It's been a while...

Life has just been flying by since August. It started with a trip to G.P. for a wedding, then a bunch of stuff (is it a bad sign if I know we were busy but I can't remember at what?) ending with us purchasing a sailboat (finally!).

So, to catch up, in no particular order...

Visit to Uncle Joe

We went to visit Uncle Joe at his new place. He took us for a fast boat ride on the lake.Emma loved the wind in her hair.









We also had an amazing dinner at his restaurant. He had the pastry chef make Emma a special dessert... three cake bunnies!

I had to be quick to get the photos. The chocolate ears came off first.




In the end, the bunnies won!

Our visit to G.P.

Emma had a great time visiting the family, going to Uncle Earl and Aunt Amy's wedding and having (one of) her birthday party.

Summer Time

The peonies didn't last long but they were beautiful while they were here.


Emma playing with her water bucket. Note the sun suit AND bathing suit. I have much to learn about 2-year old fashion. I was only going to put the sun suit on her.

Big Girl Bed

Earlier this spring Emma made a smooth transition to her big girl bed that Daddy made her. Mommy is still getting around to making the curtains for it. (Have to have something for future posts!).

New bed meets with Smudge's approval.

Thank you Daddy!

Addendum to this recent post about her tissue habit...

Aftermath of Emma, 23 months...

We are still working through the pile of tissue.
