Auntie Natalie comes to visit!

Auntie Natalie had a day off today so she stopped by to play with Emi! She came at a perfect time, Emi just woke up from her nap and was ready to show Natalie how she glides around in the door way jumper.

Natalie was making Emi laugh on her rainforest mat.

Auntie Emily and Uncle Mark Visit!

Before we had out friends Mark and Emily over this evening we celebrated Auntie Jeanie and Christine's b-days! I didn't take any pictures at brunch today...I think I was still trying to wake up from not getting a good nights sleep :( Emi has been a little off lately!

We had a wonderful time as usual with the Emiley's!
Emi had to show off how she gallops on her horse.


After lettuce wraps and curry we enjoyed a very delicious dessert made by Emily! It was SO good!!! They turned out perfectly just like on the cover of the magazine!

Sittin' Pretty

Emi's got such a sweet smile!

Play time!

We're enjoying afternoons at Auntie Jaime's, Emi likes playing with Luca, Brando, and Saddie. Luca was especially interested in holding Emi today, he tried a few times to pick her up and finally got to hold her with some help. Thanks for having us over!

Carrie's Craft Space!

I feel very lucky to have a space to be creative! Here is what it looked like right before Emi was born! I liked the space but it wasn't very functional for me...


So we moved it out of the closet and onto the wall! I love it -well we are going to put up a shelf next to the punch rails, then it will be complete! I can't wait :)

Our little swimmer!

Emi had her first swim lesson today. It was so cute to see her in the pool, she seemed to enjoy it!

New Play Mat!

A big thank you to Emi's Aunties Brenda, Helena, and Cecilia for this wonderful rainforest gym! Emi loves the songs and flashing lights! I think her favorite animal is the monkey that hangs from it's tail.

Tree lighting!

This is our second year going to the Kirkland Christmas Tree lighting with the Mallamo's! Last year Luca was the only baby and this year we've each added one more! It was Brando and Emi's first tree lighting experience! Will there be more next year?

All bundled up! Emi is ready to see Santa and his reindeer!
This year

Last year

Eric and Scott joined us from San Diego! It was so great to catch up with Eric and meet Scott too.

Finally getting to updating the blog!

Sorry for those who have been checking the blog daily! Erich was able to take sometime off before and after Thanksgiving...which would make you think that I would have lots of time to update the blog each day, worng! Instead we've just been spending lots of time together with Emi :)

Hope everyone enjoyed a very happy Thanksgiving!
