Emily Turns 3

Happy Birthday, EMILY ! ! !

Emily turned 3 on August 11th. We were way excited to have Jonathan, Seth, John, and Christine here to celebrate, and to wear pink, shiny party hats. It was the first birthday that Emily was able to anticipate. She talked about it for weeks before, and is already talking about her next birthday.

Christine snapped this great shot of Emily shying away from the flaming birthday cake.

Adam arranged the candles in the shape of a 3. One look, and I knew she would need a lot of help getting them all out. We also went swimming as a family, Emily's choice.

Five, Four, Three . . .

Five days left until we modernize, going high speed and wireless. Instead of it taking us about 5 hours to make this post it will take no time at all. Or so it will seem after having had dial-up.

We may be seeing more of you on video chat!
