Scott, Dee, Emily and Owen Kohler: May 2009

This is our new fave Emmy picture:)

Here's Emily discovering puddles, which she calls "tubbies"....

Why have you not showed me these before?!

This picture is mild, but there was some real splashing and stomping going on:)

Ol' Blue Eyes- seriously, he just kills me:)

Sucking on any available fingers- his, Daddy's, mine...

Classic Emily

I love a baby in boots...

Nana Kohler got this dress for Emmy in Disney World

when we were there last Feb and it looks so precious on her!

Sibling Kisses

Emily loves to snuggle at certain times- which we don't like at all:)....

This was a very deliberate learning day- I taught Emily how to husk corn- then she carried the husks out to the compost in a bucket and we learned about the compost turning into dirt for the garden- not that I've used it for that yet...:) It was really cool that she's old enough now to understand so much!

Daddy and Oboe playing on the guitar

Emily visiting some puppies (our friend Shirley just got them) near our house- she was loving them/ scared of them- it was pretty cute:)

Looking dapper out for a walk- love this vest from Mama K

Emily feeding her baby in her room- so cute

I LOVE SPRING!- we love to go outside and play:)

Picnic time

Andrea came to visit recently- Emily calls her "Annie"

This hairband is adorable, but she doesn't keep it in for very long:)

This was a rare thing- Emily was so grggy after a nap that she let Daddy feed her a sippy cup

At Nana and Grandpa's in Halifax for the week of May 17th:

Holding hands:)

Lovins- how different they look to me here!

Cuddles with Papa

Nakeds

Unlce Graeme, whom Emily loves, came to visit!

We also went to visit at Aunt Pat's and got to see Cheryl and Nanny W!
Emily terrorized the cat and Owen was afraid of Cheryl!

Sweet Abigail!
We also went to visit Jen and Graeme and the kids
which was so fun- Emily played with them in their backyard:)

Jen and Blue Eyes

Emily and I playing outside. I was showing her how to put flowers in her hair...

so she tried it...

and put then in her ear!:) hehe

My Owey Joey

Yummy Mummy Fingers

What a face:) When her hair's like this it reminds me of my baby pics a little.

Playing on the floor

Feeding bear while wearing one mitton.

Let me explain these next few pic- Emily has a letter learning video which she watches all the time and the main character is a toddler-aged frog named Tad. She talks about Tad all the time, so recently she said "Mommy- draw-Tad" so I drew a vague likeness of Tad and the other main character of the show- Proff Quigley (she calls him Piggy cuz she can't pronounce it:) on a piece of paper. Well this paper hasn't left her side for 3 days now. She feeds Tad- yes, the drawing- she 'chases' Tad, she looks lovingly at Tad and it is hilarious.

Here she is kissing Tad,

hugging Tad,

Taking Tad for a walk...

and covering him with a blankie.
(See the video at the bottom- it's a riot:)

Smelling the flowers in our garden.

I'm very thankful for the flowers that the pastors before us planted in the garden, they come out on their own every year and they are gorgeous! I've been working to clear out all the weeds and am now putting potting soil in which looks awesome in contrast to the bright flowers!
(you can see where the dark soil ends is where I still need to do)

Here's Emmy and the other half of the garden

Owen's hair was past a mo-hawk and into the crazy scientist stage- so the three of us went to get his hair cut here in McAdam one morning- it was so fun and looks awesome, but I felt sad:(

My little boy looks so handsome:) and a little bit older now:(

Another glimpse of my life at home with the babies- folding laundry, feeding Emily's drawing and holding Owen up with my leg...PS- my bun is not huge- it's just laundry behind me:) hehe
