Booster Seat

Today was a great day for Emmy's core strengthening time. We purchased (with the great help of a Walmart gift card courtesy of Aunt Annette) a 3 stage booster seat. Emmy likes it  and was watching me while I worked on a little craft project.  Enjoy the pictures.



 Emmy donned a new hat: the nursing cover corner.



Tummy time!

Thanksgiving Day

Today was Thanksgiving  and it was a great day.  Sean and I helped June get ready for the day and I was in charge of doing a Chocolate Mile High Pie. 
Here is a picture of Emmy just for the record. She is getting ready for her needed bath.

The clan minus June.

 Everyone


 Here is my Mile High Pie.



 Sean was the pie cutter for the evening.



 The pie was 4.5 inches tall of yummy goodness.


After dinner and cleanup, the clan played several rounds of Bang. Emmy was Sean's partner and she seemed to know her stuff.

3 year anniversay

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary. The coolest thing  was the Sean took me Country Dancing!

I made Sean take some photos. These are outside the country place.

The Big Move

The day of the big move finally arrived. Thank goodness for my husband and brothers. I really wanted to rearrange the computer lab at C.S. Lewis Academy because it was not conducive for the teachers nor the students. We moved the large and bulky cubicles out and replaced them with space desks. Now each computer has its own station and the whole area is more open. I still need to buy a cord cover for the floor and one more computer plug for the projector. Here are the photos!

 Jeff is unplugging all the computers. Look at those cubicles.

 David hard at work.

 Lots of time and work later... here it is.




 They still have energy left!


Moving was hard on Emmy too!

Vacation Time and a New Skirt

Sean starts his first day a Turkey Break today and I took full advantage of it. While Emmy was napping in Sean's arms I made a light green skirt for Emmy. I like skirts more than dresses because they stay in place. Dresses, at least at this age, tend to ride up and I find that I am spending more time pulling them down. I have lots of extra fabric around and decided to make some magic. Now the only question is to see if it fits! Say tuned.

 Such a great shot. Sean really enjoys holding his little girl.


This skirt took me 30 minutes and it was only because I had to gather the skirt piece three times. This is the blog I got the tutorial from.

Sunday and Talks

Today was the great awaited day of our talks in our ward. Sean and I were assigned to speak on the topic of hope. It went very well. I took a grand total of 13 minutes...Sean was grateful. He did a total of 18 minutes. All in all, the sacrament hours was filled perfectly. And there wasn't even a youth speaker. Yes, there was a choir number and yes, there were about a thousand callings and releasings, and yes, the bishop spoke briefly to introduce the topic. But it was great nonetheless. Also, Emmy came prepared in her new dress to support her parents. She was our lucky charm.

 Here is a great photo of Emmy giggling.

 Once again, the flash got the best of her.

 Sean and his baby girl relax on the couch after a long Sunday.

Emmy is ready for night time!

Morning Giggles

Okay... the pictures don't look like giggles but that is all Emmy does in the morning while I make oatmeal. While I was trying to take the pictures Emmy did not like the flash and red light. My camera is not quick enough for her so I got the reactions instead. Maybe this would be a good time to take to Sean about a new camera. JK!

Enjoy.


 Emmy has Sean's eyes, eyelashes and all.

The flash really got her on this one!
