Ready for School!

"Here I am in my new dress, new tights and new big girl shoes! Now I wish my Mommy would take me to school so I could show off my outfit and maybe learn something too."

First Chairlift Ride!

Today Rick's company had a family outing day at Gunstock Ski area. It was a great event, with tons to do for the kids! The highlight, at least for Mom and Dad, was Emily's first chairlift ride. She did not show any fear getting on the lift but she did want to sit by her "self". We told her she would ride a chairlift again very soon and all the green would be white!

It is much more fun to ski down!

Letters

I never tried to "teach" Emily the letters of the alphabet. She has an alphabet puzzle that she loves. I would tell her the letters as she was finding the spot the letters belonged. As we did this, at her request......over and over, I realized she was remembering them. I would say she knows at least 20 letters. Sometimes we get confused with Z, N and G but who needs those letters anyway?

Me and My Brother

I am watching TV with my brother Ricky! He wanted to watch golf, and I wanted to watch Sesame Street. We had a talk and then we watched Sesame Street! He is a good brother!

Fun with Daddy!

Just another fun night with Emily and Daddy. They play a lot of these type of running and jumping games! Emily is always laughing hysterically!

Emily meets Baby Cam!

Emily met Cameron Hawkins ( Maria and Jim's Son) on Wednesday! She held him and made sure the binky stayed in his mouth. Whenever it fell out, which was a lot, she was VERY quick to put it back in his mouth. She has not stopped talking about our visit for two days and wants to know if she is going "back" to see Baby Cam! She looks like the proud Mommy!
" I would really like to put this binky in my mouth but I think I would get in too much trouble"

Kayaking!

Today we went "Iaking" for the first time. Emily thought it was great....until it got very windy and choppy. Overall it was a successful first outing!
