Easter Sunday

We went to my parent's church for Easter Service. I love church on easter especiallly all the great Easter songs.Em leaving for church.

Em enjoyed the Easter egg hunt this year... she stayed dry this year! Last year, she had a couple of accidents and we had to finish finding eggs for her last year!

Em and her Daddy "Brad" as she calls him sometimes!

Aunt Jen couldnt be with us for Easter because she is in Germany and Uncle Tony was in Augusta with his mom and dad. They made sure to get Em an easter basket though full of goodies... and not candy! Thank you so much Jen and Tony!! Good job!

Easter Weekend

Emily Grace and I headed to my parents Saturday morning. Em had a playdate with Eliana first though. Thank you so much, LB for letting Em come over and play and letting me go shopping! Em had a blast playing with Eliana.

We then headed to my parents for some fun. My parents had recently acquired this "Pink Harley" from the neighbor girl. Em rode it a little last time she was at their house, but seemed to be a little scared of it, this time she loved it! So did the rest of us!!

I even rode it with my heels!

Thanks mom and dad for letting us take the motorcycle home... Em wants to ride it every night!!

Emily Grace started dance classes and Gigi found this leotard for her... so funny to Em in it!

Gigi and Em dyeing Easter eggs.
Em enjoyed dyeing the easter eggs, but she was not all about taking her time. As soon as the egg had any color on it, she was taking it out. It was the quickest egg coloring experience ever... thank goodness we did not end up with a huge mess!

It's Been Awhile!!

I know it has been a while... I am going to try to update this the next couple of days and catch everyone up!

Feb. 2009 ~ My sister, Jennifer, moved to Landstuhl, Germany for a job. We had a nice family farewell lunch together before she left. It had been a while since it had just been the 5 of us together! We will miss Jen, but we are excited to visit. Her husband, Tony, will be moving sometime soon to be with her. His dad was diagnosed with cancer recently, so he is staying in Atlanta to be with his family a little longer at this time. Please keep Jen and Tony and his family in your prayers!

Just the 5 of us... the Schuppe Family

We celebrated Jen's birthday as well!

New Computer... New Year...

I got a new lap top for Christmas ~ thanks Brad! It is super fast, and I love it! I plan on using the computer more so hopefully that will mean I am able to blog more and keep in touch with everyone more.

Here is a recap of Christmas Eve....

We arrived to my parents the morning of Christmas Eve. Emily Grace was so excited to be going to Mimi's. We always decorate cookies on Christmas Eve. I thought it would be best if we decorated all of the cookies while Em took her nap and then just let her decorated a couple for herself. Good plan... as she liked to sneak the sprinkles into her mouth and lick her fingers.

Em's superb decorating skills!

Here is Em ready for Christmas Eve service. She loves her black boots. I figure as long as she is dressed and ready to go and she was happy those boots were fine!

Our Family

My whole family (minus Jen's husband, Tony, who had to work late)

It's been awhile...

Sorry, I know I havent blogged in a while! I will get better! Things have been busy with Thanksgiving, Em's birthday, and now Christmas. It has all been a blast!

Yesterday, Em gave us all a scare. Her cousin was carrying her on her shoulders down the stairs and Em took a tumble! I was at the doctor's office already and the nurse came in and told me I needed to get over to the pediatrician's office because Brad was there. I was thinking, "why would Brad go to the pediatrician he's not a kid!" The nurse then told me that he was there because of Em. I got to the doctor to find Em pretty much nonresponsive and throwing up. They ran a CT scan of her head, and that came back normal ~ thank God! She seemed to be doing better through out the day, but when I got home from work she just wanted to be held and kept saying her head hurt. Poor thing!

I posted some pics from the last couple of months in the posts below... 3 new posts below.
