Story Time

Emmie is still trying to get used to having a sister around, but at least she is starting to interact with her some. Here's Emmie reading a story to her little sister before bedtime....

Hello World!

Delaney Sage was born at 4:08pm on May 3rd. She weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces and is 19 3/4 inches long. As you can see, she has plenty of hair, just like her sister. Both Delaney and Mommy are doing great, and Emmie is excited (and confused) to be a big sister. Here are a few pictures of Little Laney:



Delaney has been very alert when she's awake, and is always looking around. Here she is about to find out why you shouldn't stare at a camera with its flash on :)




Emmie is very gentle with Laney, although we're not sure that she understands that the baby is here to stay. She missed Mommy very much when she was at the hospital, so she's happy to have someone to play barn with again.



Here's Delaney sticking her tongue out for the camera!

Aah, asleep at last! Here's a shot of Laney catching some ZZZ's... she makes lots of little moans and noises when she sleeps, which is cute unless you're trying to sleep as well.

We're very excited to welcome Delaney to the world!

Emerson's Best Friend

Emerson has a new best friend...Chloe! Chloe has always been a little bit weary of Emerson, but lately she has been putting up with the munchkin. Emmie is very gentle with her and absolutely loves her. Now we just have to get Tabby to be a little nicer to Emmie.

Here is a cute little movie of Emmie playing with Chloe:

Picnic in the Park

We took Emmie to the park last weekend for a nice picnic. She had a great time eating all the food and watching some kids fly a kite. In fact she decided that she loved that kite so much that she made a run for it (to catch the kite) and daddy had to chase her across the park to catch her. Here are some pictures from our fun day!

It's hard to see, but that is daddy chasing Emmie across the park!

The next American Idol is...Emerson!

Here is Emerson's version of Baa Baa Black Sheep for everyone to enjoy!

A Most Eggs-cellent Birthday

Today was Easter, but also Emmie's second birthday. Needless to say, we had lots of fun! Here's a brief summary of the action:

The day began with a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt.

Note to self: hide the eggs better next year...

Then came the Easter baskets - "Candy? For breakfast? Sweeeeet!"

After breakfast we got to open some presents -

Emmie got lots of cool stuff...

Later in the evening, Emmie enjoyed a beautiful birthday cake.

Mommy had to help some with the candles...

But not with the cake - Emmie has that down :)

Hope you had a great Easter!

Rock, Rock..... Sun!!!

It's like Duck, Duck, Goose, only with pebbles and a massive incandescent fireball:
