Emi and Avery!

We love visiting little Avery and Auntie Maureen! Emi LOVES Avery and was very gentle and sweet with her. At one point while Avery was in her swing Emi brought Avery toys and books to keep her entertained while Auntie Maureen and I ate a quick lunch. Can't wait to watch the girls grow up together!

Uncle Justin's 16th Birthday!

We celebrated Justin's 16th birthday at Yea's Wok. We had a great meal and yummy cake! Happy Birthday Uncle Justin!

Emi was waving to Uncle Justin from across the way...


Make a wish!

Zoo!

Daddy took Emi to the zoo on Sunday while Mommy went out with her sisters. It was a great day for the zoo, it looks like they saw a lot of animals and had a fun time! Emi has a book called Zoo Train! from Kindermusik and she loves the book even more after this recent trip to the zoo!

Lucky Penny!

Emi found a lucky penny in the wood chips at the park this evening. She was very worried that it would not stay in her pocket so she kept checking and switching the penny from pocket to pocket.

Sabrina's 3rd Birthday Party

Emi had so much fun at Sabrina's 3rd birthday party! I didn't get a chance to take a picture of Emi and Sabrina together but Sabrina had a great party for all her friends and family! Thanks for a fun party Uncle Mike, Auntie Joyce, Sabrina and Michaela!

Alligator and Skirt Steak

We had our friend George over to grill some yummy food this weekend. He brought alligator, skirt steak (which you see here), shrimp and scallops (which you don't see because we ate then up as soon as they came off the grill!) and some other goodies! It was the perfect day to sit outside and enjoy time with an old friend. Emi napped almost the whole time, but she did wake up in time to try some alligator, it tasted like chicken but a little tougher. Thanks George!

Sprinkler

Last weekend Erich did some yard work and turned the sprinklers on for the first time this season. Emi noticed the water spraying out and decided to get closer to check it out! She thought they were pretty funny and liked getting a little wet.

Watermelon

Emi loves fruit! Here she is cheezin' with her watermelon tonight.

Playdate with the Meatballs!

Auntie Jaime, Luca, and Brando came over to play! They read books, played with trains, bunnies, and checked out the frogs, it was a fun morning!

Bubbles!

One day last week when it was sunny and warm, Emi and I decided to go outside and blow bubbles. She had fun trying to pop the bubbles and stomp on the bubbles that landed in the grass. Sun please come back so we can blow bubbles outside again!
