Easter and Emma's 2nd Birthday

Emma is ready for Spring!

I picked up these sunglasses for Emma at Target. She was so thrilled with them that I had a hard time getting them off of her for her nap. You'll notice the tilted up head in the pictures... whenever I ask her to smile for the camera, she will tilt her head up and smile. It is really cute!

Cuddling with Larry on a snowy morning

Poor Emma Doris is always trying to snuggle with Larry. She'll drag his bed by the fire and yell, "Larry! Come!" or "Larry! Fire!" She loves to try to boss him around.

Tutu, Flowers, Cookies, and Daddy's Boots

Emma dressed up for Mommy and Daddy and showed off her girly side. She did begin beating Larry with the rose, but he didn't seem to mind:).

Roses that Emma picked out for Mommy last week. She loves to smell them!

Emma had just woken up from a nap to discover that her Aunt Sarah had dropped off the most delicious Valentine cookies. Emma Doris was, of course, tickeled pink!
Emma LOVES to wear our shoes... but one morning, she really made me laugh in her daddy's boots:). She stomped around the kitchen so proud of her self in her daddy's big ol' boots!

Grand Cayman Island

On our way!

Building sand castles with Daddy at Rum Point (where we went when our beach was too windy)

The Turtle Farm

Holding the turtles was really a neat experience. This one kept flapping its flippers:). Emma really enjoyed petting it.

Wow! The water is soo warm!

My neurotic mother made me wear this huge hat all week so I wouldn't get burned!

I had so much fun with my Mormor and my cousins!

A vacation that happens once in a "Blue Moon" (shown below) which is the second full moon of the month. It only happens once in a great while, hence the saying, "Once in a blue moon."

Belly shots for a few who requested:) (19 weeks)

Getting ready to go snorkling (before the stingray bite!)
