President's Day at Nana's House

Molly had to work on President's Day, so Miss Emma spent the day with us. Here are some photos from our day together. She has a new picnic basket filled with play food. She is especially fond of the 4 potato chips!

Emma Coloring

This was the first time we gave Emma crayons. She worked a while marking on most of the pages. She then occupied herself for about 15 minutes taking them out of a plastic bag, putting them back in a plastic bag, taking them out of a plastic bag, putting them back in a plastic bag .............

More Fun with Photoshop

This page was fun to do. I drew the frog and scanned it in, so I'm learning to incorporate my own drawings with my photographs. And yes, Molly does know that Emma chews on Sophie's dog toys.

Another Page for January

February Scrapbook Page

Emma stayed with Matty and me on Tuesday of this week. Emma had been sick the day before and Molly needed some help so she could meet some work obligations during her busy season. Emma wore us out! I took these pictures of her while she was strapped in to her highchair. You can really see how her hair is growing in this photo.

Too Busy to Blog...

Sorry, Emmy. I have been crazy busy with work since the new year started. A week in Denver and a week in Philly put me way behind on everything. I am headed to Denver again on Monday and returning on Friday. Since you have warned me that I can't come to stay after Bobby is born without a finished wallhanging -- this weekend is devoted to working on the stitching I need to complete.

Matty and I babysat for Emma all day on Tuesday. She wore us out. She is on the move every minute and testing boundaries constantly. We love her personality.

I really haven't done much in the way of projecting except working on more scrapbook pages for Emma. I bought some 8x8 scrapbooks for Bobby (don't worry all blue) and will start the same for him. Did you get your cameras?

Here are a couple of pages that I completed for Emma. I started at the present and worked backwards -- completing October 2007 this evening. I used an online tool to create part of the word collage on this scrapbook page. Check it out at this web site -- http://www.wordle.net/createhttp://www.wordle.net/create

I can't wait to meet Bobby, won't be long now. I'll book my flights this weekend.

I love Jim and Sarah's blog. Sarah is so talented and her sense of humor comes through in her video clips and postings. Dan and I are both big fans!
