Emma at the Beach

Last summer, Em spent her time at the beach sleeping in her car seat. Lame. No fun. At all.

This summer, totally different story! There is sand to be eaten! LOTS of sand to be eaten! A whole beach of nothing but, you got it, SAND to be EATEN!

Yeah, so Emma likes to eat sand. She is the first one of babies I have dealt with this with. So, our solution is to just let her eat it. I could spend our whole time at the beach trying to stop her, but, enh, what's the point? She gonna eat it. It ain't gonna hurt her. Made for some interesting diapers, but she has a nice sand blasted colon!

Ah, but look at that face, covered in sand and all. Too cute for words. Wonder if she will ever get hair...

Easter!

As is becoming tradition, we headed out to Palataka to Grammy's farm house for Easter. I didn't bring the good camera, and I honestly was feeling more like hanging out than taking pictures, so these are not the best. There are none of Emma, she slept like a champ! Anyhow, here is Easter 2011!






I had to put up this one of Elijah. He's too cool to carry an Easter Basket, but not too cool to wear his pajamas outside to do an Easter Egg Hunt and fill his tee shirt with his loot! Love it!

First Pool Trip of the Year and the Body Puzzle

This morning, we headed over to see if Miss Toni's pool was finally warm enough for us to swim. We didn't get to use the pool a whole lot last summer because we didn't move in until the end of June and then, Em was born, and well, yeah, that pretty much was why. Em was born.

So, Ava, Emma, and I decided to go over for a morning swim while Lily was at school. It was a smidgen chilly. Emmie put her toes in (and thought it was pretty awesome), but Ava and I did not make into the water. A little too cold for me. We decided to come back in the afternoon when the sun was out a little more and Lily could come with us.


So, we headed home. Emma went down for a nap and Ava decided we needed to do a puzzle. We busted out the body puzzle we got Daddy as a gag gift from the Goodwill. Giant puzzle of a body with a three year old. Not my best idea ever, but she had fun and we chit chatted. Doesn't she look likes she's having a blast?

When Lily got home, we headed back to the pool. It was PERFECT! The temperature was wonderful and all three girlies had a blast! Emma even chilled in her float for awhile. Think we will be spending lots of time over at Miss Toni's this summer!

The GIANT Lollipop (Finally)!

Ava finally got to eat the giant lollipop she got for her birthday. Think that face says it all! Funny thing was, she only ate like a tenth of it then left it for the ants (oh, yeah, I made her eat it outside). She was lucky the ants didn't eat her, sticky as she was when she was done...
