Amaree giving a big grin for the camera as she goes to open her favorite drawers and pull something out!

HOLY COW!! Time sure gets away from us we have not updated in months. Amaree continues to be the joy of our lives. Every time we look at her we count ourselves a couple of the luckiest people on earth to have her as our own. Amaree has enjoyed the spring and the summer months, she runs to the door to be outside whenever Mom and Dad will let her. She is getting a nice little tan from being outside so much. Mom is jealous because she can't tan, she just burns. The skin type is just one more way Amaree is Andrew's little girl.

Amaree has been wearing her glasses without any problems. She asks for them in the morning and wears them all day. She loves wearing them. Every where we go, people ask about the glasses. They are amazed a such a tiny person wearing them and keeping them on.

Amaree outside getting ready to play!

Jessica's new job has been stressful and hard. The best thing about the day is coming home and playing with Amaree. She is learning lots of animal sounds and other signs. She loves the chickens and can recognize their sound. When she hears them she starts saying ch-ch! ch-ch! and pointing towards the sound. She even stops playing if a horse or other animal is on the television. She loves animals.

Amaree is so helpful! She loves throwing things in the garbage and getting things for mommy and daddy. She also drags everything out of the drawers and spreads them throughout the house.


This past week has been very tough on the family. Jessica's Uncle Scott, who came to the rescue (with Cousin Alexaus) the day Amaree was born and with whom Amaree shares a birthday, passed away. He was so great at always taking care of us, and we are having a hard time adjusting to life without him. He will be missed, and Andrew is really going to miss their fishing trips.

Andrew and Amaree with the BIG fish he caught on his last fishing trip with Uncle Scott. The fish was bigger than Amaree (and we can see how she feels about that)!
