I found this video of a 12 year old. Everyone should take the time to watch it!

30 months old
Oh what a ham, but it doesn't last long. She says cheeeeeeeese one time and then she's finished. I'm guessing that's typical of a 2 year old though, always going and moving on to the next thing. I thought the heart dress would be appropriate for this month. This is just one of the many dresses we received from the Richmond's that go to our church. Their little girl outgrew a lot of her dresses and clothes and they wanted to pass them down. We're so grateful.
This month Emily broadened her drink horizon by trying something other than her regular drink of choice which is water. Charlie persuaded Emily to try orange juice and after she finally took a sip, she decided she really liked it. She also realized that she really likes almonds and that usually ends up being our mid-morning snack.
Emily can sing her ABC's now and loves to read. She's particularly fond of this first grade reader we found at my parents house called "That Fat Hat". We read it almost every night before bed and even a few times during the day. She has now started asking if she can sleep with the book. What will she think of next.

The Real Wedding Dress
As mentioned in an earlier post, there's been lots of wedding talk around our house and Emily periodically "tries" on different dresses from JoAnn Fabric flyers to night-nights wrapped around her waist. Well, Kristen found the actual flower girl dress last week and took a picture so the family could see. Of course she won't be wearing a red shirt underneath and the petals in the dress will not be coral and peach.

Joan Rivers
No, I am not aspiring to look like Joan Rivers. Long story short....about a year and a half ago I connected with a local talent agency mainly out of mere curiosity to see if I could make any extra money in print and commercials. I took it one step at a time through each doorway praying that if the Lord did not want me to continue that He would shut the door. Since then I've been blessed to have had 2 print jobs and 1 commercial (Miller's Amish Furniture). The picture below is for my Mom so she could see what I looked like for my Nationwide audition today which suggested I dress and act the part of Joan Rivers.
Without sounding like the folks accepting the Oscar award, I am thankful to God foremost for giving me the ability and the gumption to pursue something like this and I am also so thankful to my family and friends for their encouragement.
