Weekend Update #1

My brother is moving to the big apple this week so we headed up to my parents to spend some time with him before he moves to the east coast. I am so excited for him and all the adventures that are to come. His photography career has really taken off, he is very talented. I know this is probably just the beginning of many stories and successes to come. Selfishly, I am sad, I am really going to miss him not living a few hours away. I can't believe I am no longer going to have any siblings living in the state. I guess we'll be planning some trips soon! What better places to visit, New York City and Chicago?!

It was 80 degrees and sunny all weekend, unlike the June gloom we've had in SD. So, we took advantage...

My parents bought Emmy a stroller and new baby doll. Her new FAVORITE thing is playing with her "bebe"!



She loved swimming in the pool!



Never say never.... I don't mean to offend anyone but I think crocs are the ugliest shoes ever. I vowed to never have Emmy wear them. Well, now that it is summer I quickly learned why so many kids wear them. She is not quite steady enough to wear flip flops around the pool or beach but she can't wear running shoes. So... I went out and bought her some crocs and yes they are oh so practical. Only until she can walk properly in flip flops!

She looks cute in ANYTHING!



This sweet, beautiful child reminding us to stop and smell the roses



I am going to miss you brother but wish you all the luck in the big move!
