Computer Glitches, Tailgating, Bounce House & Potties







So, I learned my lesson. I was having a lot of trouble with the Internet connection our computer. After some trouble-shooting, we realized it was the Weather Bug I had uploaded. It was taking up too much space. I am very glad to have it resolved to get back to my blog and pictures. Here are recent photos of the excitement from our house. We have been cheering on our favorite football teams every weekend, win or lose. Thankfully the Colts have balanced out the Hoosiers. Either way, Emma still cheers for everyone. No matter who is playing she shouts, "Go Colts! Go I.U.! Go Ben (Ben Chappell, I.U.'s quarterback)." After going to the Bucket Game this past weekend she will now tell you, "I like the marching band" and requests the Marching Hundred C.D. I am not sure I know many two year olds that like this type of music over nursery rhymes.
We also inherited a fabulous bounce house from one of our generous neighbors. This thing is awesome. Emma bounced in it until it got dark. I love this picture of Emma with our neighbors. They girls are always so patient with Emma. The bounce house is the hot item on the block. We may have to start charging admission. Emma wants it out every day. We have told her it is sleeping right now.
One other exciting addition in our house is the mini potty. Emma was moved up a room at school and they do a lot of talking about using the potty. She was obsessed with it for about a week. We figured we should go ahead and get the potty to keep up the interest. We will see. Right now the only people using it are her dolls.
We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. We have many things to be thankful for this year, including the newest member born this morning, Preslee Tauer. Congrats to my cousin, Ginny and her husband Andy. Can't wait to meet Miss Preslee!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Funny Girl




It doesn't take much to entertain Emma. As you can see, she had way too much fun hiding in this storage container. She also decided to read to Lamont. She thought he should play an instrument, too. Doesn't he look thrilled?

Happy Halloween!











I am not sure what Emma will do now without her "Geen Dragon" costume. She has talked non-stop about going "Trick-or-Beating" and wanted to go again this morning. She did get good use out of the costume and wore it to her school's fall festival, to ZooBoo, to her school party and trick-or-treating. At least we can leave out the "Funkin" through Thanksgiving.
