Emma's First Swim

These are some old pictures that were taken by Aunt Lani on August 11, 2006.
This was Emma's first swim in a real pool.
She had a great time.

Family Portrait

A friend took this of us at the Three Rivers Art
Festival in Covington in November.
(Thanks Sam)

On Wednesday, December 13, we set up the studio lights, and took this years Christmas portrait. Here are our favorites from that night. It was a little more of a challenge this year as she is getting around MUCH better. (Walking will do that for you.) Now when she decided she wanted to come see us, she did. She even sat in my lap and told Mommy to sit on the stool so she could take her picture. We also had to take a picture of the doll on the stool by itself.

We weren't sure if she really enjoyed the experience, but on the following night, when told she had time for one more activity before her bath, she set the stool in the same spot and started to pull out the umbrella's for the flashes. She never ceases to amaze us.

We hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a great Holiday Season.

Love,
Susan, Hal & Emma

Merry Christmas 2006!

Our Little Angel

This doll was a gift from Nannie last year.
Emma loves her.

MORE!!

See, told you I had more pictures ready. These are from August 6 to October 11, 2006. Hope you enjoy. I know we did.

We had a good time baking with her. She really enjoys helping, and asks to scoop or stir anytime she sees a spoon in a bowl.

Emma really loved swimming at Aunt Lani & Uncle Chris'. I am sure she will be excited next summer when we get to do it again. She saw a pool today and asked to get in.

More pictures coming soon.
