Halloween 2007

Well, I am fianlly finding time to update Emma's blog. I have so much to catch up on. I want her to be able to look back at this someday and be able to see everything she did. Kinda like an online scrapbook.

Soooo, here is Emma at Halloween. She loves cats, so of course that is what she wanted to be....with a little added fluff and sparkle.

We went to the Fall Festival at her school that night with her Cousin Caitlin and then over to one of our friend's house and went trick or treating with them. We had lots of fun!!!

Emma's First Soccer game

Emma had her first Soccer game on Saturday September the 8th. Their team is called the Soccer Monsters. Their uniforms aren't in yet but they are going to be purple and white. You know I was hoping for pink ....oh well. Anyway, lets just say that Emma will not be making soccer her occupation. She likes being there and playing with the other girls, but as far as actually playing soccer......she isn't really into that. She stands there looking around and if the ball should come near her she is sure to get out of the way. Oh well, her mother and father aren't exactly athletic either so she comes by it naturally. I guess we will encourage the dance/singing/musical instrument route.

First Day of School

Well, on August 22nd Emma started Pre-K 4. She is going 5 days a week from 8:00 until 3:00. When we decided to do this last year, I thought it was going to be great. Well, it is great....for Emma. I have to say though that I am having some difficulty adjusting. I didn't think I would be one of those mothers who would have a hard time. I think that part of it is just that it seems like such a turning point in both of our lives. She is my one and only child and now I will NEVER have a preschooler again. Done, finished, never to return. How very sad is that???? Almost makes me want to have another child. Just kidding.....I will learn to deal with it. But I am sad to think that my little girl is growing up and is now in school. I know that I will blink and she will be grown. Here are a few pictures of her big day.

The crew is coming

So...there is a film crew coming to our house next week. They are making a documentary about our family. It sounded like fun at the beginning, but now, I am VERY nervous. They came down for one day about 3 weeks ago. They were only with us for about 4 hours, but it was weird. They say "just do what you normally do", but HELLO, I don't usually do it with a camera stuck in my face. Anyway, I am nervous about the whole thing. They are going to follow us around for 4 days. Work, social stuff, church....everything. So, we will see how it goes. I hope they aren't too bored...we aren't really the most exciting family or anything.

Princess Dance

Princess Dance

Emma went to Princess with a Purpose Camp. It is a wonderful camp that teaches little girls that they ARE a true princess because they are daughters of the ONE TRUE king. She loved it. They had a tea on the last day that the parents got to come to. The video is of the dance they did at the Tea.

No Tubes!!!!

Yea!!! We found out this afternoon that Emma DOES NOT have to get tubes put in her ears. We thought she was going to have to and I even thought that today when we went in that we would be scheduling it. But, they re-tested her hearing and she is in the "normal" range now and so we will wait and watch. So, no tubes for now ......
