Thanksgiving 2012

Dear Amelia and Max -

Our Thanksgiving started the Saturday before. We headed over to Aubby, Doodie and Emery's for Thanksgiving with Papa Jim! 

On actual Thanksgiving, Max and I headed to Minnetonka High School to participate in the Turkey Trot! It was a beautiful day, I didn't even wear a jacket! 

 Then we went over to Glamma and Cookies for Colehour Thanksgiving where we did a little skyping with the Stephens!

I am so Thankful for you two, it isn't even funny! Daddy too :)

Love,
Mom

Amelia + Jaxy, VA style

Dear Amelia and Max -

On November 9th, Amelia - I dropped off you and Cookie to head to Virginia to visit Billy, Pam and Jackson. Glamma was doing some business travel so she just met you there. I dropped you guys off very early and shed a little tear watching my big girl head off without her Mommy or Daddy. 

 You and Jaxy have such a special relationship, you love each other so much - its the cutest thing EVER!

 You didn't even miss us but we sure missed you!

Daddy, Max and I didn't do much of anything...just took cute pictures of Max!

Love,

Mom

Crawling

I think we have a crawler on our hands!

A couple of Max Firsts!

Dear Amelia and Max -

Poor Max has had his first sickness. It all started on a Saturday night and you didn't get better until Thursday! Poor baby.

You still enjoyed giggling at your sister

During the 5 day flu, you also got your first tooth!!! You are back to Happy Max now, welcome back :)

Love,
Mom

Halloween 2012

Dear Amelia and Max -

The Sunday before Halloween, we headed out to the pumpkin patch and in typical Dirks' fashion...picked out 2 pumpkins in 3 minutes. We did take time to snap a quick pic.

 Which came first - Cinderella or the Chicken? Equally as cute!

 Amelia, you really enjoyed yourself this year and even wanted to go up to some doors by yourself!

Love,

Mom

Amelia is 4!

Dear Amelia -

On October 30th, 2008 at 840am, you were born into this wonderful world. Our lives have never been the same. You are a girly girl through and through. I adore you and so does everyone you meet. There is a never dull moment with you. You are my precious girl, I love you like crazy!

The weekend before your birthday, we headed to a water park and slept at a hotel! So much fun! 

On your actual birthday, you woke up with a smile on your face and were ready for your big day! You went to Cathy's like normal but celebrated with your friends. 

 After daycare/work, we met Glamma, Flossy and Aldo at Red Robin! You enjoyed some ice cream on the house!

 After dinner, we headed home to open some more presents!

You had a wonderful 4th birthday! Happy birthday pretty girl!

PS - You asked me this morning when you can start driving. Slow down there girl.

Love,

Mom
