Well life really was still waiting for us after Emma was born -but we had no idea how busy it would really be!
Emma Louise Deenik arrived into our lives on August 16, 2008 @ 12:43 p.m. weighing 9 lbs., 9 oz. and measuring 22" long! She was a biggun!
I ended up taking a full 3 mos. off from work due to postpartum depression. It wasn't a surprise to struggle with it considering my past bouts with depression, but I had no idea how bad it could be. Thank goodness for a loving and supportive husband!
It is now x-mas break. We just celebrated my Mom's 60th birthday yesterday. Quite a miracle considering her heart attack earlier this year. We are all very glad she stuck around and are taking bets as to how much longer we have with her. I made her promise to make it 15 more years and then we'd talk again!
Evan discovered the truth of Santa this year, so Christmas will be pretty easy considering Emma won't know any different. Each child will get a few things and we'll just enjoy the nice quiet day together - having Dad with us for the first time in 5 years!
Nikki is coming to visit today (x-mas eve) and we are very excited to see her! Tomorrow will be relaxing and Friday will be the Jacobs' family x-mas, Emma's next photo session, and I may be babysitting JR and Jacob. So we're in for a busy end to the week! Merry Christmas!

I saw the link to your blog on another so I thought I'd check for updates. Thanks for having us over for Erin's party! We had a good time. Hope the transition back to the normal work schedule was okay :). I wasn't looking forward to Darrin going back but I just keep thinking...THAT MEANS WE'RE CLOSER TO SUMMER BREAK!
