Finally, a chance to post my pics from the last couple of days! It's hard to carve out time every day to do pictures, but I am going to try.
Thank you to
Memere Croy in RI - the girls are the lucky recipients of matching aprons - they were so cute in them together! Emma loves to help cook and has been a 'Lil Chef' for quite some time. It does help that daddy is a pro :)

Emma has been on a mission of card making, coloring and 'projects' for the last few days. Her latest creation, a queen's crown, was inspired. She has been dancing and singing for the last couple of hours with this hat on - an Emma original. I am humbled in her presence.

Riley, one of our many four legged residents, has a ferocious bark - the poor UPS man should just throw our packages and save himself the onslaught of teeth and barking. However, when it comes to waiting for 'daddy' to come home, she looks pretty docile and quite honestly, a little pathetic.

While I was getting lunch together, Olivia was apparently bored, tired, who knows. She took it upon herself to go and retrieve one of her lovely knit blankets and take up residence on one the recliners (soon to be replaced!!!!). It's nice that she can take care of herself so well already. The process has begun...I will not be needed for everything...Emma became independent so early on that I am secretly hoping Olivia stays 'little' for longer. This is when I start to think about one more...I miss the baby/infant stage - crazy as it can be at times, I miss it.
