Well in the last 6 or so months, we've been very busy w/ our growing baby girl.
AUGUST
Her 6 month photos...
SEPTEMBER
Early September, Chris' parents were able to come out for a quick visit! It was Chris Sr.'s first time meeting E, so it was a wonderful time. Emery was able to snuggle w/ her Grandma and Grandpa Crouch for a few good days.
Mid month, some friends offered up their beach house to us for the weekend, so we took a short family trip to Seaside where the weather was GORGEOUS. Emery was able to really touch the sand for the first time... she just wanted to eat it.
September was big for us. In August I gave my "extended" notice to my office, and my last day was the 3rd of September. Being completely gone didn't last very long. I go back to train new employees and pop in about once a week to clean up their medical records inbox and anything else that might be behind. :) What can I say? THey need me! :)
After cutting my hours to nearly nothing, and being able to stay home w/ our peanut.. I took in our friends' daughter on Wednesdays for Emery to play w/. They have a blast together.
And Emery took her first trip to the zoo!

The 5th started w/ a Happy 27th birthday to me! We spent the morning and afternoon up in the mountains playing in the snow!
Followed by a nice date night! Woo hoo! :) Christopher surprised me w/ an iPhone, which I completely adore, and a movie! Best birthday in years!!!
We decorated for Christmas... :)
And had the most amazing 1st Christmas as a family!!!
The new year has begun and we are just getting settled. Emery will be 1 year old before we know it. She's walking, saying quite a few words, and getting just a little bit of attitude! :) We are loving our life!!! To a fantastic 2010!!!
