Aunt Joy Comes to Visit

Aunt Joy came to visit us for the weekend all the way from Charlotte. We worked on some crafts - a shadowbox for Emily- and a pregnancy bust of Karen/newbie (which was quite exciting since Emily refused to nap so we kept having to shoo her away from the wet plaster strips.) Wish we had some pics of that comedy show! But we'll post a pic of the bust as soon as it's done!

Breakfast Time

Just a quick pic of Em enjoying breakfast! This was a wonderfully event-free morning.

Em's New Best Friend

Em's new best friend is Elmo. Seriously. Also, please note that we didn't create this hair "do." That would be a daycare creation. Apparently Emily likes to have it done and will very patiently wait in line until it's her turn to sit in Monica's lap to get her ponytail made. We just wish Monica would be around to take it out at night. You try pulling rubberbands out of a toddler's hair while they scream and wiggle out of your grasp. Fun times.

4th of July in Kismet

We got to take one more trip out to Kismet for 4th of July weekend to hang with our dear friends - Joy and Allison and Scott and Jay. The weather was wonderful so we hit the beach daily. In all the excitement we didn't break the camera out nearly enough. We did make sure to snap a few pics while sitting on the dock watching the fireworks. We always leave wishing we could stay just a little longer. Maybe next summer we can go out a few more weekends.

Joy and Scott

See, look close, Em already has a tear in her eye anticipating the weekend coming to an end.
