Fun in the Sun

 Hanging out on our porch.

 I got a new phone and cant figure out why these pictures are so small, but if you look closely Emma is petting a 6 day old Choc lab puppy.  The people across the street have 8 (now 2week) old puppies so there will be many more puppy pictures in the future!

 We have a playground about a half mile down the street from our house.  The swings are a fav.

 Playing in the sprinkler in the front yard.

 Playing in the dirt in the backyard.

One day when Emma and I were walking Buster around the block we met Kate.  Emma is 10 days older than Kate and they are new best friends.  We went for a walk with them yesterday and they hugged and held hands the whole time.

Californiaaaaa

 Quinn has been taking her blanket out of her crib now and puts it on the ground and lays on it sucking her thumb.  She pulled it outside the other day and layed on our walkway.

 Bowl of cherries before bedtime.

 Popsicle.

 Playing peek a boo with mama.

Peek a boo!

Sunny San Diego!

Well we made it here.  We have a new small pad complete with white picket fence where Emma and Quinn are sharing a room (sort of, Emma is sharing ours too).  It seems to be sunny and 70s every day here.  Mema already visited and took Emma and Quinn to SeaWorld where she was excited to meet Grover and Abby at Sesame Street Alley.  Abby gave her a big hug, there was a huge line for Elmo so she just waved to him.  We also have been to the beach several times and checked out the San Diego County Fair where Elizabeth and Emma got to ride on an elephant!  Quinn also had her first big bump on her head from falling into a sharp corner and we bought a new car!!  It has been a packed first several weeks.  I will get back on the blog more regularly....start planning visits :)

Emma is Three!

 Emma opening Engines for her birthday in her Thomas PJs.

 It's Salty!

 Off to the Southwick Zoo in Mendon, MA.

 Capybarra?

 In deer forest.  These guys were hungry!

 Traded places.  It was 90 so pink cheeks.

 Petting zoo had llamas behind this fence and then tons of goats and sheep running around.

 Funny llama.

 There was a bird show going on and if you put your hand out you could hold a bird.  She was pretty excited.

 This is the gift she picked out from the giftshop.  A rubber snake..... (and you will see why her hair is wet below).

 Pooped out on the way home from the zoo, napping with her snake.

 Pool time....

 Emma made a mud puddle in our raised garden bed since we havent planted a garden.

 Yep.  Mud.

 And the nice pool has turned to mud as well.

 Emma got a birthday cake at my going away party with coworkers.

And when she thought no one was looking she tried a bite.

 Getting ready for the party.  This was my dress when I was a little girl.

 Top the birthday off with some watermelon!!!  Her favorite.

 Her eyes are scary, but I love the watermelon juice off the chin.

 On to cake....
