For Jordan ...

This post is dedicated to Jordan.  Just over a week ago Jordan spent his last day with Emma and the family.  He had been sick for several months, and was starting to get worse without any hope for recovery.  It was a very sad weekend, and his presence has been sorely missed.  For a little cat (well not that little as cats go :)), he was big personality and left a mark throughout our home and our lives.  Emma took to him immediately, and he took to her (though he was able to hide his excitement most of the time).

We are glad she was able to hang out with him for a couple of months, as he was instrumental in helping us through the journey to Emma over the last five years.  

On a happier note, I have finally posted a video of Emma.  She has learned to do peek-a-boo on her own, and thoroughly cracks herself up. 

Thanks for checking in and for all the support ...

"Who is this kid and how long will she be here?"
Jordan was helpful at bath time.

Below is a video of Emma doing peek a boo.  I will try to post some more video later.

quality winter time.

Waking up from her nap, full of laughs. 

She has never used a pacifier and seems somewhat
perplexed with this thing in her right hand.  Though the
 remote she is comfortable with.

Getting ready for dinner at the Freshwaters.  Let the laughter begin ...

Sleeping peacefully ... just before dad wakes her from her nap.
