FAMILY TIME

Sorry no pictures. I just hate to post without putting up some pictures. But, 1) I hate my camera, 2) we really haven't been doing too much lately, 3) I haven't been taking too many pictures and 4) I just don't feel like posting pictures to night. So there you have it - the long on why there is no pictures.

Now back to the reason that I am journaling: FAMILY TIME. Emily just loves family time. She calls it family (or as she says sammee) time when she gets to fall asleep between Mommy and Daddy in our bed. We try to do this 2 or 3 times a week. She has also started saying just whenever that she loves her family. Sometimes she even says she loves her "new" family. Not sure where she got that one. She also likes to have family kisses and hugs. She will pull us towards her and we will all three hug and kiss at the same time, and she loves it. Too sweet.

I am so behind on blogging!!!! uggghhh

I know I know, I am so behind. And won't be catching up tonight. Sorry, no pics.

We haven't been up to much lately. We have been swimming some at Granny's. We went to a splash park with Aunt Trudy and family....and that is about it. I will post some pics of the splash park on my next post.

Yesterday was also the 2nd anniversary of our referral day. My how our lives have changed in 2 years. We now have had Emily almost longer than we waited, and believe me we felt like we waited forever. But I am also sensitive to others who have been waiting much longer than we did. Your time will come and you too will be looking back and saying how time flies.

As far as what we have coming up:

We start tumble again on the 24th of this month. Emily can't wait. We took the summer off and she asked atleast once a week when we were going back to tumble.

Emily and I are going to IL to my cousins at the end of Sept. We are really looking forward to that.

Sept. also holds birthdays for both Mommy and Daddy. She just loves birthdays. She is always asking whose birthday is next.

Oct will be a pretty fun month as well. She really enjoyed the pumpkin patch last year and asks atleast once a month when we are going back. We also plan on doing the corn maze.

Nov. is National Adoption month and we plan on celebrating all month long. We have begun using the adoption word around the house. She is too little to understand, but we want here to never remember a time when we didn't talk about adoption. We ask her if she is adopted, and she says no. We then ask her if she adopted Mommy and Daddy, and she says yes. Too cute.

And here are some things that she is able to do now:

She can put on her own socks and shoes. And most of the time shoes are on right feet. She can color very well. She loves to play matching games and find the hidden obects in a picture.

Ok, so much for a short post. Pictures next time....I promise.
