Emma's New Scooter!

Since Papa was going to be out of town on business for Emma's birthday party he came over early with Gramma and Uncle Zach to deliver her birthday gift.  She got a red scooter with her name on it!  So fun!

The girls were having a blast running around chasing each other!
We all had a blast watching them.

Loving our yard!

We are so in love with our backyard.  Even though it is January this past week the temps have been in the high 60's in the afternoons and evenings.  We have spent a lot of time grilling, playing on the playscape, in the sandbox, on the roller coaster, writing with sidewalk chalk and feeding the ducks.  The canal is so fun!

Best friend

After church today, when I went to pick up Ryan from Sunday school I asked her what she learned about. She replied "Jesus is my friend."  We started a conversation about friends and how great it is to have good friends.  Ry was in one of her fun moods where she is willing to answer all of my mom questions.  In the car headed home I asked her who her best friend is.  I started giving her choices from her favorite friends at school "Isabella, Sierra, Eily....."  She quickly interrupted me and said "No, Mom. My best friend is Emma!" Made me smile from the inside out.

Love my sweet and silly Munch!
I was second on her best friend list :-)

5 Weeks until our next Half!

After our 7 mile run.
We are loving the cool weather and running together on Sundays!
(Thanks to Pa!)

Fun at the park!

The girls love to go high!

Play date in Frisco

Ryan, Emma and I went to Frisco for the morning to spend some time with Kristi, Ashlyn and "baby Paxton"  (Ryan always says it in a sweet little voice). The kids played and then we ventured out to lunch. I didn't get any pictures of Paxton or Emma, but I got a few of Ry and Ashlyn strolling hand in hand. :-)

Sweet girls.

Post play date car ride home.  Success!
