Samantha came to babysit!

Okay, I have decided to try and catch up with things. During the first week of August (yes, August) cousin Sam came to stay the week and babysit Emma while we were working. Emma absolutly LOVED it!! Sam, come back whenever you want!!

This is Emma back in August. It is so hard to believe at that 7 1/2 months at that time, she is playing like she is. Here is is digging in her toy box.

Here is Emma and Daddy down at her Great-grandparent's house. She was helping her great-grandpa Alva open some of his b'day gifts. I can't wait until her b'day, she is going to have a blast! (I guess she had the same shirt on that day.)

Okay, I have about a month and a half to catch up with. I am on a mission to do that ASAP. So keep watch for new posts hopefully by the end of the day!!

Evan

My good friend Emily finally had Evan on July 27, 07. I am sure most of you have been hearing me talk about Emily and waiting for her to have her baby boy! I am so excited, especially since Emma and him are only 8 months apart. Give them a few months and it won't seems like such a size difference. Emma of course wanted to pull some of his hair out while visiting. (She was very tired.)

I also have to mention how bittersweet this is. Evan was born on the same day that my Grandpa passed away and for that I think Evan will always be special to us.

Here are a couple of pics.

(Emily, I hope to come and spend some time with you guys soon!)

He is so precious.

I am not sure if Emma know what to think?!

Thank You

Just wanted to say "Thank You" to you all who came to either the visitation or funeral of my gramps, or to those who have been very supportive during this time.
He will be deeply missed, but I know he is in a much better place now.

Thanks!

Gramps - you'll be missed.

My Gramps that was like a dad and helped raised me and my sister passed away last Friday 7/27/07 at Saint Mary's Hospital. For all you that have known him, we was a quite the guy. And for anyone that he has met, he has touched in one way or another. He was always there for me and Megan as our "dad". He did everything that a dad is suppose to do for us, and for that - I will always be grateful! If you would like to read a bit about him and send a tribute for us to read, visit: www. lundbergfuneral.com and click on him name - Gerald "Jerry" McWaters. His visitation will be on Wednesday from 4-8p at Lundberg Funeral Home in Cannon Falls and his funeral is on Thursday at Urland Lutheran Church at 2p. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Here are some pics. that I had near, so I thought I would share. . .

Updates. . . .

We have been keeping busy. . .

Emma is almost eight months!! Everyday is so much fun, you never know what she is going to do next. My Grandpa went unexpectedly (sp?) into the hospital last weekend and now is in Intensive Care, please send a prayer up for him and my Grandma. We have been going down to the hospital everyday now. I stay the first night, I have realized that I CANNOT do that anymore!! I guess I am getting old! For now here are some pictures that I have taken within the last month or so that I have meant to post.

And. . .

Happy Birthday to Susan last Friday and to Emily, I am WAITING very patiently for a phone call! (I am so excitied!)

Love you all and take care!

These were taken at our families 4th of July get together. Megan thought it would be fun to dress Emma up in flowers. I am not sure if Emma knew what to think, eh?

Emma got a new toy a couple of weeks ago. It's kind of funny b/c whenever Emma is playing with it, Tommy needs to play too!

Last Friday we took a trip to Megan's & Mark's.

Here is Emma's new look. This is her goofy smily that she has been doing quite often.

Some cute/funny ones . .

Emma first time in her new swimming pool . . .

Notice that Emma pulled her hat off and it is not a toy in the pool.

Happy Birthday Derek!
