Emma has sure taken her sweet time learning to walk. She has no problem walking behind a toy or holding onto your hand, but she just doesn't have the courage to let go and take a few steps herself. I was actually getting a little concerned that she was now 14 months old and still not taking any steps by herself. Last night we had a yummy dinner that Kelly prepared for me as a birthday gift. It was wonderful and the girls got to play with Jack and all of his toys (this is quite the treat as they don't get to play other places often). Emma was sitting on Kelly's lap and I was trying to convince her to take some steps, she took one very small step and I wasn't sure it counted but then we were able to get her to do a real step, actually it was almost 2 steps by herself, it was very exciting. Jack was clapping for her and cheering...it was so cute that he knew it was a big moment for her. Soon Emma and everyone was cheering and clapping with him because he was just so excited you couldn't help but join in.
A quick update on our other two walkers: Olivia is doing well and can walk 15 steps or more by herself but just doesn't have a lot of interest in doing so. Savannah only walks now, she is very good and can kind of run a little, which has its benefits when she doesn't want to share a toy.

Three Little Monkeys
Three little monkeys jumping on the couch...
We no longer have little baby girls, but rather three little (cute) monkeys. These kids climb onto everything. In order to get onto the couch they take their little chairs and push them against the window then climb onto the window seal, walk along the window then climb onto the side table and onto the couch...they are very good at this. Don't you think it would be easier to just push the chair to the couch and climb up...they would rather do it the long way. Olivia also climbs on top of her toys too, I have a picture of this little monkey in action!

Sarah's Big Birthday
So yesterday I turned the big 3-0, I guess for some this is a hard birthday but for me I wanted to celebrate, I feel young...I already have 3 kids and I'm only 30 right? Anyway Scott and I tried to plan a murder mystery dinner but we just couldn't get all of our friends to stay in town for the same weekend. I was very disappointed in not having a party but we figured we would do something the weekend after my birthday even if it was just Scott and I. I woke up yesterday and it was just a plain day, when I left for work Scott promised it would get better that night but I was skeptical.
At lunch Scott and the girls picked me up and we went to the park, unfortunately it was such a hot day we couldn't stay very long. The girls had fun though and at least I was able to see them for a little while.
That evening, I left work about 15 minutes early...I mean it was my b-day right. On the way home I talked to one of my friends and she was very understanding about me having a boring b-day. When I got home I walked in to find the babies standing at the gate smiling at me and all kinds of decorations in the house. I asked the girls what was going on and where was daddy. Apparently he had planned a surprise party and I had ruined it by being early. I was actually not the first one there, Jen-Lynn and Larry had been at the door when I pulled up but I did not even notice them duck around the corner. Scott had been outside grilling the hamburgers and had not heard them ringing the bell. So I did get a few minutes to see the girls and freshen up before all my guests arrived. It was really a great party with lots of food, friends, family and even a game!
