The new year is off and running and so is Emma. She's officially a crawling machine and is quite precocious...oh and how could I forget to mention that with crawling came standing. So watch out because if there is something for her to grab on to she'll be pulling herself up- and dancing if you put on music. The past month has been so rewarding as we've watched her develop such a personality.
See I told ya I'd get caught up. The Behrend family had a wonderful first Christmas with three days of festivities. We spent Christmas Eve eve with our favorite Aunt Jill, Uncle James, Bailey, and Brock. We had a yummy dinner prepared by Uncle Ben and exchanged gifts. We then spent Christmas Eve with the Farney Family all fifteen of them. On Christmas we invited Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Chris, Uncle Stephen, Great Grandma, and Great Grandpa Finnerty over for breakfast and presents. Afterwords we cleaned up and went to visit the rest of the Finnerty family twenty-four in all for more gifts, dinner, and games. We wish that we could have seen more of the Behrend's, but they were close at heart.

Peek a boo
Who is this guy?
Bailey...I'm not sure about this guy but Brock likes him.
Great Grandma you're silly.
ND may have had a heartbreaking year but Emma and Daddy are all set for a phenomenal 2008 season. In preparation Daddy and Mommy felt it only appropriate to send good ju ju from Scottsdale to South Bend by dressing up our "good luck" girl.
Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll get caught up if it's the last thing I do :)
Thanksgiving was fun. We spent it at Grandma and Grandpa's house along with all of the Farney's and Finnerty's that could make it...17 in all. Emma enjoyed being taunted by her Great Grandma Farney with a Turkey leg and hanging out with the family.

Emma's 1st Halloween was a whirlwind day at Daddy's work. We said hi to lots of new people and familar friends. Afterwards we stopped my Grandma Farney's to say hi before heading home to see all the trick or treaters.
While the boys are away the girls will play. Daddy and Uncle James went on a hunting trip with Jason, so Mommy decided that was a great weekend for a sleep over. Aunt Ellen and Aunt Lynda happliy abliged and flew in from California to participate. We also went to look at dress, had lunch, and played with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.
