Blessed

I know that I say it time and time again, but I just love this little girl. Even though she has made a recent habit of waking up at 5:30am (extra time to cuddle, right, RIGHT?). As always we jammed way too much in to the weekend, but hey, we really like fun. On Saturday morning we went to the art museum to the kids section (studio play) and EC had an AMAZING time. She even walked around the museum a bit (with "museum hands" meaning she had to hold her hands together-she did great but insisted we do the same. We looked like we were all praying, and I kind of was praying that she wouldn't touch anything!). The then checked out a new ice cream place where they freeze your ice cream on the spot with nitrous oxide-pretty darn cool, no pun intended. We then celebrated Danny's 21st birthday with family Saturday evening. EC hung out with Nana Sunday morning so I could get some housework done, and Chris could get his school work done (have I told you how ready I am for Chris' grad school classes to be over? 4 days a week night class may drive me completely crazy...I know its no picnic for him either!). Sunday afternoon we spent time at Coe Lake and the park and quality time with the hose. Oh, and since I didn't post on Monday-EC is back in gymnatics. It is a new class, and she is such a super star. None of the other kids have taken classes before, so were a little shy and scared. Emmy volunteered to go first for everything and did a rockstar job. She is getting crazy good and everything! She can do the balance beam forward and backward pretty much by herself, front roll, assisted backroll, handstand unassisted with the mat and can hold herself on the bar forever! She also loved doing assisted flips, both forward and backward, on the bar. I think that is her favorite. Such a fun weekend, great weather, can't wait to do it again!

Who gave the 2 year old a hose? I wish you could have heard the laugh she got from this!

What is not to love here?

Ponytail? Yes please!
