Emma’s scrapbook

I have finally finished Emma’s scrapbook! I am finishing up our Idaho scrapbook next. And I’m realizing I thing I had plans for another scrapbook...we will see if I do it now or wait. I’m considering keeping my scrapbooking stuff in storage, so I can work on the last one later...I’ve already bought stuff for it, but I haven’t started on it yet. I haven enjoyed working on it, but I don’t like to do it all the time. It taking up my whole dining room and table. 

But for now...here are the pages of Emma’s scrapbook! 

I realize now that the word ‘baby’ is on there 3 times. Oh well.

She was not 19 inches long...but she was wiggly, so that’s what they put. She was 18ish.

These are from my baby shower in Kansas.

The picture above is from our baby shower inTexas at the Fishers. It was great fun, as are all parties that Jennifer does. Steven had to wear an apron with a watermelon under it...while hanging baby clothes on a clothes line, putting on makeup and separating an egg. He was pretty good at all 3, much to their surprise. But it was still hilarious.

Steven switched from teaching the basic fire course to teaching Rescue about the time we got pregnant. We told people about the time he was teaching his first class. They were so generous...went in to get us a gift card, a family figurine,  and all wrote in this card! Seriously, we were so blessed by everyone! 

Just realized I put some of these pictures in there twice. Oops.

This party was actually not on her birthday. This was her second 1st birthday party...once again thrown by Jennifer. She threw her this party literally the day after Steven got home from Afghanistan. Jennifer did a much better job than me at the first birthday thing, glad we have these memories as I have no pictures from the party I threw.

So as I was finishing her scrapbook this week, I came across some pictures that I just couldn’t resist putting in here! You see Guen holding Emma right before they moved to Alaska...Emma has never met her since, and I long for the day they do! And Daddy holding Emma at Guen’s second birthday.

These were pictures taken by our worship leader’s wife when Emma was 9 days old. 

This is not in her first year, technically, but I had to put it in!
