Snug as a PUG in a rug. ; )
Sorry that I haven’t been around very often lately! We have had a case of the sickies over here! I hope that you are enjoying this special season with your family and friends! I am so excited to spend Christmas with my little girl. : )
God bless, Tera
Such a creative post title…hee hee. ; )
There’s nothing quite like a BIG pile of leaves for fall frolicking. : D I seriously love fall…it’s my favorite season.
Our family has only 3 paychecks left until Christmas. Can you believe that?
While you’re visiting, pop on over to my other blog.
God bless,

Surely, my BABY girl does NOT look like this…
And, there is just NO WAY that she could possibly look grown up like this…
*SIGH*
Just ONE year ago she looked like this…
And this…
*SIGH*
The tutu that Emma wore for her 2nd birthday went down to her FEET…that same tutu now comes down to her KNEES!! : O
Where oh where did my baby go???
And, just three SHORT years ago, my teeny tiny baby looked like this…
And this…
And this…
The photos immediately above were taken when Emma was around three weeks old. We were able to visit her for the first time in Guatemala while we were signing a bit of preliminary paperwork to get the Guatemalan side of the adoption process going. Emma was barely five pounds at that time. Look at how TINY she was compared to Jason’s hand! Can you believe it? She was swimming in the preemie clothes that we had purchased for her.
We were SMITTEN.
I ache to reach into these photographs to hold my sweet and oh so tiny baby girl.
Emma, you are a true GIFT. You are a treasure and Mommy’s dream come true. Feliz cumpleaños. Te amo mi amor.
Don’t worry…
More party pics to come. : D
God bless,
Tera
I have soooo much catching up to do here at my blog it’s not even funny! Emma’s Grandma who lives in North Carolina came to visit, we went to the State Fair, to the zoo, etc. Here are a few “catching up” pics… (there will be at least one more catching up post to come soon)
Roasted corn at the Minnesota State Fair! We didn’t think that we would end up going to the fair this year, so we really did relish our time there! (Pam…these photos are for YOU, friend!!!!) : D
The carousel…Emma’s FAVORITE.
If you have ever been to the MN State Fair, then you are familiar with the GIANT SLIDE!! Can you spot Jason and Emma? Hee hee. : ) Emma walked up ALL of the steps by herself up to the tippy top of the slide and she was not scared at all about going down.
A tradition…we enjoy our guacamole and Beer-garitas from Tejas as we watch karaoke. Hee hee… : ) GOOD TIMES!!
A few photos from this week…
I have to throw in a pic of Gumpus…’cause he’s just so CUTE. : )
This time of the year, the high temps are usually in the low 70s. However, today we reached the mid 80s and Emma ENJOYED an afternoon in her pool! I think she went down her slide about 344584754857487584 times. ; D
And, I took about 344584754857487584 photos of her that look just like this. : )
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…the summer has been sweet!
God bless,
Tera
Fun and random photos from August 2009. Enjoy! : D
My girl likes her boots.

Where oh where has my baby gone?
My beautiful nieces.

Love this.
Love this even more!
Fun at the MN Zoo splash pad.
So cute…
Even cuter…
Okay…cuter still.
YEEEEHAAAW!!!
I cannot believe that August is half over…can you? Crazy! : )
God bless,
Tera
We have a new addition…
Yes, a PUG!
A pug is on the premises. : )
If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, then you know about this already.
Life has been so busy here for the past couple of days, I haven’t taken the opportunity to blog about our new little pug. : ) Emma wants to get up from her non-nap (hee hee) so I don’t have a lot of time to post this but I will tell you that our Pug’s name is “Gumpus”…short for “Silly Gumpus”. He was named by his breeder. He is two years old. He is getting along great with Emma. We are in a two week little trial period with this little guy…but, so far so good. He is very sweet and gentle. Here are a few pics: : )
God bless,
Tera
