Back to Hawaii

Emma decided to take an opportunity to head back to Hawaii when she heard nana and papa were heading over.  Better yet Aunt Lauren and Uncle Max made the trip.  Not surprisingly, it was a great trip.  Emma was much better at the beach and really enjoyed playing in the sand this time.  The best […]

Two Years Old!

Emma has hit another milestone.  She’s a big girl of two!  We had a nice small gathering at our house with family and a few friends.  It was Dora themed which, of course, was a hit with Emma.  Emma had Dora balloons, cake, and a accessories.  As you can see..the cake was chocolate.  I Like […]

Wonderful Holidays

“Wonderful” isn’t just one of Emma’s new, favorite words, it also describes our holidays.  Despite sloshing through a foot of snow before, during, and just after Christmas, we managed to get to all our holiday events as well as enjoy ourselves.  We are blessed as always with incredible family with whom we got to spend […]

The Holidays Are Coming

The holidays came a bit early as Emma received, from Great Uncle Carl Schultz, a cradle for her baby dolls.  That fact was missed by Emma as she decided it was a better napping place for herself (OK, not really but she does think getting in it is funny).   We also got our tree last […]

Getting to be a Big Girl

Emma is really getting to be quite a big girl.  She has been helping dad pick (but mostly eat) raspberries all summer; she has been working on her tennis game with her Barbie racquet (although it typically stays on the ground while the ball gets bounced off of it, and you can see how big […]

New Things All Summer

Wow! It’s been a long time since I dropped in an Emma post. Very sorry. We’ve talked about how we have so many pictures to get out here but one thing leads to another and we kept putting it off. Well, here we go… Emma’s been really growing. She’s learning so much and doing so […]

Yeah, Hawaii !!!!!

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve gotten a post up. No excuse with Emma walking so much and so well now. We have some good pictures of her moving along. Anyway, we really couldn’t hold off any longer after our trip to Hawaii. It started a bit slow with two days of the stomach […]

Emma and Her Easter Eggs

Emma sure likes her Easter eggs. Good thing too. She got Easter baskets from mom & dad, grandma & grandpa, and gramps & nanna. She also got to take part in her first Easter Egg hunt. Check it out… Check Out the Eggs        Who’s Takin My Picture?           

Finally One!

Emma has finally turned one! OK, we are a month late with the post but our excuse is that it has been a busy month. Emma had a very nice birthday party with family and close friends over at nanna’s. She got the usual piece of cake…actually a cupcake; however, she was very reserved and […]

Phoenix and Swimming

Emma’s been traveling around the country again…she went down to Phoenix to see G.G. Barb and Bob as well as her best bud, Cousin Lauren, and her namesake Cousin Cathy. They had a great time but unfortunately the last two nights Emma had a fever and did sleep well. Fortunately she got better just in […]
