Happy Birthday Emily!

Happy Birthday to Tim's sister Emily, who is turning 14 today! Emily came and stayed with us last summer. We had lots of fun times swimming in Ranae and Joanna's pool, doing VBS, and playing her violin (with me playing the keyboard) at the tent meeting. She was properly tortured by us not telling the name we had picked out for our baby! :)- She said she is not going to come back to stay with us tho, because of the infestation of little critters that we have every year in Missouri! =) The ants were terrible and somehow we got hundreds of cockroaches too! We love you Em and are so happy that you want to serve Jesus!

Emily and Charissa about a week and a half after C was born 

This was at Christmas time. Charissa was 6 wks. 

Charissa's Four Month Pictures

Four months

My little baby is four months now! She has just started hold a toy and playing with it, but if she loses it she gets really sad!

Happy Cherry girl!

Fun floor time with Mommy and Daddy!

Doesn't my hair look red?:)

 Trying to get away from mommy' kisses

She just learned to roll over! This picture was taken that night.

Charissa's week old picture

My mom came to visit on the 16th and dad came on the 19th. We enjoyed having them here and they enjoyed 

their new first grand baby. 

Tim's family came on the 21st for Mother's family Thanksgiving/Christmas in Columbia, MO and they stopped by Joplin for a couple of days. They (Aunt Emily in particular:) took lots of pictures of Charissa. This is one of them.
