What's New...

Emily has had a great summer. She had to get glasses this summer to help correct her vision. She does really good with wearing them because they help her to see better. We were riding home from picking up her glasses and she said from the back seat of the van, "Look, that man has a nose!" I wonder what she had been seeing and thinking up to that point. She has been practicing swimming without floaties and loves being outside. She has caught a couple of fish from the canal behind our house. She also had a great time at Vacation Bible School.

Emily is a ball of energy. She is going-going-going from the moment she wakes up in the morning till she finally falls asleep at night. She has been in her new preschool class for 2 months now. She loves her teacher Ms. Maggie and her new friends. She looks forward to going to class every Tuesday and Thursday. She has become a picky eater much to the dismay of her mom and dad. She loves to blow bubbles, draw in her notebooks, and share with others. She is very good at antagonizing her sister, but what second child isn't? We love her spunky personality. She makes the funniest expressions when she is talking at times.

Emily is growing up so much. She is soon to be 3 years old and love to tell stories, read books, sing songs, pretend to be a kitty cat, and much more. Santa came to our house to visit us this Christmas. Emily told him that she wanted a puppy and a kitty, but she did it from the safety of daddy's lap. In this photo she is telling Santa that she is 2 years old.

Here are a few pictures of her with family. She definitely has her own personality and way of interacting with people. She is very loving but gives hugs randomly. She has often said to me, "No hug and kiss, Mommy." Gotta keep trying though. :)
