A new, favorite picture

Oops!  I let the blog slide again.  Shame on me.  We are all doing great, with the exception of colds for everyone.  Craig is actually recovered, but he passed it to the kids and I.  Yuck.  Both Mallory and Emerson made it just over 8 months without any illnesses though, so we are happy about that. 

Emerson got his first tooth about a week after Mallory, and his other bottom tooth has also made an appearance.  Mallory also learned how to clap around the same time.  She thinks it is the greatest thing and she enjoys clapping along while we sing "Pat-a-cake". Cute.

If you look carefully, you can see Mallory's teeth!

I turned a year older at the end of February and enjoyed not one, but two birthday celebrations! My dad came on my actual birthday to watch the kids while Craig and I went to lunch.  I then spent the rest of the afternoon shopping for myself and enjoying a coffee.  It was quiet and so nice to know I had as much time as I wanted.  My dad also cooked us a fabulous homemade Chinese food dinner and Craig (who doesn't bake) made me a german chocolate cake.  My second birthday celebration was with my mom and Scott. We went out for Mongolian BBQ and frozen yogurt during the day.  My mom made us my favorite meal, beef stroganoff, for dinner.  Craig and I then enjoyed a date night out at a Spokane Chiefs hockey game.  After all that fun, I decided turning 32 wasn't so bad.
