Every year Zach and I do something many of you probably find strange. We're actually the only ones I've ever heard of to do it but it's one of my favorite traditions! We go away for a weekend every December, just the two of us, and have our Christmas. We open all our presents to each other and just enjoy alone time. We've done this even before children, but now that we're parents I love it even more. Zach and I feel SO strongly that our marriage should come first and I think this tradition is another way that our children will grow up in a home knowing the love and security that comes from happily married parents! This year, for obvious reasons, we couldn't go away. We debated about still getting a hotel in town so it'd feel like a vacation but when it came down to it, i didn't want to mess with packing up stuff and honestly was happy just to be HOME together! We've never opened presents at our house before and it was neat to get to do that. Fr...

I know...right now you are ALL dying for the delivery story! I'm really sorry but it's gonna be a couple more days. I haven't been able to work on it b/c I had to rush order Christmas presents, Christmas outfits, and nursery decor for this new baby girl of mine ;) I'm actually only TWO blog entries behind from the delivery story so I'm going to post those first...starting with Kye's monthly summary from November! Gotta Go Show Mommy: Since Kye was born bath time has been "Daddy time." Zach's job is never regular with hours...some days he's home so early that they get a TON of time together, sometimes he's out of town for days, and sometimes he gets home just in time for bed. It all depends. I LOVE that Z does bath every night that he can as it's so important for Daddy to be part of Kye's daily routine and not just be there to play with or discipline ya know? After bath each night Kye dries off with an animal hooded towel and ev...
Hello blog world! This is Robyn over at Life, Love, and Lorelai and I'm currently hijacking Emily's blog. :) I know that we are all SUPER EXCITED about Zach and Emily's (and Kye's!) newest addition of Ms. Brittlynn! I've created a MealTrain for them HERE . If you've never heard of it, MealTrain is an online site that helps organize when people can bring meals to a family. Hopefully everyone will be able to shower this sweet family with love and let them know how excited we are for them! To sign up to bring them a meal, just follow the link above and it should walk you through how to sign up to bring a meal. Keep checking back on dates, though, because I think that they might be changing some as family comes in town, and as their church starts delivering meals as well. Thank you SO MUCH and I know that the Parker's will be so happy for your help!!
