August 2010

Here is my sorry attempt to recap the last 5 months...starting with AUGUST! 

Yep...typical Emmet.

I love my sweet lil man.

Emmet's family picture.


 One of my most memorable days of summer 2010...a trip to Picnic Point. The weather was incredible the kids were super well behaved, all sorts of love goin' on in the air that day!



Spontaneous hand holding...gets me every time.



After several attempts at a picture of the three of us this is the best we came up with.


 This was an after dinner building expedition one night.


Emmet had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed.  Poor lil dude.  After a month of snoring we took him in to have him checked out (this was the symptom that Ada had too) and sure enough they needed to come out.  He was such a trooper but boy it was a rough recovery, especially the first three days.  He had lots of vomiting, nausea, and pain (of course).  He lost a bunch of weight but I am happy to report that at the time of this posting (remember it's December) Emmet has gained about 6-7 pounds and a couple of inches I think too!
  
On our way.

Just waiting...almost time.  Trooper Emmet.

The week before I had to go back to work we tried to make the most of it, especially after having been trapped in the house recovering from surgery.  So, we headed to the new and fabulous Madison Children's Museum.  We had a blast, despite the place being packed...which I have to admit the three of us aren't a big fan of crowds.  It's pretty spectacular and even though we were there for nearly 3 hours we didn't quite see it all.

BALLET
We signed Ada up for a summer "Creative Dance" (pre-ballet) class.  She LOVED it and...she's really good!

Leaping!
 T-BALL
 We signed Emmet up for T-Ball this summer.  We purposefully wanted the kids to do something separate from eachother this summer.  Emmet was really excited to play but really needed the reassurance of Daddy or Mommy with him.  It took him a good 20 minutes to get comfortable and then of course, would start to come out of his shell towards the end of the practice or game.

Ready to play ball!
Up to bat!
Running to 1st w/ Daddy pointing the way!
Hi Mom!

BEST BABYSITTING GIG EVER!
We had the pleasure of having Sophie and Diego spend an afternoon/evening with us.  The kids all had a BLAST and were utterly exhausted by the end of the night.

 Randomness of my cuties
We spent a lot of time this summer riding our bikes on the trail across from our subdivision.
Knee high by the 4th of July???  This pic was taken near the 4th.
Ada LOVES puzzles.  She did this one all by herself.
This doesn't happen too often.
...but when it does it just melts my heart.
