Odds & Ends

Rainy Day in New Mexico:

I felt it was my duty as a mother of a child who had never played in the rain to let her play at the first chance possible!! She ended up without her dress on (Grammie made her dress), and ended up naked playing in the rain! She had tons of fun, and got so dirty! But it was totally worth it!

What happens when Grammie and Emma get bored in the car on the way to Tucson? They try to take a picture together. This was the finial one, I think they were successful!

In case there was any doubt that our daughter is OBSESSED with water, here is a picture of her playing in the spray from a hose at one of the caves we saw on our visit to Tucson.

What's an almost two year old to do with three grandparents in town to play with her? Go to the park multiple times a day! Emma is quite a pro at the slide, and LOVES to play in the sand. Mommy is still trying to convince Daddy that a sand box at our new house in Ohio might be a great thing for Emma!

"Almost Birthday Party"

Like last year we seemed it was only fitting to have a birthday celebration with Grammie, Granny, and Gramps so they could have some fun watching Emma. It was lots of fun to watch her face and see how excited she was - Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to her real birthday!

New Raggy Andy to go with her Raggy Ann she got for Christmas:

New Cookie Monster and Baby Stroller - The dogs aren't sure they like the Stroller yet! Emma wouldn't let anyone touch or hold cookie monster either.

I think she likes gifts!

Birthday Cake, Candles and such:
