Sorry Blog

I am sorry I have neglected you, Blog site, but Facebook is so much easier!

October

Emmy was a tulip fairy for Halloween.

She especially liked the "baby" pumpkins!

These little pumpkins are so much fun!
Super focused little artist.
Memaw, why is the paintbrush in your mouth?

Wednesday Activity

Guess what Emmy and Daddy did for their "Wednesday" activity.

FISH!

Emmy Lu

Have I told ya'll lately how GREAT Miss Emmy Lu is?  It is amazing, her daily report cards come back home with the words "great, wonderful, fantastic!"  I know I could exaggerate, but I'm not.  The teachers tell us what a great listener she is, they are impressed with her coloring (circle like shapes & coloring IN the lines), and she is making friends (specifically Rebecca and Leigha).  At home, she is so content and such a joy.  She eats most of our food (although, she loves pasta - we drove up to Johnny Carinos the other night and she said "Yumm" and patted her belly), barely watches TV, loves her books, colors and besst of all the dogs are her best friends.  We couldn't ask for a better 1 1/2 year old!!

Emmy's reading her Halloween book from Memaw almost every night.  She calls the witch "Momma" (taught to her by Daddy) and calls the Vampire "Daddy" (she came up with that on her own)!

Surprising enough, the girl likes to clean.  Notice the pledge bottle? If I am cleaning, she doesn't get the chemicals (Pledge), but I happily hand her a rag or paper towel.  Right now - easy entertainment, Future - chores!!
Emmy went to her first hockey game last weekend in Cedar Park.  The minor league below the Dallas Stars, named the Texas Stars, played their exhibition game.  We went with my friend Jeff and his family and had a good time with Melissa and Eli.  It was extra exciting, because this arena was James' first project as a PM!

Emmy is having fun in her doggy rain coat!  I bought it thinking she may never wear it - wrong!  We got 4 inches of rain on Saturday!

Like father like daughter.  Emmy playing with James' radio.

Emmy LOVES her dogs!
One of Emmy's fun games.  Horsey!
Emmy wearing her cute little Halloween outfit.  Once again, an outfit I was worried she wouldn't be able to wear much because of the sleeves and pants.  Nope, we've been cool enough on certain days!
Before the cool front, sporting the sun glasses.  Emmy loves to play with our sunglasses.

I like this picture of Disney, even if James' foot is in the way!

Happy Birthday Papa

It took me a while to go through the Chicago pictures.  We went up there for Papa's 80th Birthday Party. It was great to stay at GiGi and Papa's and to see everyone!

So happy to talk to Daddy (he didn't get to go to the party)

I love you, cousin Nathan.
Momma, GiGi made me roll up pancakes!
Momma's cute shot of cousin Torie.

Labor Day

We enjoyed our Labor Day weekend in Fort Lauderdale Florida.  We had a nice time and needed the little get-away.   Auntie Courtney and Uncle Clay met Papa and us in Florida.  On our way back we were able to see Boppa, Memaw, Auntie Becky and Uncle Matt, and Auntie Jammie and "Carcar" at Baskin Robbins (a long [but short] layover). 

What a family weekend!

Emmy is into "If your happy and you know it..."  This is the part "and your face will surely show it" and she twists her fingers by her cheek.  ADORABLE!

Momma and Emmy being silly.
Cheese!  Enjoying a long thunderstorm under the tiki hut.
Playing with my hat.
What nap?!?!?!

But Mom, I don't want to look like a bug with two antlers.
I LOVE to read my dog book on the plane.  The dogs make me so happy.

Daddy and Emmy in agua.
I like to play in the sand, but I don't like my toes in the sand.
