Fun at the Beach

Cameron had to coach down at the gulf this weekend, so the girls and I tagged along! Our friends, Sam and Christin came too! Our girls are all about a year apart and they have such a great time! We had a great time and now I'm ready for some warm weather!

Birthday Party

Well, February 18th was a nasty day but that didn't stop us from having fun!!!

Birthday Girl

I can't believe I'm already writing this post. I feel like it was just yesterday I was sitting in the hospital writing a quick blog to tell the world about Emory's arrival. It's been a great year! Emory, you have brought more joy to the Craker House than I could have ever imagined possible.
You are full of personality, and like things to be YOUR way. You love your mommy, and believe that you should be permanently attached to my hip.
You are Miss Independent, and your temper makes us laugh. Patience is not something that you have. :) You are going to be a go getter, that's for sure! The way you interact with Ella takes my breath away and makes me smile. You put her in her place from time to time, and it's hysterical. You are walking when you want to. But you know that crawling will get you from point A to point B much more quickly....
Your favorite foods are potatoes, ham, and green beans. Let's face it, you like everything! I love that, especially since your big sister eats nothing. You love to play with anything that has lots of parts to take apart and put back together. Maybe you'll be an engineer or surgeon....
I never felt like our family was incomplete before you were born, but now that you are here I feel like our family is sooooooo completely perfect. My heart sometimes feels like it is going to explode.
We love you Emmecat!!!! Happy Birthday Sweet Love!
