Can you see that we’re a house divided? What I thought was going to be a lazy and relaxing Saturday quickly turned into an action-packed road trip! Grandpa Gene visited and we loaded up and went to Iowa City to visit my sisters. The day was well-documented so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves....
A Whole Year!
Happy Birthday to my little honey bee! She’s by far the sweetest thing in my life. From tiny… to tot! ...
Birthday Fun: Part 3
The big finale of the birthday was presents and cake, of course! Emme has come a long way in figuring out how to get those gifts open! We put in some time at ‘paper-tearing’ camp this summer and all of those ripped-up magazines were worth it! I plan on spending more time practicing cake decorating because even after making the 3rd cake of the birthday season, the vision didn’t quite come through. I blame all of those cake-baking reality shows that make it look so easy! Even though it looked amateur, Emerson was thrilled to get cake, frosting, strawberries and blueberries all in one shot!...
Birthday Fun: Part 2
I can’t imagine a more perfect 1st birthday! Emerson worked up a big appetite today playing with her new toy car and walking! For the first time she took four well-balanced consecutive steps! I especially love that she waited for her 1st birthday to surprise me! Here we are playing and enjoying our afternoon together....
Birthday Fun: Part 1
Lunch with our favorite girls! Emerson had a blast spending the afternoon with her bestie, Abigail, today! Unfortunately, for this to happen Michelle and I were forced to get some lunch, sit through a pedicure and stroll around town with our mini-shoppers… small price to pay!...
