Bubbles!

Emma, and all other kids I know love bubbles. "More bubbles" is a phrase heard multiple times a day at our house. We need to start buying the gallon containers of them the way we have been going through our bubbles....

Mother's Day Brunch

Spring is here!

I can't believe that we haven't posted anything since march. Is that possible? I think I tried to publish some zoo pics at some point but they kept appearing upside down. I will have to get back to those at some point, as we go to the zoo at least once a week so it should be documented! Everything is great with us. We are having a blast being outside a ton, going for walks (I can get Emma into her stroller in about 3 seconds if I give her a "yi-pop"), going to the zoo, gardening, etc! Alex is incredibly busy after not working for three months, but that was expected and it was great having him around so much for so long.

The Pianist

Emma spent about an hour at the piano today. She always loves it in little doses, but today she really got serious about it! I don't want to get too ambitious, but I like what I am seeing so far. The singing that was going along with the playing could use a little work, however!!!

Emma loves Fifi

Emma just loves her cats. Hannah is too quick for her to pose with, but Fife (fifi, to her)is a little larger and slower, so he gets lots of the love. Notice how please he looks. I can't say that I blame the guy, as several minutes after this picture was taken she was "showing" (trying to hit him with) a toy truck, which was quickly taken away from her. Someday I'm sure she will learn to show her love a little more gently. For now he might need to get a little quicker on his feet!

Sunday Brunch

Today we took Emma to sunday brunch. She has been a bit under the weather, but was a trooper. She really seemed to enjoy the blueberry pancakes! Daddy had a bit too much of the omelet bar...

Super Bowl Sunday

We had a little gathering for Super Bowl Sunday. A few neighborhood friends/kids came over. Emma was holding court, as usual. All in all, we enjoyed a great game, and the kids enjoyed their Robin Hood video...
