Emi's first trip to Florida

We love you all!

Sky high and lovin it.

Emily did AMAZING on the flight.

Emily's first flight to Fl

It is time for mommy to defend her dissertation proposal. A HUGE step. Emily is coming along.

Daddy and the girls walked us right up to security and kissed their baby sister goodbye for the first time. They're off to lunch with Daddy and Grandpa.

Emily and I have made is through security without trouble- So far so good!

Just because I'm cute....

We had a sad week with little Emily. She had a stomach virus that caused a lot of ickies. I never knew little infants could actually wretch, heave and vomit. For the record...they can and it's very sad.

We are feeling better and enjoying out fall 6-12 mo (WOW!) clothes.

Off to Fl tomorrow. What a traveler Emi is.

Family Movie Night

A fire in the fireplace, Disney's Chimpanzee on the TV, and big girls cuddling up- yes, this is a good night!!!!

(Emi is in bed and below you see Tay IN our new ottoman- her new favorite place. )

All bundled up

Fall is in the air and the girls are prepared!!!

Hanging with the TV

New toys

This is the age I LOVE. Look at those eyes so intense on the targeted toy!!!! Can't you just see those neurons connecting?!?!?!

It's cereal time

Emi has been showing signs of being ready for cereal for awhile now, so we tried it out yesterday. And.... SHE LOVES IT!!!!

Now we get to have family breakfasts and dinners. Here is Tay feeding her this morning.

Boating with the cousins

It is so fun to watch the girls and my sister's kiddos play and grow up together--
Yet another awesome reason for moving home!!!!!

Here is Emily and cousin Eloise who are just 1 month apart, and the girls with Alex who is 5 and Addy G., who is 10.
