Thanks for visiting. It was great!

Apple picking

Emma went apple picking for the first time with mommy, Mimi and Papa and had a great time. Papa helped her get into the trees:

Thanks for a great time Mimi and Papa!

New talents

Emma has discovered a new talent (we aren't sure what she is going to do with it yet). She definitely gets this from mommy and Aunt Stephanie.

Emma guitar

Emma is now considering a career as a rocker, specifically guitarist in a rock band:

Hop on Papa

Emma has discovered that papa makes a much better trampoline than her "jumpoline":

Emma has become obsessed with cleanliness lately. Here she is washing her hands with daddy (she washes her hands every time she gets near a sink):

Helping daddy clean the counters after dinner:

And finally helping daddy wash dishes:

This bodes well for us when she has to start doing chores!

Driving

We aren't sure where Emma got her license, but she sure is a menace on the road, or at least in Lowes:

Cupcake War

Emma has declared war on her cupcake, or at least the frosting; we leave it to you to decide who won:

Emma discovered that she is vertically challenged when she tried to get her balloon down. Of course, she also hasn't learned not to let go of it once she has it (or she likes her new game, take your pick):
