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.


Snuggling with Daddy reading on Daddy's day.

Some (sort of) recent photos

Putting 'pretties' (hair elastics) on her cow.

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.


Playing with Mommy on her new bed.


Thank you Daddy!

Caught Again!

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

Aftermath of Emma, 23 months...


and video proof!


We are still working through the pile of tissue.

Happy Loo Loo!

Don't know where it came from but the sentiment is the same.




Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Canada Day!

We decided to go to the zoo this morning. It was a perfect morning for it, cool enough for the animals to be out and about.

Napping on the way to the zoo. Had to be fresh to meet the animals.


This elephant put on a good show.


Emma had a good view from the backpack on Daddy's back.
