Emma. . in Pictures

All dressed up for a tea party with Claire and Alli Baker. It was a huge success, complete with lemonade, mini-muffins, fruit salad, and sliced cucumbers. And even party games!
Summer Fun watching Isaac play baseball!!

What a beautiful bride!!!!!! (But not for awhile missy. . . )

Back in Vienna, having a flashlight Easter Egg Hunt. It was great fun, even though initially the idea of setting a bunch of little kids free in the dark with flashlights looking for candy sounds like asking for trouble. You even met. . .

Happy Hoppy Easter!!!

Baseball Games and Tea Parties

The Warriors

Record: 2-1

(as of the writing of this post)

Isaac is having a fabulous time playing baseball. Much to our chagrin. . . he likes it more than soccer. Ouch. Still, the coach is wonderful and kind and besides melting while watching him play, we love it.

The Fan Club.

We can be very noisy and Isaac loved it. He hit a triple this game and I'm pretty sure it was because of my "Hit it hard! Hit it level! Hit it hard, hit it level and run like the devil!" Not sure the devil can actually run or that I should encourage devilish behavior. But, hey a triple is a triple. Way to go IKE!!!

Pizza Cafe

Mediocre Pizza+Cheap+Kid-Accessible Buffet within Parental Eyesight=Favorite Place in Pinehurst, NC.

TEA PARTY!!!!!! (not that kind, Glenn Beck was not invited)

Lucy made the invitations for the neighbors. Grandma supplied the costume jewelry. I made the mini-muffins, fruit salad, and stylishly sliced cucumbers. The lemonade was a group project. It was a roaring social success.

This picture doesn't really capture it, but you walked into the door one night trying to get to the bathroom and it left quite a mark. It was really swollen and after this picture it started to change colors. It was quite the eyeshadow job.

Party at the Pizza Cafe. This is our favorite place down here with Lulu. All you can eat pizza? Perfect.

Tea Party with the Baker girls. You were so excited! You colored some invitations. Isaac did the menu, and I made the mini-muffins, the lemonade, fruit salad, and cut some very fancy cucumber slices. Everyone dressed up and had a really wonderful time. It is so wonderful to live next door to these great girls!

We had a great time at the Malcolm Blue Farm Bluegrass Festival. Facepaint for a buck! And for 3 dollars you each got unlimited jumping on the moonbounce. And we got to watch these awesome border collies do their cool herding tricks. You were asleep in the car before we got out of the parking lot. That is a sure sign of success.
