Frog Fest 2008

This year we attended Frog Fest 2008. Since we are new to the area and I come from parts where the celebration of Frogs is not the norm I did not know what to expect. What was it that the locals find appealing about frogs that would cause them to hold a whole festival in […]

Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut!

Emma is quite the comedian. She really has a good sense of humor for a child of her age. Here she is trying to make us laugh wearing Mrs. Potato Head’s glasses. If that doesn’t make you smile I don’t know what will.

Diapers! We don’t need no stinking diapers!

Emma has been doing really good about using the toilet to poop for about a month now. As a result, Elena has allowed Emma to wear “big girl underwear”. Although she has had a few “pee” accidents, Emma seems determined to get it right and will run to the toilet whenever she has to go. […]
