Ray & Ashley

Ye Atlanta Dogwood festival came again this year to Piedmont Park. We took Emery to the park and she had a great time. She got to go on a Merry Go Around for the first time ever. She was scared and wanted to make sure we were holding onto her. We also got her hair done at the fair. The look was called Fair Hair and Emery looked great. She got a lot of compliments. Ashley and I also got to enjoy the carnival ourselves go on some rides. We had a great time.

It’s Chinese New Year and we dressed Em B up in her last years chines Outfit. The pants were too big but the shirt fit perfectly. We found some red pants anyways and she was quite festive.

We didn’t do much else this year to celebrate the year of the dragon but Em b always livens up the holiday spirit. Here’s some pics of the little B at school when we dropped her off. She is never that happy so we dot expect big smiles in the morning…otherwise we might be worried!

I counted 41 words! There’s probably more I am forgetting now, but Emery is picking up new words all the time. It’s wonderful to here her. She also calls out to our parents and siblings but I don’t think she can register them with the words so I don’t count them for now in her vocab. From just a pronunciation perspective Emery can say almost all
of the alphabet. She has some trouble with R, G,J,V and X but amazing to here her go through all of them. Up next numbers!

Wow another long stint without touching this blog.  I don’t really have much of an excuse, I am on the computer a lot, my phone has a app that can post to the blog any time yet I still manage to be such a slacker.  My resolution for the blog this year is to post more.  At least once a month if even just a photo or anything.  I am going to try to keep my posts shorter, but more frequent.

Here’s a few great photos from recent events:

Here’s a few photos of us this Christmas:
