A big week for Emily!

The past week has been an exciting one for Emily. She got to go to a Father/Daughter dance with her daddy! (who looked dashing in his Pooh bear neck tie!). The following day she got her ears pierced (along with Auntie Penny!) and mom and dad got to have Emily to ourselves for the afternoon to celebrate her half birthday. We played tennis, goofed off a bit, roamed around Barnes & Noble and stuffed ourselves full of over-priced ice cream! A few days later, Emily welcomed her "newest baby"--her long awaited American Girl doll, Kirsten! How Emily acquired Kirsten is a very fun God story--she could not be more thrilled and has spent every waking moment trying new outfits on her and changing her hair bows!
