Heidi Evelyn Von Fange is here!!!

Our baby Heidi arrived on 11/21/08 at 1:26 a.m. She weighed in at 6 lbs and 15 0z. She is 191/2 in long and beautiful. Erin did great. She was in labor for 5 1/2 hours and when Heidi decided to come she came fast. We feel very blessed to have her with us for our " Thanksgiving", we are thankful for her and her siblings. Emma Grace and Ian love her so much. They want to hold and kiss her all the time. They still refer to her as "Bump" which is what we called her while she was still in her mommy, since we didn't know she was a girl. God is good and all is well.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

New pictures of Emma and Ian

Our babies are growing up so fast. They love to go to grandma Joyce's and play her piano, they can sit at their own table and eat. They recently went to the beach , we found out Emma Grace loves the ocean, the sand and everything, but Ian does not. He hates to get his hands dirty and doesn't like cold water. I missed them like crazy, didn't know what to do with myself the week they were gone. We had a great time July 4th at the baseball game, we saw some awesome fireworks, Emma looked so cute in her hat, she had to wear it backwards like her Uncle Derek does. Ian loves to eat, as you can see, he is heavy!!! Emma Grace is in to dressing up now and sometimes she has to wear her pretty things out. She tells us her name is Princess, I think so, don't you. I hope you enjoy these new pics.

Frog fun in the sun and Tweetsie Railroad

Summer is here and it has been hot, so I got the babies a little frog pool to cool off in when at Nanny's house. Emma liked it, but Ian thought the well water a bit cold. Tim took the day off on June 19 and we took Emma and Ian to Tweetsie Railroad. It was a blessed day. The weather was perfect right at 70 degrees and the babies were exceptional. Not one time did they cry, fuss with each other or in any way act up, they really were perfect. This was one of those days you want to document because it was so good. I hope you like the pictures. Let me just say one more time " I love being a Nanny"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newest pictures of my house and new pictures of the babies.

We have been doing a few things to the house. Painted the kitchen door, got new furniture and a new swing. I love it out here, it is so quiet and nice and very me, country and homey. These are some pictures of the babies I took recently while they were visiting. Doesn't Emma Grace look elegant! Oh, and here is our cat, we just call her Kitty although her real name is Tobi :) We hope you enjoy looking at our world and sharing in the every day things of life. God is so good to us and we are very blessed indeed!

Mark has graduated from College!

Mark has just spent the last for years working hard, making good grades and finally graduating from Appalachian State University with honors. He did it in 4 yrs which is very impressive. We are so proud of him and all he has accomplished. Just wanted to share some of the pictures from that special day and also show off his beautiful girlfriend Heather. Hope you enjoy.

My Angel Babies are growing up.

Emma and Ian are growing up fast, and having so much fun exploring new things. They found out recently they will be getting a new brother/sister in Dec. Wow!, how exciting. Emma and Ian love playing outside, for the most part they play very well together, although Emma is in the 2yr. old "this is mine faze".

Spring is here!

It's hard to believe that Easter is tomorrow. Time sure goes fast these days. I hope everyone has a wonderful spring. I have added a few new pics of Nanny's angel babies to my blog. They are growing so fast. Emma has turned two and Ian is now one. They are such a joy. I love being Nanny. God Bless each of you.

New pictures/ sad news

The New year has started with a bang. Ian turned one year old. He had a wonderful party and got lots of gifts. He is a sweet boy. He is now walking, ( not great), but he is walking : ) Tim's mom got sick on the 18th of Jan. and passed away on the 29th. We will miss her so much. She was a sweet woman full of grace. She is in her heavenly home with her Dave now and free of pain and SHE CAN HEAR now. I hope you like the pictures, some are from Christmas and some from Ian's birthday, and just one or two random ones. Enjoy!

New Year

Well, it is a new year, and I didn't make any New Years resolutions, I have learned from the past that I cannot keep them, so I decided this year not to make any that way I cannot be disappointed. Smart don't you think. I did want to add some recent pictures of my boys and my grand babies.

I hope everyone has a blessed New Year.
