Today I stalked Emerson with the camera to capture her latest and greatest! It’s been a while since I’ve shared any milestone updates, so today I made a point to follow Emerson around with my camera to show you what she’s been up to… She’s been very interested in arranging, stacking, re-arranging and grouping objects lately. With a little help from Grandpa, this is the makings of a foam shapes tower — I imagine someday all 84 pieces will be stacked! After breakfast we said goodbye to Grandpa Gene and his beard until the next visit. I’m sure he was ready to get home and relax after all the playing...
Birthday Flashback
Happy 1/2 Birthday, Big E! In honor of Emerson’s half-birthday coming up in a few days, I decided to finally gather up the 1 year birthday party photos! I was so wrapped up in everything going smoothly that day, I barely took any pics myself (lucky for me that’s what grandmas are for)! It’s fun to look back and really see how quickly they grow up! I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months! Thanks to everyone who made this such a fun day! ...
February Fun (Finally)
After canceling our plans several times, Emerson and I finally made it to Spirit Lake last weekend! We had a lot of fun with Grammy and Grandpa; in fact, they kept us pretty busy with sledding, shopping and nail painting! I never in a million years would have been brave enough to paint this wild girl’s nails, but her Gram sure had the magic touch. Grandpa must have been working his magic too because Emerson could have spent the whole day outside riding around the yard on the toboggan (even Bela had a spark of interest in this activity)!...
Super Bowl Swagger
The Super Bowl: whether it’s the binge snacking, half-time show, cutting-edge commercials or suspense of the game… it makes an NFL fan out of me once every year. Emerson loved the snacks and was especially enthused about the half-time show. She ‘Vogued’ with Madonna and was pleasantly surprised by the LMFAO guest performance (her favorite). She looked pretty tired during the first half of the game, but party rocking brought on a second wind which lasted until 11 pm… Someone should consider Super Bowl Saturday instead of Sunday so that sleeping-in the following day is a possibility....
iPlay in the Snow
Finally enough snow on the ground to bust out the snow pants; a vision in pink!...
