Catch Up

So I have been a little behind of late.
Some hikin, some soccer, some bikin, some playin with my girls.

My hot tub is working finally. It sure was a mess to get the thing cleaned up, lots of contamination after 16 months of idleness. It is a good one too!

Emma is walking and starting to talk, augmenting her signs, and getting her little mitts into everything; plants, toilets, and corners you didn’t know you had.

She is starting to say things like: Mamma, Dadday, name, mow, and basically react to just about any stimulus you give her. Unless of course it is the “NO” stimulus and she really feels like grabbing something out of the planter.

Here is a picture some of you may have seen before.

And Abby meanwhile is in Jazz which she loves, swimming lessons in which she is doing excellent, and gymnastics too; which pretty much means Angela is doing those things too.

She is starting to write, as evidenced by something I found on the back porch.

As if we needed any more evidence that she loves Ariel and everything mermaid, here we see her at Snoqualmie falls, posing for her ‘cover shot’ as a mermaid.

Amazing how unreal this shot looks, it almost looks fake but I resisted the urge to do anything but crop it. Maybe someday I will put some fins on her for a ‘what if’.
