EJ at 9 weeks and Thanksgiving

I never posted about what happened on Oct 4! I mentioned in my account of EJ's birth story that something was happening on that date. The fire chief stopped by and asked us to come to the Stillwater City Council meeting as the fire department and Region's Hospital were honoring the Firemen that delivered EJ! The were given stork pins and everything. It was pretty neat to see them again and to meet their wives and families :) We were brought up front as well when they were honoring the men. When we walked in everyone knew who we were and wanted to meet EJ. The mayor even came over to shake our hands.

For Emery's first Valentine's, her Auntie Stephie offered to take pictures of her since she was doing Valentines Day pics of her kids. She was 9 weeks at the time and I loved how the pictures turned out. I have one of them framed in our stairway so I wanted a 9 week picture of Everett to be in the hallway as well. Below is my favorite picture of Everett and then Emery's picture at 9 weeks. They are so different it makes me laugh!

​EJ is now 12 weeks and it has just flown by. I cannot believe we are past Thanksgiving and it's now time to plan Emery's 2nd birthday party. We had a very nice Thanksgiving with the Fremont's and Smidt's. We had snow so Emery got to play in the snow for the first time. She had a blast with Hudson, Gavin, Mercy, and Bayley. It is so much fun to see her love to play with other kids and to be interested in things like Paw Patrol and Sofia The First. She is growing up so fast and it's so fun!

​Below are a few pictures from out Thanksgiving.
