Photo Shoot With Grandma Loerch

Yes, this is Emma... I almost can't believe that is her, in the picture above! She looks about 5 years old, and SO proud of her belt.

Emma stayed with Grandma and Papa Loerch last week, as all the other kids at Carol's daycare were off for spring break. My mom took advantage and did a 3 year photo shoot with Emma:)

Here she is in a dress that I wore when I was 4, however my mom said it was still pretty big on her. Whew!

This is a classic Emma picture! This is a preview of her Easter dress, which she is in love with!

And our most favorite picture of all...

Emma and I enjoyed our first day of spring break, even though it was quite cold out! We met Grandma Loerch for rolls at a Local bakery (where Emma almost fell in their little pond!), we went to get puppy and kitty food at the local grain elevator, we bought a hyacinth, we picked up dog poop, we took Cooper for a walk down to the bus "barn", we took her bike out for a ride, her stroller out, and last but not least her wagon:) THEN we headed to McDonald's for lunch - I was feeling like celebrating:) And she went down for her nap so well - praise God because bed-time has been a NIGHTMARE!!!!!! I even got to read for a bit while she napped!!! Then we got groceries this evening - nothing hugely special today,just a real nice day together!

Love to all...

El's "Birthday"

What does Elliott get for sharing a birthday with Emma? Well, he gets to celebrate it early, of course:) As a matter of fact, two weeks early!

We celebrated at my Mom's a couple of weeks ago, and Emma was so intrigued with Uncle Peter - it was cute. She noticed that Peter hadn't had dessert yet, so she asked him if he wanted some, then she helped him eat it!
Helping Daddy blow out candles...

This is what Emma picked out for Daddy, for a gift.

Like I said, Emma was so curious about Uncle Peter, she walked over to him and help his hand....!!!! SO SWEET!

Lately, bed time had been a total disaster.... On a cute note though, I asked her what she wanted to do tomorrow and she told me, "Oh! Pick up Cooper's poop outside!"

Love to all

Ok, so she might be picking her snuggie - but ain't she sweet?!!!
She has been obsessed with spring shoes lately! Elliott got her a pair of white ones with little heels, and I got her some pink ones with flowers and at 5:30 am she wakes up to ask if she can put them on!!!

On a cute story note: on the way home today I was telling her that we were going to the zoo tomorrow with my friend Cindy and her son Ben. Emma said, "Oh no, I don't think I can wait that long! I can wait one or two minutes to go to the zoo...." Sweet:)
