Emily's latest project

Emily has recently discovered the Lazy Susan in the kitchen. She is enjoying the freedom that it allows her. I have found her oodles of times, rummaging through the cereal boxes. Recently, she dumped half of a 5lb bag of sugar on the floor. The dogs quickly became her best friend. This evening, I was out in the garage painting our bathroom vanity and Ryan was watching t.v. When I came in, Emily had removed a 5lb bag of corn meal from the shelf, and dumped approximately 93% of the bag was on the floor. She was having a jolly time sifting through the corn meal. In a split second I realized I had two choices: get mad then clean it up, or grab my camera, take a few pictures, then clean it up while formulating really cool scrapbook page layouts in my head. Obviously I choose the latter! Enjoy!

Did you notice her shoes? That fierce independence that we have been dreading is rearing it's ugly head!

The rooster and chicks have gone wild!

We celebrated Mom/Grandma/Donna's birthday on December 30 at Olive Garden. Because there was a long wait (what a suprise!), Daddy and Zach found some ways to entertain themselves. Lucky for us, we had our camera along...

The fun continued inside the restaurant...
