Heaven

In case you start to wonder where I have disappeared to...I just got my nook tonight...

Update

What we have here is a reverse chronological order in case you're wondering. We have Emmy enjoying a delicious bottle before her very first camping trip. It was supposed to be 2 nights but due to a lack of sleep, it ended up being only a one nighter.

We next have some amazingly adorable cupcakes made by Joe himself. Serious skills.

Finally, we have the annually Easter Egg hunt which was, as usual, hurried so that Shadow did not eat all of the hard boiled eggs before we had a chance to find them.

I have been diligently working on Joe's cardigan, my very first, and it is coming along quite nicely although I am having to guess at certain parts of the pattern. Frustrating. Also, Emmy will be having her one yer birthday soon and we are super excited about her present. I will post the details after the big day. Hope you enjoyed the pictorial!

"There are only two mantras, yum and yuck, mine is yum."

I have just discovered that one of my all time favorite authors, Tom Robbins, was born in a town very close to where I now spend my days, Blowing Rock. I was turned on to Tom by my friend, Holly, years ago and have been an avid fan ever since. If you have a soft spot for the bizarre yet optimistic adventures of very well rounded characters, this is your bag of cookies.

Somebody really likes beets

As you can tell, we get really dressed up for Easter Egg dyeing...

Celebrating Spring

After a very long and miserable Winter (which is really probably not over for us yet), we thoroughly enjoyed our first Spring family hike. Just about a quarter mile up the road from our house, we took these pics. Emily was content to just look around and listen to mom and papa dream about the future family camping trips we will be taking.

Standing Proud

Here is video of Emily the first time she stood up by herself. Getting so big!
