Blog-logged

Okay, so I haven't been posting much lately, but I had a very busy weekend and took lots of pictures and decided it was time to blog again!  Brian and I just got back from Fresno visiting some very good friends.  It was Amy's 30th birthday and she had a party in their GORGEOUS new home.  Our condo could fit in their garage!  We had a wonderful time catching up with them.  We spent the night Friday night and then headed over to the Bomar's home.  Emily and Luke had so much fun hanging out with each other---and the mom/dad's had fun talking too.  

Sidebar---Many of you may remember our desperate request for prayer on behalf of Luke Bomar.  Steve and Anne were told just nine hours after his birth that his chances of survival were slim to none.  Luke just celebrated his first birthday and he is SO precious!  I got to look through their memory books from the past year and it was really neat to be reminded of just how GOOD God is.  Thank you for your prayers for him!  He is certainly all boy and Emily tried to keep up, but as evidenced in pictures below--- she didn't quite keep up all of the time!

Emily, Amy and me
Ooohhh...look at those kissable lips

Going in for the kiss....

Bliss!!!!
Hmmm...I have an idea
TACKLE!!!! (Check out his hand on her nose)


Luke shared his brand new Radio Flyer, I was pulling her, but Luke decided he wanted to push instead.  
Emily's first Sandbox experience
Another sidebar---my daughter does not like to eat anything but milk, cereal and vegetables.  I have tried just about every kind of fruit that she is allowed to have at this age and she hates them all!  She never once spit out her veggies, in fact, she is a pretty clean eater---nothing on her chin almost ever.  The picture below is from today while eating pears/cereal.  Again, she HATES fruit!  She was screaming so loud, Brian came in from the garage to find out what was going on!  I had to make her some new food and she ate up every bit of it.  Any hints to get her to like fruit?  Or do I just bask in the glory of her love of veggies?

So Oliver has some competition with Emily since apparently she is getting kissed by another boy. Although she may not like fruit I really like that picture

Love the pictures!

I'd definitely say embrace the veggies. She'll develop a sweet tooth soon enough. GREAT PICTURES!!!!

Those are such cute pics. I can't believe she hates fruit! Usually pediatricians want you to start with veggies cause once they have fruit they will never eat veggies again. So good for her! I'm sure that is much healthier cAuse it doesn't have all the sugar....

I absolutely remember your family asking for prayers for little Luke and it brought tears to my eyes seeing his face and reading that he is one. I don't even know them, but I'm praising the Lord with them! What if you mixed fruits with the veggies? Maybe a little pear/carrot medley? :)

LOVING the pictures!!! We had a great weekend with you guys too. To everyone else reading...thanks for your prayers - we needed them!

Great pictures!

I say be thankful she loves the veggies, you never know how long this will last. As a baby, Brian loved just about anything but fruit. He was never given "baby food". We did the "natural" thing, ground up everything until he went to table food. Brian didn't even like french fries.

I think Auntie Alyse would agree the only thing good in baby food fruit are pears.

I can't believe how big she is getting--what a cutie!

having no kids myself yet (and hopefully to remain as such for another 3-5 yrs!), all I can say is that is the cutest thing I've seen all day!
