Full Weekend

We had a busy weekend. Robert came home from a week of work in MN, it was so nice to have him back. He spent most of his "free" evening Friday fixing the air conditioner drainage lines. Sat. Em and I went to some garage sales, I am still hoping to score a dresser for her room. Rob worked on the Chevelle. Sat. night we went to Osky for a birthday party. Sunday we did church, Cyclones Fan Fest and a potluck at church, plus dessert with friends. Now I working on loading pictures from our full camera, and listening to the sweet purr of the Chevelle running in the garage. Rob and his engine buddy, Dave are working hard out there. I am sure it is sweet music to our neighbors to hear the engine once again, especially at 10:00 on Sunday evening!

Birthday Post

I still cannot figure out why I can't embed a slide show from Picasa... I have done it before, but I am getting tons of errors about embedded and such. I am just not that computer savvy. I think I did fix it enough so you could see the pictures. If you click on the sidewalk paint picture, it should take you to the Picasa album to view.

Story time with Emily

Emily will often insist on reading to us. This is her reading her new book about flying on an airplane, a gift from Grandpa from the Oshkosh Airshow.

What a surprise!

We had a big surprise awaiting us today at my ultrasound.

Corn or Popcicle?

Nevada Aquatic Center

This morning we headed over to the Little Tykes swim in Nevada. Emily loved swimming and jumping in from the side of the pool. She is becoming more brave with the water. I think next time I will try to bring some water toys with us, as many other families had them along, and Emily was ogling all of them. I only took one picture, as it would not have been safe to be Miss Photographer as I was the sole watcher of Em. The picture shows some of the pool in the background. Emily is growling at me, begging to go back in. I made her come take a 1 minute break to drink some water, and she was not to pleased!

2 Year Well Child

Today we went to visit Em's pediatrician for her 2 year well baby checkup. Things went quite well. As always she is in the 50% of weight, height and head circumference, weighing in at 26lb. 33.5 inches and head being 49 cm. The Dr. seemed quite impressed with her counting and sentence formation. Emily received the second round of Hep A vaccine. We don't go back until three years, except we will probably get another flu vaccine this fall.

And the excitement didn't end there. We came home and found a little package from Cy awaiting Emily. Her enrollment pack from Lil' Clone Club had arrived, a cute t-shirt, pass to all the events, poster from Cy and special invite to help Coach Chizik on the field for the first game.
