These pictures, in progression, totally cracked me up after I took them. Goofy dogs.




Even though today was kind of cruddy (and yesterday...) we have been able to have some nice time outside lately. Hooray for spring! It's nice to enjoy our yard before it is no longer ours.

Where did my baby boy go?


Téah is getting better and better and riding her trike.


I know this picture will gross some of you out, but it's funny to me. Micah is obsessed with Emma. He totally loves her and goes up to her begging her to kiss her all the time and he returns the favor giving her kisses and hugs. On that same idea - Téah has taken to sleeping in Emma's bed at night. I'm not kidding! around 3 or 4am every night, Téah brings a blanket and sometimes a pillow and curls up on Emma's dog bed and spends the rest of the night with Emma. It's pretty funny!


A goofy picture of Téah in the sun. This was in the living room and the sun was pouring in the front window.


And a picture of me and Téah. (yes, taken by me. It's the only way I get pictures of myself with the kids!)

Just to continue the updates. Here are some pictures.

Micah likes to try on Téah's crown and "princess dresses." We call him Prince Mikey.


Téah tried on my new boots. They come to my knees - they come to her hip!


I believe this was after a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin breakfast.


Téah and her cousin, Gideon. (my brother, Richard's oldest).


There are no words for this.

Micah turned ONE on Friday! (Sept. 26th). I can't even begin to understand where this past year has gone. It went so fast. Micah is the most easy-going, lovable, playful, sweet little boy you could ever imagine. I can't really believe that he is headed straight for toddler-hood now. And boy is he ever! This kid is crazy and a ton of fun!

We had a party for him on his birthday and had a lot of fun with friends and family. Here are some pictures of the birthday boy from his big day.

Being cute earlier in the day:


This is Micah's new "ooh!" face. He does this whenever he thinks something is interesting or he really wants it. I think at this point it was the camera!


Opening a gift:


This is what seems to happen whenever I try to take Micah's picture anymore.


"Here, you can have this hat. I don't need it."


Micah liked playing in his cake. Once he tasted it, he was done with it though.

Note: This is the third post I have done tonight. I was feeling the need for some updates. So make sure you read all the way down!

Here is a general picture update from the last couple of months.

We've been going to John's parents' cabin a lot lately. Which is fun. Emma and Téah especially love it. Here's Emma chillin' in the big yard up there.


John, Téah and the German Shepherds in the creek.


Téah in the kitchen of the cabin. It must have been humid. Her hair is very curly here!


John and Téah on John's 31st (!) birthday.


Micah loves Emma's bowls. I have scraped dog food out of his mouth several times and if there is no food in her bowl he just plays in her water. The funny thing is it freaks Emma out and she runs away if she sees him crawling toward her bowls.


Téah with some summer corn on the cob. Some days she loves it, other days she won't touch it!


Look who can stand on his own!


Size comparison of the two kiddos as of August 2008. I have a 3 year old and an almost-one-year old. CRAZY!

She love me! She really loves me!



on another note she'll make a great mommy someday...


Micah looks mighty cute in his hat, don't you think?


This was post-bath. Her hair doesn't always look this nice.


I'm sitting, I'm sitting!! Look at me!

oh dear.

1. Micah is rolling. About a month earlier than his sister did. So far it's still few and far between. But the mobility is coming. I can feel it.

2. Téah is sleeping in a "big girl" bed for the first time tonight. Note: this means she will not be contained when she wakes up in the morning!

I am in so much trouble.

I finally got a picture of Micah's smile. It's not the greatest because it was on John's camera phone, but oh well! He's 7 weeks old tomorrow already. crazy!

This is my family. The morning after Micah was born. Téah woke up to a baby brother! I know, I know. I have a beautiful family!

No. There is no baby boy yet. Téah came so early that I feel like he is taking forever. But I haven't even reached my due date yet, so it's no big deal. Although I will not lie. I am impatient and I am feeling like he may never come at this point. Mostly, I'm just anxious to move on to the next phase. (But am I really ready for another newborn?! ACK!)

For all of those watching and waiting for news...

We had our ultrasound on Tuesday morning and found out that Téah will be welcoming a little brother! We are really excited. As of now Baby Boy Creasy has no name. Don't worry, we'll get to it.
