The Karaffa's

birthday with oma

Oma was planning to be in Haiti for my birthday, so we got to celebrate a few days early. I went to her house for coffee break. After break, I got to open my gifts. Then, she took me out on a date...Chic-Fil-A & Target. I had such a wonderful time with my Oma!

Opening my gifts...

...& I was so excited!

Yay for Rescue Bots...

...& Playmobil Police Station!

I was so excited to get this...I enjoy playing with these toys!

Yay...the police jeep to go along with it!! So fun!

Oma, Emmerysn, & me.

(Then, Mommy took Emmersyn home, and Oma & I got to out on our fun date!)

water fun

We had a pretty warm day in January, so we really wanted to go out and shoot water guns. Mommy said it was ok, so out we went...loaded up our beach bucket with water and got our squirt guns ready. We had such a fun time...laughing a lot!

Loading our guns with our ammunition (water)!! :)

Boys will be boys...and we are pretty cute!

Ready...GO!

Me...Brady!

Trying to hit my target...the basketball rim!

Fun times!

basketball

I (Brady) have been wanting to play on a basketball team for a little while, so Daddy & Mommy found a great organization for me to be a part of...Upward Basketball. We have practice every Monday night from 6-7, and we have a game every Saturday morning in January & February at 9:00. Best parts...Daddy is my assistant coach & I get to play every game! We start each game with prayer, a devotion during halftime, and then end the game with prayer. It's a great organization, and I am having so much fun with it!

Praying before the game. Daddy is in the black shirt with his hand on my shoulder. So sweet!

Bringing the ball down the court...

...getting open...

...and playing defense...

...and bringing the ball down the court again. I even scored my first basket during the game. It was so exciting!

I had such a fun game. I am ready to be just like Michael Jordan, but Daddy says it's going to take lots of practice :)

Me & my assistant coach...my hero...my Daddy!

It's going to be a fun season!

8 months old

Emmersyn Faith is 8 months old. She loves to play, be around her siblings, be held by Mommy, & sticking out that cute tongue. She sleeps from 8:30-7:00 most nights, and she naps twice during the day. She wears size 3 diapers & size 6-12 or 12-18 month clothing. She is such a joy, and we are so thankful for her!

Clapping for turning 8 months old! :)

Checking out my 8 month sticker...

...& giving big smiles!

Happy 8 Months to Emmersyn!

This adorable cutie loves her bath time! She's not quite stable enough for the big tub, but she's too small for the infant tub, so Mommy found this smaller inflatable tub that is just right for her.
