Hop on Pop

Sharing a book just after bath and just before bed. Emma's not too sure about "Hop on Pop."

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth

Goodness gracious, I haven't posted on the blog(s) in 2 months! Sorry! I have many photos to sort through: fall fun, Halloween, and Emma's first birthday. For now, I will post a photo taken on Emma's birthday: a photo of the two sisters having a tea party together. Love this! I promise I will post more very soon!

Another Thursday night at home

Emma loves this toy car (yet another hand-me-down from Madeleine).


Someday we will be able to take more photos of Madeleine without her making a crazy pose like this. As you can see, Lester Holt is not amused.

I wanna go outside!

Hanging out at home

Just some photos of the girls.

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.
