As a child, summertime was my FAVORITE time of year (isn't it everybody's?)! The warmth of the air, the smells (one of my favorite smells of summertime is when the rain hits the hot pavement!), the green foliage, the length of daytime...I could go on and on! We are in MI for a few weeks on vacation, and it is definitely summertime! We just got in yesterday evening, and we've already been swimming. Emma likes to jump off of the diving board and swim to the ladder. This is in 12 feet of water! August seems to enjoy relaxing outside, he looks around at all of the new sights and sounds.
The kids did a fabulous job traveling yesterday. Emma really seemed to enjoy the plane ride(s) and while seated, she started at the wording on the back of seat in front of her. It said "Flotation device underneath seat". She looked at the word seat and started to sound it out. David said "let's sound that word out...the first letter is s...what sound does that letter make?". Emma said "sssssssssssseat!" She read the word!
Looking forward to almost 3 weeks of relaxation and awesome weather in MI. Stay tuned for updates and posts!

Emma-isms
Emma is SO cute today. She has said some really adorable things that I have to write down!
She has pretty much given her naps up, but we make her lay down everyday to rest and have some quite time. Sometimes it works, but most times it doesn't. Today she came out of her room after laying down and said:
"Mommy, I don't have anymore yawns."
It is raining this afternoon so I set her up with her new movie, Cars (for making good choices, aka having good behavior). I was doing some work in the office and Emma called for me. I went out to the living room and she said:
"Are the birds eating the rain?"
A few weeks ago, I volunteered in her classroom at preschool. They went around at circle time telling everybody what they had for breakfast. When they got to Emma, she said she had french toast. Her teacher asked if August had french toast too, and she said:
"No, he had breastmilk".
So innocent and honest!
Leaving you w/ some pics of her talking on the phone w/ Mimi and Papa. They went back to MI for the summer and she misses them!
