Happy Late July!

Ok, talk about being a horrible blogger...it's been well over a month sine I posted anything. So let's fill everyone in on what's been going on.

Amber - I work every single Saturday and Sunday that I don't request off, so I'm busy every weekend. I finally had 2 Saturday's off these past 2 weeks and it was wonderful. I celebrated my 29th birthday on the 25th, but other than that I haven been doing much. I have finally gotten most of our pictures organized on the new computer. I know I have been saying it for a while, but there were almost 7000 pictures to go through, so cut me a little slack. I am now uploading them to the Picasa site as is. I will get to editing them someday

Matt - He works every weekday, so you can imagine that not much gets done around the house most days. He's having a tough time at work right now with the project he is assigned to, but we're hoping it gets better here real soon.

The girls are both growing bigger everyday. They got to take their first trip to Bear Lake at the beginning of July and LOVED it! Talk about some water babies. Just like their mama they had to be dragged out of the lake to eat and go to bed. It was great to see all of our family up there, but one special person was missing. We did find out that Isabella is awful to get to sleep anywhere but her crib, so we ended up only staying 1 night. Maybe next year we'll try camping with a camper and see if she does better. I think that brings us up to date. We are going to the Shedd Aquarium this coming Sunday so I'm sure I'll have a bunch of new pictures to put up.

Updates/ Happy June

Well the month is almost half over and I'm just getting around to posting...oh well. We haven't been up to much. Just work and some playing in between shifts. The girls are getting bigger everyday and I really need to get more of the pictures posted. I have been really bad lately. I have a free 30 day trial of some new picture editing software that I'm trying out. I'm hoping to learn it quick enough to decide if it's worth the $200 price tag. So far it seems pretty cool, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing. It seems like our summer is filling up already and summer just barely started. I just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know we are still here and haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Here are a couple of new pictures until I can get the rest up at our other site.

Isabella's hair is finally long enough for pig tails.

And the new picnic table. Emma's reward for going to bed/nap like a good girl 5 times in a row.

Forgot...

I forgot to post this a week or two ago, but there are new pictures from Emma's birthday up on the Picasa site. Here is the address: http://picasaweb.google.com/seggers12

Guess?

Can you guess who is in the box?

It's grandma and Isabella!

Check-ups

The girls had their check-ups on Monday so I figured I would update everyone. 

Emma had her 3 year check-up and was 28 pounds(25th percentile) and 35.25 inches (10th percentile). She's still a little shorty, but perfectly healthy.

Isabella had her check-up also and was 24 pounds, 10 ounces(75th percentile) and 31.5 inches(75th percentile). So she is still my giant, but also perfectly healthy. She had to have one shot while we were there and was not happy about that, but a few minutes later she was waving bye-bye to everyone and blowing kisses. 

We found out that our doctor we love so much is moving back to Pittsburgh to be closer to her family, so we are bummed about that. It also means we have to find someone new to go to. The girls also have to have their lead levels checked, so we are all going to go in 2 weeks when I have to have my thyroid rechecked. I'm not sure how they are  going to do a blood test on a 17 month old who does not stop moving, so that should be interesting.

So that is the updates for now. We are all pretty healthy and ready to start enjoying this warmer weather that is coming this weekend, although I have to work all weekend. The girls are napping now so I'm going to go sit and relax. Here are a couple of new pictures. The playhouse is one of Emma's birthday presents and the other is what Isabella does when I turn my back for a minute. 

Happy Birthday Emma!

So I'm a bad mother because I didn't post this on her birthday, but we've been busy. Her party went well and we had beautiful weather so we all got sunburned. Here are a few pictures from the party.

Yes, I know you can see up her dress, but this is the only picture of her looking at the camera that day and she has shorts on just in case.

Happy Birthday

Happy 30th Birthday! We love you!
