Emily is 2!!

Yesterday was Emily's birthday and we had a fun party with all her friends! She loves colors and coloring with crayons so we had a color themed party with colorful food and games. Emily is learning a lot lately, she can count to ten perfectly (sometimes minus the 9), and she loves the letters "O" and "U" which she starts saying in anticipation right after C or D. Her favorite things to do lately are looking at pictures (especially if they have her in them), reading stories (namely Henny Penny, Farmer in the Soup, and Go Dog Go), and of course coloring pictures. She recently finished her second Mom and Me swimming class and loves the water. Her vocabulary is really growing and we are amazed everyday at the things she says. She is such a fun little girl, we love her and it's a joy to have her in our family.

Spring Flowers in Feburary!

We have pretty yellow daffodils in our yard, I can't believe winter is already coming to an end! Luckily we did get out and enjoy the snow a little, but it didn't seem near enough. We'll start planning for next year!
