placed in my arms at the adoption agency. I had the most peaceful feeling that our family was complete! She is and has been a joy to our family.

We love you Emily!

Since these pictures, however, she has a new hair color. She is now very dark brown with purple tones. I'll get a picture up soon. Hopefully before another color change!

I miss having Emma every day! What a joy it was to be able to help Amy and Rodger so Amy could finish out her teaching contract year! She is growing so much and will soon be one year old! More on her later!

She was just learning about turning over.

Who wouldn't miss those beautiful blue eyes! Since this picture
she has lost her curl in her hair! But still cute as ever!
(Forgot to rotate the picture!) Just another of Emily doing one
of the things she loves--checking her e-mail! Plus while checking
her e-mail she listens to music, looks at blogs, etc.

A SLEEPING BEAUTY!!

I just couldn't resist this little darling sucking her thumb

with her fingers poking her in her eye!!
She was beginning to wake up and then found her thumb!!
She is finding her thumbs, her fingers, her shirts, her blankets,
her burp cloths, and anything else she can get into her mouth!
Even someone else's hand, arm, or finger! It's no surprise
we love her. She is so much fun!

Learning to sit up by herself!

She still needs some help sitting up, but she loves to try!

And she is so happy!
And she loves her little caterpiller that sings,
counts, and plays music!

She is so bright-eyed! She loves to look all around at everything!

She especially loves bright lights and likes to look out the windows
when the days are so bright!

Emma's 3 1/2 months old now!

After a nap, I unwrap her and she just loves to kick her legs

and wave her arms......
......and she loves to suck on her fist....

....and Amy thinks she may be teething.....

....'cause she sucks on everything and she drools like crazy!

She loves this pose! Amy says it reminds her of King Richard
(from Disney's animated Robin Hood) when he sucks his thumb

and holds onto his blanket!!
