32 months old - April 16

Emily has become quite the little singer around our house. Anytime she's playing and concentrating with her toys or when she's winding down for nap time she'll be humming away. I pray it continues and she has a joy for singing as her Mommy does.

We all had fun spending time with Gimmy, Pappy, Holly, Vern and Colby during their visits for Aunt Kristen's bridal and bachelorette showers and we're all anxiously awaiting the return of Mommo and Poppaw from their lengthy stay in Texas.

Emily is definitely an outdoor girl and we're so thankful the weather is getting nicer. She really enjoyed using her garden kit to help me plant the Martha Washington Geranium that Gimmy gave us and the Easter Lilly that Aunt Kristen gave us. She will definitely be a help when we get our garden up and running.

Easter 2009

This was Emily's 2nd year to participate in an Easter Egg Hunt. We had great weather and were blessed by the turn out from the community. Emily had a blast and spent the majority of her time playing with the plastic ducks in the wading pool. We were also blessed that some of our dear friends made Emily a set of resurrection eggs as an aid in sharing the true meaning of Easter with her. She couldn't wait to look in the specific egg each night.


EASTER SUNDAY
I know dressing up for Easter Sunday is not a focus for the season, but it's so cute seeing all the little boys and girls decked out in their fancy clothes.

Gifts from Family

Recently Emily has returned to her love of playing in the kitchen sink and our downstairs bathroom sink and she undoubtedly gets soaked every time so Mommo sent Emily a waterproof apron and since then Emily stays dry as a bone.

During one of our visits to Gimmy and Pappy's Emily played with the snowflake window decorations almost the entire time. So Gimmy started sending Emily her own window decorations for each season. She loves taking down the prior season decor and putting up the new things. Here Aunt Kristen and Emily are updating the Easter decor with the bunnies and egg stick-ons that Aunt Holly sent in Emily's Easter package.

Thank you all so much for these very special gifts!!!
