Emily Turns Two

Look how much Emily has changed over the last year. Her hat went from a frilly pink explosion to a hip and cool Elmo. The princess on her cake escaped and a sunshine took her place. Some hippies in tie die shirts snuck into her party. And she has also turned into a smart little walking, talking mini person. About the only thing that stayed the same is Ed's shirt, and how sane him and Allison still look, considering they usually get as much sleep in a night as Emily does in her afternoon nap.


It is amazing how far one can get in life using just three words:
mm hmm, no, and Minnie. The first is helpful when mom asks if you if you want more ketchup (dip) with your hot dog, the second is a favorite response when dad asks if you want to go night night, and the third is an easy way to summon your best bud to the TV.

Who knows what she'll be doing by the time birthday #3 rolls around...giving wedgies to her brothers, building a replica of her house using Play-Doh, or writing the next great American novel.
