Airplane!

Mommy and daddy often play airplane with Emma's food to get her to eat. Obviously, we are inept at it, as she now plays it with herself:

Halloween Fun

We took Emma out to a local farm that has great kids activities. Here is Emma posing with a moose and Christmas tree:

Here she is picking the perfect pumpkin (turns out she isn't so fussy):

On the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch with our friend Kenny:

In the kids maze with daddy:

Enjoying an afternoon snack (Emma was really excited for that caramel):

She could mostly do without the apple:

Watching the ever hilarious pig races (at the appropriately named track, Pork Chop Downs):

And the even funnier turkey races:

And enjoying the horses, first to pet from the safety of daddy's arms:

And then being a big, brave girl and sitting on one (as long as it didn't move):

First Baby Pictures

Melissa had her first ultrasound to determine due date. All is looking great with the new baby, who is not as far along as originally believed. Baby O'Shea is due on June 6th, so we are about 7 weeks along!

Emma's news

Look carefully...

Mickey & Minnie

Emma got some new "friends" while staying at Mimi's house. Here she is posing with her gigantic Mickey & Minnie.

And reading to them.

Emma loves spending time with them, even if they are twice her size. Thanks Mimi & Papa.

Grandma & Grandpa visit

Grandma, Grandpa and Granny came to visit last weekend. Emma had so much fun with them at the MSU Children's Garden.

Reading with the statue boy:

Rubbing Buddha belly:

Riding the sheep:

Playing lookout:

And helping Grandma getting great pictures:

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:

And here she is pulling the apple down:

Here she is carrying her bounty:

Looking confused as to what to do now that the apple is off the tree:

And finally taste testing:


Thanks for a great time Mimi and Papa!
