Family Photo

A couple of weeks ago Emerson's teacher asked us to bring in family photos to display in the classroom. After looking through our photos, I realized that we haven't had a picture taken of the three of us since Emerson's baptism. So, this weekend I made sure we posed for a family photo.

And we posed in front of our freshly painted fireplace. We still need to update the fireplace doors, but it looks 200% better with a white coat of paint. Goodbye stained wood!

Sporting a new hair do

Emerson had beautiful long hair, but since she wouldn't let me dry it with a hair dryer or brush it on most days, I decided it was time for a cut. She got a cute little bob with bangs. Her bangs are a little short but it's a good thing since her hair grows like a weed. Also, with some of the length being cut off, she has beautiful bouncey curls again.

Emerson loved Cookie Cutters until she heard a hair dryer, and she cried the entire time she was getting her hair cut....which is probably why her bangs turned out so short!

Maybe her next trip will be a little more enjoyable.

ABCs

Emerson surprised us this week with singing ABCs. Sometimes she misses more letters than others, but no matter how many letters she misses she has the cutest little singing voice ever.

My Little Bumblebee

Emerson enjoyed Halloween. On Friday, she had a costume parade at school, and she didn't seem to care that Jim and I were there. On Saturday, we walked around with Sonya and family, and Emerson held Katelyn's hand when Katelyn didn't want to walk up to houses. Emerson was afraid of a few of the costumes and scary decorations, but overall she had a great time. She really enjoyed watching a Great Dane wearing a pink t-shirt walk around the neighborhood...you can see evidence of this in the picture of her riding in the wagon...she was talking to the dog.
