New House

We have been in the new house for about a month now, and it is time to show some pictures...


Enter through the front of the house, and here you have the front entryway, the piano room, and dining room.





There is the little peanut in the kitchen...nam, nam nam.

Duck through the living room, and out the back...



And, there you have it.


Till next time,
A.L.E.

I'm walking on sunshine

Yes, here are some pictures of Emma, the walker. First she tried her land legs out on the grass in the backyard.






Later, she showed off her new skills inside the house.





She is so fast now, that I can only seem to get pictures of her back...

Stay tuned for some pictures of the new house.

Take care,

Alex, Lisa, and Emma

Emma Steps

Although we only have video documentation of the event, it has indeed happened. Emma has taken her first few steps. Hopefully we can capture the event in the next few days, but in any case...Yeah Emma!



See ya,

Moving time!

The clan has finally settled into their new home. Emma is having a blast exploring all the new and uncharted territory. She seems to have taken a liking to Daddy's new den...Do you think she is camera shy?






Little girl has also supposedly started walking on her own this week, according to Mommy. She has shown some interest in the idea of late, but this has yet to be documented. Stay tuned for some photos of the event in the days to come.

Also, she has taken a liking to the cupboards. Look at Emma at work, organizing them nicely...




We will have some pics of the new house, once things get a little more organized around here. We just need to let Emma loose for a couple hours to really get things "straightned out."

Till next time,

Lisa, Alex, and Emma

13 months

Our time in Philly has nearly come to an end. Emma is now 13 months, and cruising like a champ.

We are all getting a little antsy for the move back home.




Next time, we will post some pictures of the new "pad."

Till then,

Emma, Lisa, and Alex

Emma's First Birthday

Today is the big day. Emma recieved many new toys, and displayed her usual enthusiasm in playing with them all.



But, nothing quite compared to the reponse evoked by the BALLOONS.





If you think this looks like fun, just wait until you see her attack the birthday cake.





And finally, pizza for dessert.



All in all, it was a great day. Happy Birthday, Emma.

Emma went to the Zoo!

On the Saturday before Mother's day, Emma took her first trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. It was a gorgeous day, and she heard that some of her friends from music class were going so she just had be there. I think that every family with a child under the age of 3 had the same idea.






The day was short, but we saw a few interesting large cats and some other animals from afar. The thing that was most exciting to Emma was the petting zoo, and when we tried to take her out of that area she was less than excited. Day over!!
