Preschool

Emma started preschool in September and has been loving it. She goes two days a week for two and a half hours. She loves her friends there and everything that she is learning. It is amazing to watch her progress. Her teacher sent home a CD with pictures throughout the year so I thought I'd post some, mostly for Grandmas and Grandpas. There's a ton of pictures here, so feel free to skim. (I tried to post only pictures of Emma to avoid putting pictures of other people's children due to privacy issues, etc.)
I think this one was taken on the first day of school. And I can't figure out how to turn it.

Here's Halloween.

Emma loves glue. Seriously.

Learning about machines.

Making cookies.

Painting with pudding?

On a field trip to the pet store.

Well, that's that.

Bathrooms, Black eyes, & Binkies

I finally bought a cable for our camera! Yeah! I know that you are all so excited about that. Sorry that you had to look at the same thing everytime you open your homepage (I know that we are everyone's homepage...right?) Anyway, here are some long over due pictures. First of all, remember way back in the day when we started to redo our bathroom? Well, it's done now. Mostly. Like the rest of our main floor, we have not touched the flooring. But, here are some pictures of that.
Here is the best before picture I've got. I really wish I had one of the sink though. It was wall mounted and maybe, 18" square. Really small, and gross. Also, the shower head sprayed straight down, almost backwards, there was no plumbing up the wall. Or electricity. We had a light, but no outlets. (Bear in mind that this is after I had already started demo.)

And the after... (pretty much the same view.)

Forgive the personal items...

Since these pictures, we have had an outlet installed as well as the missing light blub. P.S. Notice the TP on the shelf? Still haven't put up the holder. It's sitting right next to it. I lost the mounting hardware. And I'm lazy.

So, that's that. I love it. Next up, our new master closet! Stay tuned.
So, a couple of weeks ago, we had the Bishop and his wife over for dinner. Emma was wrestling on the floor with the dog and hit her head (eye) on the pillar in the living room (I think right on the corner of the molding). She had a really nice shiner for over a week. I only took this one picture but should've taken more. Especially when it turned that sickly shade of green.

And then this one just because I like it. I know, I need to get rid of the pacifier. There comes a time in everyone's life... but his boss hasn't said anything, so we'll let him have it. He sleeps so much better with it.
