Another Collage

Just making another collage for the desktop...aren't they just beautiful!!

Easter 2009

It's hard to believe that it is Easter again. The girls had a wonderful, beautiful Saturday with Nana, Papa, each other and me. We hunted for eggs, played outside in the beautiful sun, and then had hot dogs!

Above is a mosaic picture I made of all the pics from Saturday. We knew it was going to rain on Sunday so we did it a little early.

But, even though the heavens brought rain today, I believe it was a reminder for us all the price that was paid. Happy Easter!

Newest Pics of the Snow Girls

New Camera

I finally got a camera (a very nice Canon Digital Rebel). It was used, but she took excellent care of it and I LOVE it. Here are a few pics of the girls....countdown to Gracie's birthday. Can't believe we will have a 2 year old in a few weeks. Speaking of birthdays...I will be 31 in 2 weeks...can't believe that either.

Emma received her goals this week from her IEP and she is doing great. She has her goals 3/4 accomplished. At this point you would expect her to be 1/2. We are very proud of big school girl!

New Pics

During Fall Break, I took the girls to get their pictures made. We had a great time! We were there for 30 minutes...they weren't very cooperative. Enjoy!

Emma starts school Monday...hopefully all will go well!

New pics

Well, we have tried twice to get good pictures of Gracie, but she just hasn't cooperated! Here are their newest pictures! Enjoy!!

First Day of School

My big girl started school today!! She did great. her teacher emailed me this afternoon and said that Emma cried a little, but had fun. When I picked her up she seemed in good spirits. Mommy did fine too! I thought I would cry when she did, but I didn't! It was a long 2 1/2 hours though...very quiet at the house! She goes twice a week for the summer and then three days in the fall and spring.

Baby Dedication

What a wonderful day in our family. Gracie was dedicated back to God today and our new pastor officiated the ceremony. It was beautiful. He and his wife did a fantastic job. His wife prayed for me as a mother to a mother and he prayed fro Craig as a father to a father. Then he laid the baby on the altar as Abraham did Isaac and said a beautiful prayer. It was amazing. Then he had the most powerful sermon about how to handle life's storms and discouragements. It was a touching moment for my soul. Sometimes it just needs a little "lift."

What a week

What a week in the life of the Snow family!! I have been sick, Craig has been sick, then Gracie got sick. My goodness!! Gracie went to the pediatrician this week and she is 11 pounds 2 ounces!! Oh my gosh, I just couldn't believe it!!! Emma was six months old before she was that big!! Gracie started social smiles and boy does she love her momma the best!! Of course, I am the author of the blog..so I can be Queen of the World if I want!

Emma has started saying three more words this week: Eat, Balloon (ba-oon), and eyes. She has even been drawing pictures that resemble people (as much as a 2 1/2 year old can). I can't wait to tell our therapists that this week.

This is my last week of maternity leave....I am just sick about it. I like my job, but I will miss being home...How I wish I could be a stay at home mom....maybe one day the state will fund family insurance for teachers. Let's hope!

We are BACK!

Vacation was great! Very restful and the lake was so peaceful. However, Mommy and the Snow bean were in bed the first two days...evidently the Snow bean doesn't like 100 degree weather and made Mommy rest!

Emma had fun and Daddy was able to travel on lots of nature trails...by himself because Mommy and the babies weren't up for that!!

I think my favorite part of the trip was on the way home we stopped and toured the USS Batfish. It was very interesting and fun!
