Salmon's bring Snow

Jay's sister, Alita, is here to visit from Calgary and as soon as her plane landed, it started to snow. Since we weren't here for the other major snowstorm we had in December, we thought Emmi would like to go explore it while it was fresh and clean.

We got all dressed up, including Em's new thermals, even though we just walked 2 blocks along the park.

We got home, got warm, and did some light reading before going to bed.

We are glad you are here, Alita, even though you brought a snow storm. Maybe you should visit Vancouver next...

Ode to Emmi

Today Emmilene is 20 months old. She is no longer a teen-monther.
It is starting to sound ridiculous when people ask how old she is and I say, "20 months". I am trying to transition myself to saying "a year and a half", lest I become one of those parents who still insist "my child is 38 months last Tuesday".

But today we celebrate the beginning of the 20s.

These are a few pictures from the last month. She has been sick the last couple days, so I haven't taken any recently.

As you see, she loves to help cook, eat humus, dress up, and sit on anything. These last are from our recent adventure at the American Museum of Natural History where we walked in a room full of butterflies.
