Happy Easter!

"Yes, you can take ANOTHER picture ..."

"Are you guys ready yet?"

Getting ready for dinner

Reading with Auntie

"So this is how I see things going - dad start in the kitchen"

"Don't even think about taking my egg"

Having a social break with cousin Nora - discussing the crazy adults

Walking AND reading at the same time

Assessing her basket

Emma and her Illinois' cousins

Getting tired ...

But plenty of room for dessert with Auntie

Reflections ...  Sorry to be so profound out of the proverbial "gates",
but couldn't help it.  Can't wait till she can get in the yard ...
And start mowing of course :)

Still working on the "pose" ...  Need to subsidize college at some point.

"Full on" walking, and the squeaks are there to prove.  Very cute - for a while ...

Yup.  You are witnessing the genesis of a shoe "obsession" - thanks Mom ...

"How cute am I?  Really?"

Every star needs a profile shot.  Emma "look away like
you really don't care".



All dressed up for Saturday night!!!  Time to meet some cousins.



"Just let me grab my bag, and I am ready to go!"

A future wrestler?  She has the pose, just needs to drop the smile.

After countless hours of pondering how to teach the skill of "drinking from a straw" she

finally mastered it.  Only wish we had actually come up with a solution. 

How do I look?

"Stop interrupting me! @$*&@  I am trying to read."

I love a good ending ...

Someday she will hate me for this one.  But can I say
"Emma waz a punk rocker, Emma waz a punk rocker ..."
