Dorothy the Fish!!!

Elliott and Emma have been talking about getting a fish for weeks now, and I was the last to know:) So we had plans to go on Saturday to the "puppy store" so Emma could pick one out! She was really most excited about the "shopper in training" carts that she gets to push around, BUT once we got her focused and Cooper under a little bit of control.... Emma picked out a Finding Nemo fish tank and a multi-colored goldfish (that will eventually get so big it will have to go live in Grandma Loerch's pond!!!). On the way home she decided to call it Dorothy, just like Elmo's fish.
Emma and Daddy got the tank all set-up and Dorothy seems fairly happy! Emma gets excited when she remembers that she is up in her room and has to go check on her. We did realize after the fact that we should have gotten a plain orange one - easy to replace! Oh well....

Emma admiring her Daddy... It is a miracle when I can get her hair in pig-tails so we had to celebrate with pictures:)

She is such a joy - getting so much easier to take places and generally happy, unless she is tired or disappointed, but that usually passes quickly too!
Love to all...

Elliott is such a great Dad and Emma has the most amazing smile--it lights up the world around her. I got the darling water cup with the picture Emma had colored--it went to the wrong house--thank you Emma--Grandma loves and misses you very much, you are such a joy and so very sweet and precious. Love you all and miss you so much.
