Take Me Out to the Ball Game

The Sunday before school started, we went to Turner Field to see the Cubs play the Braves. We had a great time! And the Cubs won--even better!

One of the vendors gave Madeleine a cup of crushed ice, which amused her for a good 45 minutes. Why buy millions of other snacks when her favorite thing was ice?

We can't wait to go to another game next season!

Emma's baptism

On Saturday, July 16th, Emma was baptized at St. Joseph's in Marietta. Here are some photos from the fun morning. Above is Frank, Megan, Emma, and our deacon, who baptized Emma.

Silly Emma faces

We literally have dozens of photos like this. All of it will be blackmail material for when she's older.

Hey! Hi! What?

Emma at the aquarium

Yesterday was Emma's first visit to the Georgia Aquarium (hopefully not her last). At certain times she was absolutely transfixed by the fish. Yet when we got to the big "Ocean Tank" (always a highlight for her mother), she was sound asleep. Ah well.

Eyelashes

Look at this child's eyelashes. She will never need mascara. Lucky girl.
