Happy 2nd Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!

Hi Everyone;

It was a special day today, Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary. Although, I have been told that they have been together forever, 13 years in fact! Daddy sent Mommy a beautiful bouquet of flowers, they are gorgeous and smell really nice. Gigi helped me pick out a new charm for Mommy's bracelet, it has "Love Doves" on it. Mommy gave me a big kiss and hug, I think she liked it!

It really is amazing how time flies. Mommy and I have been back in Canada for 3 months already, seems hard to believe. Last weekend we celebrated with my cousin Tricia at her baby shower! It was a very pretty shower and she got tons of really nice gifts, an entire truck load. I kept trying to take some of the baby toys, but she always seemed to catch me! I got to hang out and play with my cousins Allie and Erik, it was so much fun. We chased eachother around the hall, we played with my wagon and helped Tricia open her gifts. Erik and I also figured out another game that was lots of fun, walking through our Grandma's legs, it was hilarious...

I have a new show that I really like to watch at night before I go to bed, called "In the Night Garden", with Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy, they are so cute.

Well, that is all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather, I know I sure am!

Love you,

Emmie

Happy Easter 2009 from East Tennessee

Wow, I think I like Easter! I know I love chocolate and those things called "Peeps", they are sweet and chewy.

We had such a wonderful easter, it was so nice to be home and celebrate with all of our friends here in Tennessee. I also loved getting to sleep in my own bed and play with my doggies!


On Saturday we went to an Easter party at Dr.Schetzina's house, she is one of the attendings that works with Daddy. They had a huge Easter egg hunt with all of the kids, this was my first ever egg hunt, once I found one egg I was so excited, I didn't even want to look for more! Some of the kids had baskets that were over flowing with eggs, they were definitely on a mission.

I kept trying to play with the bigger kids but I don't think they wanted me to play baseball with them!



On Easter Sunday we went to church with the Battel family and then had a very yummy dinner at their house.

After dinner we played in the Battel's backyard, they have so many fun things to play with. Oh and guess what, I went up on the slide and down all by myself, I am such a big girl now!
I also got to practice jumping on the trampoline, I can almost do it, I just need to practice a little more!



I have decided that I really like sitting on the "potty", it is so neat, I sat on it while Ella was in the bathroom, I was just hanging out with her, keeping her company.


Here is a picture and video of me on Easter morning, the Easter bunny left me a bunch of hidden eggs in the house, I still can't believe it, eggs just for me!
Well that is all for now, Mommy and I have to fly back to Canada tonight and we have tons to do today so we better get moving!

Take care and hope to see everyone soon,

Family Vacation 2009 - Sunny, hot, Panama

Hi Everyone, we are back from our wonderful family vacation. Mommy and Daddy took me to another exotic location, Panama! It was super hot and sunny every day, I loved it. Plus, we had our very own pool that I could swim in whenever I wanted, it was great.

I was so much fun to get to spend time with all of my many cousins, including Erik and Elsa. I liked to feed Elsa her bottle, and Erik liked to push me around in a stroller, all through the house!

We did tons of really neat things while we were there, we played in the sand at the beach, we swam and jumped in the pool, we saw the Panama Canal, we saw some waterfalls and went walking through the jungle....we tooked tons of pictures.

So on that note, take a look below at just a small glimpse of our awesome family vacation!

Every morning Erik, Elsa and I would walk all through the house with just our diapers on and make tons of noise till everyone got up!

One night at dinner, I lent my stroller to Elsa so she could have a little snooze!

For Gail's birthday they got a Pinata, it was so neat, but Gail was crazy with the stick, she almost knocked out a couple of people....lol!

Elsa and I were having a blast one day, swinging towards eachother, we couldn't stop laughing!

One day Gigi, Mommy and Daddy and I had to make the crazy trip into downtown Panama city so we could get a new passport for me at the Canadian Embassy, that's right a new, turns out my passport expired! The Embassy was located in the World Trade Center, it wasn't quite what we expected but it was neat. That same day we decided to go to the Panama Canal, you can't go to Panama and not see the canal!

Unlce Ryan and I like to be funny together, making noises with our lips!!!

I really liked the waves in the ocean, they would almost tip me right over, so cool!

Uncle Ryan and Daddy thought it was funny to bury my leg in the sand, silly boys!

Yes, that is me trying to drink a Panamanian beer, it was nice and cold but don't worry it wasn't open!

We went for a hike in the jungle one day, it was spectacular!

Now what do you think, am I cute or what! This is Mommy and Daddy's favorite picture of me.

Well, that is all for now. I hope everyone is having a wonderul Easter weekend!

Mommy and I are back in Tennessee with Daddy and the dogs, it is great, I'll update the blog once Easter is all over!

Love y'all,

Emmie
