My little Em

Emery stayed with me all weekend since Kevin & Jenn had so many commitments. She would have lived in the nursery if not with me. What fun we had! She talks CONSTANTLY! I get a running commentary on everything we do. She does some of the cutest things now. She wants to pray before meals. Her prayer is very quiet and goes something like this: "Jesus, food. Mommy. Daddy. Kara. Nyaya. Tiffy. JoJo. Papa Dennis. Gamma. Amen." Then she wants me to pray too!

When she hears something worth really listening to she makes a little gasp, her eyes pop wide open in surprise and she holds her had up to her ear and says, "Wisten!" We heard the ice cream man briefly so we went chasing after him in the stroller. She cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Ice ceam. Are you?" No luck finding him. But we found a pine cone (which she calls a pineapple or applepineone) and a cute pet rabbit. So our search was not entirely in vain, and very low cal!

At church on Sunday we sang happy birthday to Teresa - Pastor Eric's wife. When I went to get Em she said, "cake?!". Lynette told me she'd been asking for cake ever since she heard us sing happy birthday!
