Some more pic's from my dad's house

My dad has these huge adirondack chairs overlooking Walnut Creek. Emmeline thought it was so much fun to be sitting in them on her own.   

Chillin with dad and Dori

Emmeline and I have been hanging out with my dad and Dori the last couple of days. It has been so great to just relax and enjoy the cool, Erie summer days. We've been spending as much time outside as possible. 
Here is just a side glance of Dori while she was playing with Emme. 
Thanks dad for such a nice little vacation. We have loved relaxing and just hanging out with you! 

Blogging from Erie

Emmeline and I will be blogging from PA for a little while. We came to visit for a week or so and to spend some quality time with the family. The weather has been so great and we can't wait to get some beach pictures.
We posed Emmeline on the 2nd hole at Lakeshore - right by Craig's parent's house. I hope to get one each year to see how she grows. I know Craig is just dying to buy her her first golf club! We miss you hunny and wish you could have stayed in PA with us!!!!

All of a sudden Emmeline has lost her newborn baby face. Her features are moving towards a toddler look. Wow - it goes fast! 

Emmeline and Aubrey

Craig's good friend Ryan and his wife Megan came to visit this past weekend. They have a beautiful little girl, Aubrey. She is about 3 months younger than Emmeline. We sat them down on our bed while we got their bath ready - here is what happened. 

Emmeline gives Aubrey a little love pat on the shoulder just to let her know everything is ok. 
Emmeline's little love pat quickly becomes a pinch and poor, little, innocent Aubrey is in tears. 

I guess Emmeline feels bad - or just a little old Italian guilt kicks in and she tried to hand off her paci. Because a paci makes anything better. 

Watermelon Love

This past weekend we found out that Emmeline absolutely LOVES watermelon.  I gave her a quick bite of mine and she went crazy for it so I gave her a piece to hold on her own and she quickly gobbled that up and then cried when it was all gone.
I was amazed - she isn't the most interested eater so this was a surprise and a complete delight. It was soo cute to watch her until we took a piece away and then it was like Ollie with the artichoke leaves. She was seriously mad. I took a quick video and will post soon. 

Emmeline's New Swing

Craig attached this swing to the garage so that Emmeline could have a little outdoor fun. 
She loves her new swing. It really makes her smile and forget about all the teething pain she's currently in.
