Halloween!

We took a train ride from Snoqualmie to North Bend on Halloween morning. It was a fun ride with lots of families dressed in costumes. We had lunch in North Bend and caught the train back to Snoqualmie just in time for a nice nap. All aboard!
The conductor punched our tickets...
There was a clown on the train with some tricks...
Emi enjoyed looking out the window...


Later in the evening Emi's friend Collin joined us (along with his parents) for dinner and some trick or treating in our cul de sac. What a fun Halloween for all!

Setting the Table

Emi has been interested in helping me in the kitchen for a while. She also likes to help at Po Po and Gung Gung's house. When we are driving over for dinner or a visit she asks, "What's Gung Gung makin'?" Tonight Emi helped set the table, sprinkle seasoning on the salmon, wash the lettuce and tomatoes, tear the lettuce for our salad, scoop rice into the bowls, and fill the water glasses. It's nice to have a little helper!

Natalie and Justin's Wedding

Here are some wedding shots...I am working on the rest of our trip still...stay tuned!

Maui 2010

I have been working on updating the blog since our vacation...I realized that I should have asked Erich how to take the memory card out of the new camera before he went to work...here are just a few random shots from my camera...I'll update again with more!

We had a great time in Maui. Auntie Natalie and Uncle Justin had a fun and relaxed wedding, congratulations! After the wedding Emi, Erich and I enjoyed fun times on the beach with Emi, it was a great get away!

Auntie Natalie and Emi at the Park

Auntie Natalie came over and we walked over to the park. Emi loved swinging and hanging like a little monkey!

Toddler Talk

Emi and Nathan were having a nice little chat one Friday morning...Emi always asks about "Hannah woa woa" (she is Nathan's grandparents' dog) so when she asked about her today, I said, "ask Nathan," and so she did...

Pet Store

Emi asks to go to the pet store at least once a week if not more. She loves to look at all the animals and right now I think her favorite thing to ask for is to check if there are any dogs getting hair cuts. There weren't any today but she did get to watch a lot of dogs play in the doggie day care area.

Fridays with Nene

We missed Nene today but I found these pictures that I don't think I posted from 2 weeks ago. Emi and Nathan love to play basket ball with the little balls and they like to make funny faces for me too! We hope you feel better Nathan!

Emi's long hair!

I wanted to Emi to have a little trim before Auntie Natalie's wedding so I took these pictures to remember how long her hair is/was. We've never cut Emi's hair and I was finally ready to give her a trim, I was ready but Emi was not. She did not want to sit in the chair and she did not want to sit in my lap even after watching me get my hair cut...oh well, we'll try again another time :)
