Happy Ween!

Happy Halloween from Emma the Honey Bee! Or, "happy ween" as she told Ben today (who makes the most adorable lion!) Emma makes the cutest little bee we've ever seen, although we're not sure how much she likes to wear her costume. After we transform her into a bee, she is happy to buzz around the house. But when it comes time to pose for a Halloween picture- not so much. We'll keep trying. It was easier last year when we could just stick her in a pumpkin and take a picture. Now that she's mobile, we've got to learn to take speed pictures. Here are some pictures of our little honey.

Riding Bikes!

We are now the proud owners of a Chariot bike trailer. We can now go on family bike rides with Emma riding along safely behind in her own little "bike." She loves it already, and we've ridden more than 30 miles together so far. Our favorite thing to do is park the car at a bike trail and ride about 5 miles down to David's grandparent's house for a pit stop (and sometimes cookies!). Then, we hop back on the bikes for the ride home. It's fun- and if Emma is still awake when we reach the car again, she's asleep by the time we hit the highway. There is so much to see on a bike!

We also ride around our neighborhood, and to the big park near our house to feed the ducks. Soon we plan to ride around White Rock Lake. Maybe next year we'll ride in the Witchita Falls "Hotter than Hell".........?? We shall see.

Emma at School

Emma is currently going to her school 5 days a week now, and it's been quite an adjustment! She seems to be doing very well, and doesn't even cry anymore when Mommy drops her off! We had Emma's parent/teacher conference this week and her teacher had many fabulous things to say about her and how brilliant she is. :)

Here are some pictures of her in her classroom and with some of the other kids.

More Pictures!

Here are some more cute pictures of Emma!

Her hair is getting longer, and Mommy doesn't know what to do with it yet. It's not long enough for pigtails, so we usually just put a barette in it- but it still sticks out on the sides. And when it's wet, look out!

She is really attached to this lamb-- "Lambie." She likes to give it hugs.
