She Just Won't Do It!

Emma is so close to crawling, but she just won't move forward. I have been working with her every day. I thought the bribe of the toys might work. I keep moving them farther away in the hopes she might go for it (Just like I used to back away from my swimmers when I taught lessons). I really want her to crawl before I got back to school next week. I have strict orders that no one can tell me any of the cute things she does while I am gone. That way they never happened, right?

Happy Birthday, Cousin Hannah!

Hannah Kay is three years old today! We can't believe she has grown up this fast. Hannah is such a big girl now. She is going to be a big sister this fall. She is very proud of that. Hannah loves to play with her dolls, especially her friend, Hoppy. Happy Birthday, Hannah. We miss you!!

Kickin' It Old School

Emma cashed in on an old toy from my school this week. One of our teachers retired this year after 46 years of teaching and there were many things for the taking after cleaning out her room. Miss Kimes was like Mary Poppins and all her students adored her. The staff adored her, too. Emma loves sitting in this little wagon. I am thinking she can push her dolls in it some day. The wagon is a treasure!

Pinwheel Memories

I found this video on You Tube and it brought back a flood of memories. I used to watch this show at my grandma and grandpa's. They were the first people I knew who had cable and I thought it was magical.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Happy Birthday, Papa! We love you very much. Hope you have a fantastic birthday!!

Sitting Pretty

We finally got out Emma's high chair from storage. She loves it! Every time she sits in it, she squeals and babbles with delight. Emma's favorite part is when Daddy scoots her around the room. I love it that her little feet barely stick out right now. She looks so tiny in it!

Worn Out!

I know we have all been this tired at some point. Playing is just so hard!
