Parties

We went to a couple of festivities recently.  The first was a birthday party for a friend out in Long Island.  We had to take the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road, for those of you not fluent in 'NewYorkese') which was farther than Emmilene or I had ever been in LI.

Emmilene was a hit with her lucky Toucan outfit.  She showed some of her dance moves with the girls.


We hitched a ride on the way home and Emmi was happy as long as she could stare at dad.


The next party we went to was a goodbye party to our friends Danny and Diana who are going to Utah for school.  It was a farewell/Olympic Opening Ceremony party, although the only part I really got to watch was the boring stuff, as seen below. 
(No offense to anyone from Belarus).


We ended the night with sparklers, which was the first many of these New Yorkers had ever seen them.  It was comical as some of the scared kids were yelling "You're going to burn the house down!"  
Not everyone appreciated the fireworks...

We will miss you Diana and Danny!

Party on, dude!

Isn't it funny how expressive they become so early. She is so much fun! Are you guys getting any sleep now? I forgot to ask yesterday how feedings are going. Hopefully it is much better.
