Kelly and Char

Kelly and Charlotte came to visit for a few days last week. We had a lovely visit and even made it into the city to visit the Natural History museum and the National Mall. We enjoyed a lovely picnic on the mall and survived the heat! Good times!

Playtime with Cate

My college roommate, Sara, and her daughter, Cate, came to eat and play last week. They showered us with yummy food and fun in the sun! Here are a few shots of the girls together.

Texas

Our Trip to Texas was awesome! The weather was unusually amazing and we were able to spend enjoyable time outside. Emmy had her first swimming experience and enjoyed time with Aunt Leigh and Uncle Aaron! Emmy was cutting her second tooth while we were there (it didn't break through until the day after we left) so she was a bit cranky but she still managed to crack a few smiles and laugh a little!

Teething!!!

Some of you know that Emmy and I have been struggling with teething for the past 2 months. Everything from pulling ears, rubbing checks, drooling, putting everything in her mouth, fussing and lets not forget not sleeping. I have read and heard that some babies go through teething without a sign or trace and one day surprise there is a tooth. While others go through agony and torture (for both baby and mom). Unfortunately we have had the later experience. BUT on May 2 tooth #1 made an appearance and hopefully it will get easier from here on out!

Here are a few pics of her chewing on celery and pretzels! Double fisting it!!

Easter

We had a great Easter in Philly at Mark and Kelly's house. Emmy had a great time playing and watching her big cousin and getting lovin' from Aunts and Uncles and Nanet and Paul Paw.

Update...

Emmy and I are staying busy ripping up carpet and eating grass or flowers or whatever is in reach! We are jumping around from state to state and seeing as many people as we can and we are both very tiered and ready to slow down, but before we do we are headed to TX.
