Here is a shot taken with my new love. And, my first real attempt at photoshop! How'd I do?

Does #2 look any better???

Anna, feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what I can do to improve--ANY TIME!!! These were some of the first pic ever taken with my camera, so of course they're not that great (like in these, I noticed that she's looking away from the light source which prob. isn't the best). Hopefully I'll get there some day!

MY Emmy! This is not the greatest pic. technically speaking, but I just love her little face!

My first picture taken with my new toy! Can you believe it... my hubby surprised me with a Cannon Rebel XT on Valentine's Day (and I only got him a couple ties and some treats)!!! I want to post more pics--not that they're real good or exciting, but just for fun--however, I haven't figured out how to re-size for web, so I can only post one at a time. Please bare with me!

P.S. I cut Krista's hair last week. You can't quite tell in this pic, but she looks much more grown up. It's actually quite cute when it's fixed right!

Here are some random images I like. Enjoy!

I haven't posted in a while, so here are some pics from Christmas. I DO apologize for the horrible quality; I want a new camara SOOO badly! I hope you can see them well enough (they're so dark). I just love the one of Krista sitting in her chair, wearing her high-healed shoes, carrying her purse, and talking on her cell phone. GIRLS--you gotta love 'em!

These precious pictures were taken by a photography student (Caroline Simmons) when Emma was just SIX days old! She did such a good job. I had such a hard time narrowing down my favs. Sorry there are so many; there are many more where these came from! Click on the close-ups below to see Emma's LONG eyelashes--they're incredible. Enjoy!

We LOVE our Emma!

Here's my one and only attempt at getting Christmas card pics this year. This photo session pretty much cured me of any desire I might have had to be a photographer. After much pain and frustration, these were the best pics I got, and that's saying something. I am amazed, however, that I actually documented the first real kiss Krista has given Emma.

We've had some pretty big snow storms lately. I always get jealous when I talk to my sis in Tx and she's walking to the park in 80 degree weather. Anyways I thought this was funny because it's the typical sequence of events: we're happy, then we fall in the snow, and suddenly it's not so much fun anymore.

My ADORABLE girls! What joy they bring to my life!!!!

We are soooooooooooooo grateful for all the visitors and loved ones who have helped SO much since the birth of little Emma. We love you all and miss those who have gone back home (that's you mom and dad).

Krista loves her baby sister... so far (I hope she realizes she's here for good)! In the hospital, when they would take the baby away, Krista would constantly ask where the baby went and even went so far as to look for her under the pillows and blankets. Although I didn't think so at first, I'm beginning to realize that Emma looks JUST like Krista's baby pics. It will be interesting to see what she'll be like--looks and personality.

Well baby #2 has arrived! Emma Kay Wright was born at 5:12pm on November 29th (five days late). She weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz. and is the sweetest thing you ever did see. This labor and delivery were COMPLETELY different from Krista's. As most of you know, I had Krista without an epidural and absolutely LOVED that experience; everything went perfectly. With Emma, my water broke at 5:30am but contractions were slow to come and I wasn't progressing. I got pitocin at around 1:00 and finally gave in and got an epidural at 3:00 when the pitocin contractions were out of control (they're a lot harder than natural ones). It was extremely hard there for a while especially since the epidural wouldn't kick in at first, but once I got it things picked up in a hurry. I went from a 4 to baby's head appearing in about two hours time, and I only pushed like twice. I admit it was an emotional/difficult laboring experience for me, but the end result was beautiful and wonderful and miraculous. Everyone is healthy and happy now and that's all that matters. Anyways, it's so good to be home now and have our sweet Emma with us, She really is an angel; she's such a good girl and we love her to death. Krista is having a lot of fun with her and is already such a good helper, bringing her toys or blankets etc.; let's hope it stays that way! Thanks for your love and prayers!

I just LOOOOVE this pic. Anna took back in September! Krista loves her daddy so much; they're good buds!!!

Here are some cute pics that my friend Shannon took back in May! My little baby is growing so FAST!!!

Here are some more from the other day; I just think she looked so cute! But I don't know if these pictures are cute? I took the fire-hydrant pics for Anna-hehe. How strange is this though, the first thing she does when we get over by it is kiss it! Now everytime we go by the hydrant she kisses it (she does the same with other random items)-- what's up with that?!?! Anyway, are these cute? I don't know.
