Emma's a big girl now!

The day finally came for Emma to get her Dora bicycle! She was promised if she could go a full week...7 days without any potty accidents she would get her Dora bike. We are so proud of her! She has been working very hard to get here and its only taken a few weeks! (in full disclousure, we have been on/off all summer, but really started potty boot camp 3 weeks ago)

Yeah, now down to only 1 in diapers!

Emma's first blow out (hair, I mean)

Emma went to see her Auntie Paula for a haircut this weekend with Daddy. She is getting braver and braver evey time she goes. This time she worn the "cape" and let Auntie Paula blow dry her. She sat so nicely Auntie did the whole thing...straight! Mommy hardley recongnized her little girl when they came home! Emma thought it was so much fun! Uh Oh...what to come...

Jack is 11 months old!

So he refused to hold his sign up for me but he was smiling and laughing the whole time...so I'll take it!

Boat ride with friends

We recenlty spent a wonderul weekend in Windham, NH with some friends. All Emma kept talking about was the boat ride! Jack was tolerant of the lifevest at first but it didn't last long. Once the boat was crusing everyone was excited!

Brett was very nice and let all the girls have a turn drving...mostly we went in circles. The girls had a blast, the adult got a little woozie.

Toddler's fashion sense

Or lack there of...

There are days when Emma chooses to dress her self. She has become quite indepentant as of late. Here is one of my favs!

Carousel Ride and Ice Cream

Emma has her first carousel ride this summer. She loved it! Although it was hard to get her to smile. I think she was holding on for dear life. She insisted she ride the mermaid horse. Very into mermaids this summer.

Followed by ice cream of course!

Going...

Going...

(almost) Gone!

I feel terribly sorry to anyone who has been following our family blog...posting with 2 little ones under toe has fallen to the wayside. Please forgive me. I am in the process of going through the 100+pics we took in July at our summer home and it is a bit daunting. Not to mention we haven't even look at August pictures yet...maybe we'll catch up by xmas! Anyway...keep checking back. Honestly, I will try and get caught up soon as work is about to start back up:-(
