So Emmers and i made it safely back to PA. The picture above is from months ago but i found it on our old camera that we don't really use since the new one (but i'm using it now cause brad took the good one with him) and thought it was a nice trip down memory lane. Anywho i don't have much time, but just wanted to post some pics for the family and give you a quick update. Still no knee crawling but Emma gets around just fine and as you will see gets into EVERYTHING. I love it though, and we're having fun. I'll try and post a blog for Brad who is on a dig in Jordan. He's emailed some pics so i'll try and get those up when i get a spare moment.
Getting acquainted. Emma loves the dog (actually i'm finding she likes any dog, even if it's madly barking at her and would likely eat her if it got a chance)...from a distance or at least on her terms. The dog could care less about her except when she thinks she has food or when my mom is giving the baby attention. The cat doesn't want to be bothered and is quite vocal about emma leaving her alone, luckily emma doesn't care about her and only has eyes for the dog.
it's been so fun watching my dad interact with emma. she's always making him laugh. if you look closely at the picture dad's face is getting red from laughing at Emma who was riding his knee like it was a pony. For the those of you who know my father very well it has been most enjoyable watching him get red like a cherry as he does his wheezy laugh and wipes tears away from his eyes. i love you dad!
obviously they have become the best of friends

she's obsessed with pulling paper out of the recycle basket. She's being distracted by it while i write this post
This one was just last night. She helped grandpa wash the dishes after dinner and got incredibly wet doing it. She has a measuring spoon she's holding and she would scoop water up and sip it out of the spoon. Doesn't she look like Ben in this photo?
Emma and i celebrating mothers day
Is this not the cutest sundress? Grandma picked it out and Grandpa the shoes.
*just a side note, i always have her arms and legs covered because if i don't her eczema flairs up and she gets rashes all over...just in case anyone was wondering;)
We love you all and miss our family and friends back in UT, but i'm sure we'll all be surprised how fast the weeks will fly by. xoxo

such a doll baby. and as far as the excema goes, both my kids had/have it, so I feel your pain... tell emma to hang in there, it usually goes away within a couple years!
Hi Chels! Good to hear from you and get an update. When I saw the picture of your dad laughing I immediately thought about how he'd start laughing like that then turn red then start to cry. Good to know that some things don't change. You're mom and dad are loving having you there and Emma is as cute as ever. love ya,
S.
Aaron laughed at Emma in her new bathrob apparently he thought that was pretty funny. Crazy how big they get! Tell you parents hi.
Hey!! Oh my GOSH!!! I cannot believe how big she is getting. She doesn't look like a baby anymore. She is all grown up. And Brynlee has that same white dress!! I LOVE it!! When are you heading back to UT??? I am going home for a visit, so I am just wondering if by chance you might be there??
:( I miss you guys. Boo!! Come home.
she is so adorable. i love that picture of her and your dad looking at eachother. priceless
Those shoes are adorable!
Hey Chels,
I was thinking I'd see what you are up to these days. I hope you're enjoying your time with your family while Brad is away. Ah how I know your plight. . . Actually Joe's been able to work from the office for a while now, which has really been a treat. Anyway, I'm going to email you right now!
