happy 11 months, Emily!

Caged In

Em's new found mobility required us to put up baby gates. She's been searching high and low for an escape.

Happy Easter!!!

Fun with Grandma G!

Emily had so much fun during Grandma G's visit! They read books:

Played patty cake:

Sang songs, ate cheerios, took walks, ate cheerios, practiced waving, ate cheerios, and played catch!

Thanks for coming to visit Grandma!!!

Home Improvement

April brought with it some much needed home repairs. A busted seal in our old dishwasher justified the purchase of this bad boy. We love it.

We also had our front gutters replaced, which was a long time coming. (Seems the roofers get pretty booked up during the rainy season, and our a little gutter job wasn't a big priority.)

Grandma and Emily supervised from below :)

Grandma G visits!

yay! Grandma G is in town and having fun with me.

so concerned

Eye Color

Emily's eye color seems to be stuck in a hazel between bluish green and brown. A few days ago, it looked like brown in the middle that faded to blue on the outside. I keep thinking that it's Momma's stubbon blue eye genes and Dadda's stubborn brown eye genes fighting on the battlefield that is Emily's irises. BTW, Momma is getting very good at taking photos with the DSLR!
