Emma's 2 month old pictures

This is how Emma sleeps during tummy time! What a cutie
I took all these pictures on Emma's 2-month birthday...I can't believe how quickly the time passes. As I looked through her newborn pictures, I can't believe how much she has changed already. A few days ago, we packed up some of her clothes that don't fit anymore. I hope you enjoy the pics..you can really see her 'ginger' hair as they call it here...



More Emma in March....

Here is a view of our new apartment...It is so nice and we are so excited about having more than one room! We actually have 6 rooms and a massive hallway...It has been so nice to be able to have a nursery for Emma...to be able to let her cry a bit at night. Before when we were in one room I had to try so hard to keep her quiet so Peter could sleep because he had to work. It has been so good to have the space. I will post more pics later...
Emma, in late February....

Pictures from the middle of Feb...of Emma of course!

Some more of Emma...these are all from the middle of February, before we moved to our new flat. I had meant to get these posted ages ago, but things have been so busy getting settled in....love to you all...

Family Pictures

Here are Emma's first pictures with her grandparents. It was so great that they could all be here at once. It was busy, and I think I only saw Emma at night when I was feeding her! Even then Karen, Peter's sister, stayed with us on the last night and held Emma when I was done feeding her...I think Emma will miss very much having so many family members around.

fun pictures

Here are some fun pictures that Peter took. She is so cute to watch as she wakes up. She makes the best faces, and grunts and groans so loud!

More pictures of Emma

So one of the coolest gifts we have received is from my friend Michelle who I met in Amsterdam. She sent (from America) us a box of M & M's which you can see above...They are so cool. When I opened the package I thought, "neat, Michelle sent us pink M&M's." Then I realized they actually have Emma's name on them! Amazing...
Here is Emma on her first walk...which was about 2 1/2 weeks ago! I had meant to post these earlier, but our computer has been acting up a bit!! We really bundled her up because it was so cold...She slept through the entire ordeal!

Here she is again...we have offered her a pacifier when she gets a bit fussy, but she hates them! She closes her mouth so tight and won't even let you try to put it in!!! she is so funny!!

Emma Adriaantje Brokaar

Well, here are some more pictures of Emma from the hospital time. She is so sweet and already changing...I hope that means she might figure out the sleep is for night! Actually she is very good, and does sleep for longs stretches at a time...we are glad for those moments to sleep as well. The above pictures is her on the final day in the hospital, Daddy Peter bought her first pink item, her friend the bunny...it is very very sweet to see Peter so excited for his daughter.
Our first family photo! This was taken on Januray 3rd...the evening Emma was born.


This is the best picture to see her hair, which already seems to be a bit changes. At the hospital, it looked strawberry blondish, but now it is looking more and more just blonde. We shall see!
I hope to add more pictures soon, but as some might guess, we are a bit busy here at the moment. We did have our first ride in our stroller yesterday, and Emma already lost her umbilical cord, which is nice not to have to worry about that! Thank you to every one for your e-mails and encouragement...we think she is pretty special and look forward to showing her to you all soon.
Luv to you from Peter, Liz, and Emma

My Baby Shower

What an amazing group of people! The Blairmore Team has gone out of its way to encourage and support both Peter and I during this pregnancy. Erica and Lindsey organized a surprise Baby Shower for me last week. It was amazing to see people from work together with a few ladies from our Bible Study get together and give an America Baby Shower. They do not throw them in the UK, so they had to get the details from my mom...it was such a special night.
This is a beautiful blanket that my sister's mother-in-law made for us...Ellie Kinne...It is the sweetest thing!
You can see I was very blessed...even got a Dopey Doll...

So cute, we got these little Tartan booties!!! so funny!

Alysa sent a package which contained EVERYTHING we would need in a diaper bag plus the the most amazing bag as well...I have it packed a ready to go...


In all, this was such a fun evening...I love surprises. I felt so blessed to have all these ladies there for me...God is so good.

Our Christmas Celebration

On Friday, the team here at Blairmore went out for a Christmas lunch before people started to leave for the holidays. It was a fun time of eating, exchanging gifts, and sitting in front of the fire. It was a long day for me as I am getting bigger and bigger, but it was so nice just to relax with the team and not have to do any work!
Here is a good view on my belly. I am 38 weeks today, so even my maternity clothes seem to fit tight now. It is strange to see pictures of myself because I don't feel that big, but I can see a major difference between these pictures and even a few weeks ago...
Peter...what a funny guy...hard to get him to smile nicely! This is our friend Pablo, in his kilt! He was born in Argentina, and lived in a America for 10 years. It was actually very cold this day, but I am now ALWAYS warm...and none of my shoes fit, so I have to wear flip flops!!! not so nice eh? Below are three of the girls who work here, Erica, Jess and Jenny...Nice to show you who we work with!!!
