Emily's New Hairdo!

Emily had her hair cut and styled this week. The length of her hair over the shoulders was trimmed and her bangs cut. Emily looks very stylish and cute with her new hairdo and it makes her look so grownup! We really love Emily!

More Pictures from Andrew in Brazil

Andrew does not want you think he is a tree-hugger but he does like the out-of-doors and nature. This is one of the many beautiful sunsets in Brazil.

Here ia a panoramic view of a Brazilian sunset.

This was a large lizard and Andrew wanted to catch it but thought better of it. Good decision! There are many poisonous reptiles in Brazil.

Andrew appears to be contemplating life's big secrets (or what or we doing for lunch . . . just kidding)!

This is called banana pizza and it is good. It is a dessert similar to fruit pizza and I had it for breakfast on Sunday.

Congratulations, Carter!

Introducing...Baby Lightheart

Here is our first photo of Baby Lightheart. He measured a little small so they actually pushed my due date back by 10 days. Which is actually a blessing because it will give me more time to get settled in El Paso before he is born. I have never had an ultrasound this early so it was amazing to see how wiggly the baby was even at this early stage. (Kurtis just shook his head and said, "Here we go again." :)
We are so excited to bring this baby into our family. Thank you for all your support.


NEW DUE DATE: Sept. 9th

Valentine's Day at the Shaw's

Mom likes Dove chocolates.

Rory sent Mom an edible arrangement to her school. She was the envy of all the other teachers and office help at school!

These chocolate strawberries were very tasty!

Emily received a small stuffed animal along with her Valentine's Day loot.

Mom's door was decorated today.

Emily also had her door decorated this morning. We spend our Valentine's Day a little more laid back than most people. Mom and I will probably celebrate by eating a Papa Murphy's Valentine Pizza. We may even splurge with breadsticks! We wish all of you the best this Valentine's Day and wish you were here!
