Emily has her first illness. She’s developed a nasty cough, officially called croup by the ER doctor we went to visit on Sunday. (Okay, so maybe the ER was a little unnecessary, but she sounded terrible! We were worried she was going to stop breathing.) There’s nothing to do for it but let it run its course. She continues to be in a good mood; she just sounds like a braying donkey. Night is especially bad, even in spite of the humidifier we have running in her room.
We introduced her to bubbles the other day. Fun.
She always helps me vacuum:
She loves Bear.
The ‘cakes is very interested in, well, everything. As soon as you set her down, she’s crawling off to explore something. I was trying to get her ready for a bath the other night and she kept leaving the room. I though it would be funny to get naked pictures of her but even that was difficult because she was already on-the-go to her next destination!
My man, being manly as he jackhammered the old frost wall out so that the paving guys can do their thing on Thursday. (I made sure to include only the picture where Chris was hard at work and David was “supervising”.)
Another view of manly men at work, and also a shot of the newly “riprapped” hillside to keep landslides at bay.
Emily wearing her camo outfit for the last time. She didn’t even make it to the start of hunting season!
Emily is wearing my first crocheted hat — it turned out pretty well!
Another beautiful day for a walk around town and then a trip to our favorite, the swingset:

She makes us smile everyday! You live in a beautiful location. We’ll send some warm weather your way soon, in thought anyway.

Well, I’m back adding another response
Again, little Emily is SO darned cute as she wrestles The Bear!! I just want to keep watching that segment. She will love it when she’s older. By the way, is there another name for the accomodating huge teddy? I also wanted to mention little one’s pink hat. I didn’t realize you croched it yourself! You are getting into so many things. It’s wonderful! What a mom!!!! I also loved watching little Toots scurrying around naked. She’s so darned cute. I was sad hearing her croupy throat, but it didn’t seem to stop her much. lovelove

I had to look up crochet….I goofed above. It’s crocheted. I think. Had to correct that. I’m just like my mother was. Also to add above that she is adorable in the swing……..
