HEAVY HEARTS

Yesterday we recieved news that our dear friends Josh and Angie gave birth to their first baby girl. She was born at 23 weeks...she weighed 1lb 4 oz. They named her Emma Joy (Josh's late grandmother's name) before they sent her home to be with Jesus. It was truly a miracle that she made it to 23 weeks. We are saddened by their loss but we rejoice knowing that she has been reunited with her maker. See you in heaven Emma Joy!

Hallie is a busy girl...

Hallie took quite the spill today! She loves to pull herself up on our coffee table and attempts to walk around it...However, she ended up falling in the process and ended up with a nasty bruise on her head.

Hallie lately (9 months):
She is a fast little crawler!
She pulls up and takes steps while holding on!
She wears 18 month clothing!
She is constantly smiling!
She loves just about anyone but especially kids!
She is super social!
She says mama and da da!
She waves bye bye and hi!
She has NO teeth!
She is our joy!

Our little Miss Hallie Kate!

We were at Grays Lake in Des Moines!
