There is still no cure for the common birthday.

Today we went to see Sam for his 40th Birthday party! We had a lot of fun!

After the party we went to visit Michelle & Tony's and Emily played with Laura! She had so much fun! Jim's parents were there and they had a good time too!

Pumpkin Picking...Take 1!

Jim took off of work and we went Pumpkin Picking.


We went to the same place as we went last year! You remember the one...end of the Earth and make a left! (Check out THAT journal entry!)

Anyway, Emily got her own pumpkin that we are going to decorate for her! We all had so much fun! I just *love* this sign!

Tickle Me...

Emily just *loves* Elmo.

So, we surprised her with a brand new Tickle Me Elmo! She loves him! She's not too good at tickling him yet, but we can do it for her.

Of course, she tries to pick him up and hug him while he's laughing.

15 Month Doctor's Appointment

Today I went to pick up Jim at work and we went to Emily's doctor appointment. She had to get 2 shots...and did not like them!

The Doctor said that growth is right on target and everything looks good!

The Proof Is In The Pudding!

Emily tried chocolate pudding for the first time and....she didn't like it! Obviously, she doesn't get that from me.. Oh well...

The Emperor's New Shoes...

Since Emily is now officially walking, today we took her to Stride Rite to get her first pair of shoes.


Since she is still using crawling as her "quick" mode of transportation, we went with a pair of Stage 2 shoes. They are for walking and crawling. She looks so cute in them!

At first she wasn't sure what to do with them, but quickly caught on!
