Emma

Despite starting school this past Thursday, trying to get my arms around my curriculum, waking up at the crack of dawn and just being plain ole' exhausted, yes, despite of all that we had a fabulous weekend with our 15 month old niece Emma. Emma and her parents (Daniel's brother) live here in Charlotte. This was Emma's first time being left over night and she did great! We did great together! It was so much fun to have one-on-one time with her, laughing, playing, talking, shopping! She loves to talk to us in her own little language though she does have a few words that she is mastering. Her favorite "word" this weekend was "button" as she pulled up her shirt and anyone else that was sitting close to her..."button" she says, and pokes you like the Pillsbury dough boy! She is so sweet and was quite content with her Auntie and Uncle Daniel. When we are all together with the family she never wants to go to Daniel or her other uncle, she just cries and reaches for mommy so we were very interested to see how she would do for the weekend with Uncle Daniel! By Saturday night she was laying with him on the couch, kissing him and running to him! The milestone merited the camera and a blog post for sure! Daniel and I love being auntie and uncle to our 4 nieces!! We love all of our girls! (the oldest is starting preschool on Monday--wow!)
