Miscellaneous

Here are a few pictures that fell through the cracks and didn't make it on the blog - until now!

These pictures go way back to August of 2012.  Emma was 14 months and just discovering the wonders of bubbles.  I love the concentration on her face as she goes after the bubbles.  I'm not sure she got any of them, but it wasn't for a lack of effort.

Check out these curls!!  Plus, who doesn't like pictures of a smiley sudsy baby?

Emma's helping me tune my guitar.  Remember the mini-mohawk that she sported for the first 14 months of her life?

Emma is turning into a great baker like her mother and a great brownie batter eater like her father.

I can't believe I haven't documented this fun little outing with Emma's little friends.  We had a sledding party at Sarah, Dan, and John's house on March 10th.  Emma was a little hesitant at first but then couldn't get enough.  She even led the charge of the kiddies on the big toboggan.  John, Colin, and Emma are quite the crew!

One of Emma's favorite past times is building and hanging out in couch forts.  She routinely requests that her mother or I "builda foet."

We are almost getting caught up!  Stay tuned for more.

With love from Minneapolis,

Easter (Finally!)

It's only a couple of months late, but here is a recap of our Easter weekend.

We stuck around town for the holiday and hosted my family.  My mom and dad drove up for a long weekend and brought Grandma Marge (my mom's mom) along and as a very special treat, Justin flew in from California for the weekend.  Emma loved having her Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle and Great Grandma (GG) at her disposal. Emma's daycare was closed the Friday before Easter so the crew arrived on Thursday to stay home with her on her day off. 

Saturday night, Grandma Becky, GG, Momma, and Emma colored Easter eggs.

Emma loved walking around in her Grandma's shoes and playing cards with GG.

The Easter Bunny visited our house and left behind a great Easter basket for Emma and also hid a few eggs.  Emma loved exploring her new goods, especially her choo choo train. 

No Easter is complete without an Easter dress and bonnet.  Emma was well equipped with both.

 

It was a fantastic weekend capped off with a fantastic meal complete with ham, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, corn, homemade crescent rolls, and Melissa's famous chocolate chip cheese cake.

The Easter baskets, bonnets, and meal are all fun, but what really made the weekend special was great family.  Melissa and I really enjoyed a wonderful weekend filled with love and great family, and nobody enjoyed having her family around more than Emma.

Happy belated Easter from Minneapolis,
Jason, Melissa, and Emma
