Eating a strawberry popsicle on a Sunday afternoon! It was 91 degrees on Sunday and Monday was about 95. We went swimming on Monday. The water was cold, but Joshua jumped right in! Emmy didn't want to be anywhere NEAR the water, much less in it! She fussed and squirmed and cried until I finally got her far enough away from the water that she felt safe! Maybe she's her Daddy's girl when it comes to swimming! May 28, 2006  

Are we ready to go yet? Off on a Sabbath afternoon drive. May 27, 2006 

Just wait and see... next time you turn around I'll be off and crawling all over the place! May 27, 2006 

A flying baby! A flying baby! "A flying baby again?" A Quote from Joshua, May 27, 2006 

Ready for summer! May 25, 2006 

Yep, it's me. I'm 27 now. May 22, 2006 

While everyone was sitting at the table eating, Emma Leigh was busy trying to master the bottle! She was pretty happy with the sips of water she got now and then! May 15, 2006 

Another picture of a sleeping baby... this is what Josh looked like in May 2004! 

So sweet in sleep... May 13, 2006 

Emma Leigh is 6 months old! What a big girl! Such a happy little thing! And it seems that she has turned 6 months old and found her voice! She's been squeeking and squealing up a storm! May 13, 2006 

She'll be off and cruising before we know it! She's just growing so fast! May 13, 2006 

Emmy eats sweet potatoes! Yeah! Apparently she likes them pretty well. May 13, 2006 

Big Brother and Baby Sister. Cutie kiddos! May 11, 2006 

Kissing Emmy. May 11, 2006 

The film strip on the right was taken in November 1979, just one week before I turned 6 months old. My mom was 24 and my dad was 26. The pictures on the right were taken yesterday, 4 days before Emma Leigh turns 6 months old. I will be 27 in a couple of weeks. It looks like Emmy has less hair than I did at that age, but she has thick hair, much thicker than mine, and it just isn't that long yet. It was fun to take these pictures and compare the two! Do you all still think Emmy is a little Mini Me? It's kind of hard to see the details in these tiny pictures! May 9, 2006 

A sight for sore eyes? Here's a look at your river Raini, hope you enjoy a little piece of home. May 7, 2006 

A little path through the trees, down to Raini's river. May 7, 2006 

Time for flowers on the river! May 7, 2006 

A peaceful look downstream. May 7, 2006 

That's the little lilac bush in the middle. I tried to find a place where it would be out of the way of future construction and there were a few little trees in this area so I put it here rather than on the other corner. May 7, 2006 

Raini's lilac bush. Actually there are a few little stalks there. Hopefully it does all right. May 7, 2006 

This odd little picture is of Joshua sitting on my lap, driving my car out to Raini's property. He understands what it means to say, "Go right, okay straighten out, now go left.. 

As you can tell, Josh has been playing in the dirt, "helping" Momma do some gardening. May 7, 2006 

Cute picture of a happy little Emma Leigh, sitting on her Daddy's lap! May 7, 2006 

Daddy and kids! Josh is busy trying to show me his red monster truck, and Emmy is busy trying to eat her dolly! May 7, 2006
