Life with Emree







WE have had Emree living with us the last three months. It changes things around the house but ALL of the changes are wonderful. Sure you can't leave the dishwasher open or any cupboard and don't leave a drink or food low because she can smell it and will run straight to it. The kitchen floor always has crumbs and slightly sticky and there always a little trail of stuff she has carried around....but seriously she is just the cutest and you can't help but be happy when she's around. She walks everywhere and we have loved watching her master the skill. She's generous with smiles and hugs but stingy with her kisses, unless your a large plastic baby doll almost her size. She claps when she's happy and laughs out loud. She loves oranges but will eat almost anything. She loves music and wrestling and being read to. She likes her horsey and the doggy and Yo Gabba Gabba. She'll go to almost anyone but loves her mom most. She's not so thrilled at sitting in her high chair or her car seat and doesn't like to slow down to get dressed, her diaper changed, or her face wiped. She's been a JOY to have in our house every minute of every day and we feel so blessed to be spending this time with her. (Slow down time.....you go too fast!)

What a joy!!! I can kinda relate with having Kimberly's baby close enough for me to tend. They went to the temple today, we had her all day. She has me wrapped around her finger, and I love it! She is so cute, but leave toys and books stun in her wake. Although it is exhausting, I love it! (I said that already)

So cute!! I love that she's walking already and that she is so SMILEY! Dora used to be but lately it's like pulling teeth to get her to smile for a camera. Other times, sure--she's a laughing machine, but pull out the camera and she's bored to tears!

YAY Emree! You will sure miss them when they go...

HOw much longer are they there?

What a precious child!!! There just isn't anything better than these new spirits coming into our homes. Thank you for being a part of Barb and Alan's baptism. I heard Pres Baker gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. I am thrilled at the prospects...it is only the beginning. Babette is close and my sisters are thinking once again. Miracles...lots of miracles...Answers to prayers!
