Play.

May has been all about play.  Birthday parties, graduation parties, play dates, girls dinners, neighborhood friends, and sunny days at the zoo.  We've been so busy having fun, that I haven't gotten my camera out even once.  So enjoy these little fly-by snapshots with my phone of our month of play. :)

Two.

Emma is officially TWO!!  Time is really flying.  I'm so glad that I get to be Emma's mommy.  We are so grateful to have such a beautiful, smart, funny girl.  


We had a fantastic party on Saturday.  We are blessed with amazing friends and family who came to celebrate with us. Twenty-four adults and twenty-four kids ranging from four months to twelve years came to wish Emma a happy birthday!  














It ended up being cold and rainy, so our outdoor activities were a no-go.  Luckily, our basement is unfinished enough to make a mess without a fuss.  I always try to have something fun for the bigger kids.  This year, we headed down to the basement,  handed out shower caps, loaded the tops of their heads with whipped cream, and had them throw marshmallows trying to land them of their team members heads.  It turned into a HUGE marshmallow war between the dads and kids.  So much fun!



The little kids enjoyed bouncing from floor to floor playing with toys.  We were really amazed how well all the children played together in such a small space!






We love you so much, Emma!  Thank you for brightening our days for the last two years!
