2 months.

Emery celebrated 2 months of life yesterday! 

She has grown out of all her newborn clothes.

She loves her bed and sleeps 5-6 hour stretches at night.

She prefers her hands over a pacifier.

She loves to look around and holds her head up pretty well. 

I always call her "smiles" because she is just all around happy.

 I love to get her to smile.  

I took these pics spontaneously after church today. 

I'm glad I did :)

Emery's newborn photo session

Newborn sessions are my FAVORITE... unless it's my own,

then it's just stressful for me.

Baby Emery was like this for most of the 3 DAYS we spent trying to get pics...

And in an attempt to get a picture of the 3 kiddos together, it wasn't looking very promising.

Then I got a few that I am SO HAPPY with :)

Here are a couple that worked out for Emery, too... and in reality, we don't need more than a few anyway, right?

Emery's Blessing Day.

This past Sunday wrapped up the most crazy summer for our family. It was Emery's special day! Dan gave her the most beautiful, spirit-filled blessing, and she was awake and perfect the entire time. We had so many family and friends come to support her, and us. I am so grateful for my family. Especially my sisters! They all came together and set up a beautiful backyard luncheon, complete with tables, food and decorations! I couldn't have pulled something so amazing together without them! Dan's brother later asked us if it was Emery's blessing or her wedding. I wish I had taken the time to pull out my camera to get more pictures of her day... I seem to be saying that a lot lately. Maybe I should get the hint for future events? 

Emery Dalene Bischoff

Easton's FIRST day of [KINDERGARTEN]

This little boy grows up more and more each day! He is such a good big brother to Nixon and Emery, and now he is in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! I am so excited for him to learn and grow more, and to make good friends. 

Since we had just moved, our computer and printer were not set up yet to print off a cute sign for him to hold, so I just scribbled one up real quick... maybe I should have just kept it out? Oh, well. I am so happy for our big kid starting school!
