We are excited to become a family of 4. Here are a few pictures of little Miss Lexi's room. It is the same room as Emmy's nursery, so many things have remained the same.

Baby Girl #2!
It's official! I will be induced on Friday, just three more days! We can finally say we are ready for her arrival. The nursery is complete, diapers have been purchased, swing and pack-n-play are set up, what else is there? Emmy continues to call her LaLa and keeps calling for her to come out. We have decided on an official name as well. Her name will be Alexis Kate Condra, and we plan to call her Lexi. She may go by LaLa too since Emmy has been calling her that for about 4 months!

Happy 2014!
Yes, it has been over a year since I have posted anything on this blog. No excuses, so I will just get started. Emmy is 2 1/2...how did that happen? It is almost annoying the amount of people that stop you to say, "Cherish every moment, they grow so fast, etc.." but it is so true! I find myself wanting to say that to others with newborns. I know they've heard it, so I refrain. Emmy is truly a joy and a blessing to our little family. She keeps us smiling, laughing, talking, and very busy. She is starting to use more and more sentences every day, and she amazes us with words that she has picked up. I still have to do some translating for her daddy, but he is learning her language more and more!
We just spent our third Christmas with her, and she might be starting to get the idea a bit more. We had a small family Christmas here before heading to Arkansas. Emmy got a tricycle, train track, broom set, and a doctor kit from Santa. Still awaiting warmer weather to get outside and enjoy her tricycle. We really enjoyed visiting Mountain Home and Little Rock for Christmas this year. Emmy was the center of attention, and she loved opening all of her presents. She received her third, yes third, Bitty Baby from Nana. She got a "puter" (computer) from Cici and Grandad, her first camera from Aunt Jessica, and a Doc McStuffin's doctor coat and kit from Aunt Casey. Needless to say, we shipped home a couple of boxes.
Back home, she is playing with all of her new Christmas toys all of the time. She LOVES playing babies. She puts her babies to sleep in all the rooms in the house, closes the door, and then tells us, "Shhh...my babies are sleeping". She also loves making "dinner" for us in her kitchen she got last year for Christmas. We have many dinner and tea parties every day. We watch her go in our kitchen and take things to put in her own kitchen. It is pretty funny! Hopefully she will be able to cook like her daddy some day.
We just started Emmy in a gymnastics class on Sunday mornings with her best little buddy Alyssa. She is really liking it, and she appears to be somewhat coordinated. Thank goodness she did not get her mommy's genes! She is learning a rollover, crabwalk, hanging on the bars, and just running around to get out the energy. She would much rather have help from Mrs. Lisa the instructor than either one of us while there.
Emmy moved in a big girl room over the summer. Her crib was getting too small for her. The transition was pretty easy. She loves her new room, and she has never gotten out of the bed on her own...amazing! Just wait until that happens for the first time, we will be in some trouble. We decided just to keep the nursery and wait until we have another one. Well, we will be preparing that room again soon, as we are expecting baby #2 in early August! Emmy is adorable talking about a sibling. We haven't exactly said that there is a baby in mommy's belly, but we have asked her if she wants a baby brother or sister. She always says she wants a baby sister. Then we talk about what could we name a baby brother or sister. She now asks us if we want a baby boy or girl. She knows her daddy wants a baby boy, and she also asks "What it's name be?" It is really cute to hear her talk about it. It probably won't be so cute once there is an actual baby living in her space, but for now we'll enjoy!
