We love you, sweet girl!

Date night...

Last night, Viktor and I went on our first date since Emily was born. We left her in the care of our wonderful friends, the Bevils, and ventured out to church. No, this isn't a typical "date" as most of you are probably thinking, but we had a great time. We participated in an event sponsored by our church in partnership with Feed My Starving Children. There were about 700 other people there to help (we were one of many shifts this week) package food for starving children around the world. In about 1.5 hours time, our group managed to package enough meals to feed 461 children every day for an entire year. That is a A LOT of food! It was basically an assembly line-- one person opened the bag and put it in the funnel, then another person gave a scoop of chicken flavoring/vitamins, another gave a scoop of dehydrated vegetables, another gave a scoop of soy, and another gave a scoop of rice. Once the bag was complete it was weighed, sealed, and packaged to be shipped. It was such an amazing experience and we would highly recommend it to any of you looking for a creative date night idea. Of course, you have to find a local site to participate. Check them out and see if they'll be in your area!

A whole lot of pink...

As mentioned in my previous blog post, Emily and I went to Nashville, TN a few weeks ago to participate in the Race for the Cure. It was pretty amazing to see how many people were there supporting the cause. It meant a lot that I could participate in something that will support breast cancer awareness and research, and Emily and I were proud to walk in honor of some of our dear friends who have battled with breast cancer over the years. Emily was a trooper and enjoyed her first 5k...Missy thinks she needs to participate in more 5k's in the future...we'll see about that one! Enjoy the pics from our pink weekend!

Here we are before the race...it was pretty chilly, but the rain held off! Oh, and I didn't plan for Emily to be wearing pink, but she sure did fit in with the rest of the crowd!

If you look closely you will see some pink wigs...this, among other costumes (including men in pink tu-tu's) kept us pretty entertained throughout the day.

The crowded streets....

Emily slept almost the entire time...she was such a trooper!

Missy and Aunt Ann...aren't they cute?!?! Her aunt was so sweet and hospitable all weekend. We had so much fun!

At the end, all the breast cancer survivors were ushered under the pink balloons, while the rest of us went off to the side and cheered them on.

Obviously, Missy knows how to hold a face when distracted...not so much for Emily and me. This picture is a result of two ladies trying to get Emily to smile, but really they just looked ridiculous...I couldn't handle it and Emily didn't quite know what to think.

This was Emily's first hayride at Gentry Farm...she was all tuckered out from the race earlier in the day and could care less about the other fall festivities. :)

This and that...

The past few weeks have been pretty busy around the Rozsa household. We took a trip to Bloomington over the first weekend of October to celebrate Mimi's (Kristen's mom) birthday and to attend a wedding of our good friend, Zach and his wife, Ann. The following weekend, Kristen and Emily went to Nashville, TN to participate in the Race for the Cure. We went with our friend, Missy, while Viktor stayed back with Missy's husband and cleaned our carpets (of course they had a fun "guys" weekend, too). All of our pictures are on Missy's camera...so we'll have to save them for another time. Emily is a good little traveler and she enjoyed her first 5k (slept almost the whole time!). We also enjoyed a visit from our good friend, Ron Adkins, this past week. Ron married us and he and his wife have been such a blessing in our life. It was a refreshing time together! This weekend marked my (Kristen) final days of work at Asbury Seminary. After returning to work post-baby, we made the difficult decision for me to resign from my job at ATS and stay home full-time to care for Emily (and Viktor). We are excited for all this means for our family and look forward to this new season of life together.

Emily is growing so much and we just can't get over how fast it is going. She is such a joy and we cannot imagine life without her. She is a very content baby, observing and taking in everything going on around her--she never misses a beat! She is fascinated with her hands and has learned to reach up and hit the toys in her little floor gym. She has rolled over a few times from belly to back and she is gaining a lot of neck strength and head control. She actually tries to lift herself up when she is lying on her back by lifting her head off the ground. If we slowly pull her up by her hands she will hold her head and enjoys "sitting" in this position. She is sleeping through the night from about 7:30pm-5am and then after eating she sleeps again until about 9am. We are so proud of our sweet girl and love watching her grow and discover new things. We are so thankful to God for giving us such an amazing blessing!

Well, that is the latest. I know you really just want to see photos...so here you go!

"Go IU!"
