Dad/Papa - We hope you have a very special birthday today! We love you very much and are so thankful to have you in our lives. You bring so much life and joy into our family and we think you're a very special Papa to Emily too! Have a special day! Thanks for the fun b-day celebration this weekend too - we had a blast getting the whole family together!

Feelin' a little boxed in lately, but we are "moving" right along

Well, moving day is officially scheduled for the end of this week! WOW, I can hardly believe it's already upon us, but again we really only had about three weeks to pack, find a place, move and get settled in before Ernie starts his new job! We are thrilled about the changes in store for our family and eager to watch Ernie flourish in his new surroundings! Please keep our family in your prayers throughout the next couple of weeks as we move, get settled in and adjust to a new schedule without "Daddy" around much! We PROMISE to keep in touch! Thanks to all of our family & friends who have helped us out by watching Emily, helping us pack and other items of business! We appreciate your willingness to help and we couldn't have done it without you! This will be one of the last blogs for a bit - but don't worry I'll be back with pictures of our new place! STAY TUNED! :)

The packing has officially started!

Our little peanut in the midst of all the chaos!

Many of Emily's belongings are packed!

Ernie, our diligent worker

Ernie rigged a really cool hook to haul empty boxes up over our balcony!

Boxes galore, it's starting to really hit home!

Thanks to all our family & friends for your willingness to help out with Emily while we pack! It's a HUGE help to get things done without her needing our full attention all of the time! So, your generosity is GREATLY appreciated and we can't thank you enough!

Reading programs that offer rewards

I heard from a couple of different friends about these reading programs that you can use (both to read to your kids, or allow them to read on their own) and receive rewards in return! Sounds like a lot of fun.

The first program is with the Omaha Public Library. Complete a level by reading or listening to books, audio books, magazines or kits. When you complete a level, you are eligible for special prizes at your Omaha Public Library. There are different levels of prizes offered as well. The second reading program with is through Half Price Books is available until the end of July.

Emmy's 1st indoor playground experience

We headed to Mahoney State Park's indoor play area last week with many families from our church last week, for our weekly Play date! Emmy had never experienced a playground to this magnitude and only experienced one very small portion of it due to her own size limitations! She did enjoy the small amount she experienced though, especially with her friend Jazzy who helped her get over the obstacles and accompanied her down the slide a number of different times! Thanks Jazzy, for being such a great friend and helper for Emmy!
