A GOOD WEEK!

This past week was the best! I got to see my dad, I met a new friend and his mom, and went for a long walk with Grandma and Grandpa.

Daddy came to visit me all the way from Phoenix last weekend. I spent almost the entire weekend with him...how cool is that?! We visited my GGK, went to dinner with friends, went to Uncle Nick's baseball game but the best part of all was just spending time with my dad! I miss him, but I know he loves me bunches and I love him! Daddy, be sure to thank Nana & Papa for the cute shirts and purse. Love you!

On Monday, I made a new friend. PJ and his mom, Cindy, were visiting family in our area and came by to meet me and my family. I tried impressing PJ with my superhero moves, like headlocks, big hugs, and my favorite, ear tugs, but Grandma kept telling me I had to play nice. Didn't she know I was just trying to show him I could hang with the boys? The woman just doesn't get it! Grandma said PJ wasn't feeling well, so I needed to be gentle. Hmmm, gonna need some extra courses in gentle I think. Anyway, it was good to meet PJ and Cindy. They were headed down to San Diego and then home. I sure hope PJ started feeling better so he could enjoy the rest of the trip. PJ & Cindy, stop by whenever you're in the area...maybe we can have a re-match!

Aunt Jenny and Aunt Jackie went to a running clinic Wednesday evening. Grandma and Grandpa decided to take me along and walk while J & J ran. It was a nice two mile trek for us and I got to watch all the people run by huffing and puffing. I was in my stroller so I was feeling no pain! It was cool, there were little rabbits and squirrels to watch and I got some fresh air...not to mention the much needed exercise for the grandparents!

The rest of the week was pretty calm...or as calm as it can be when you have me looking for mischief! I'll have to give some thought to next week's adventures. Until then, keep smiling...I do!

Hugs & kisses!

Emma

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA!!







Oh boy, we get to celebrate Grandpa's birthday tonight. Grandma is making lasagna, one of his favorites, with yummy garlic bread and salad. It's good that Grandpa doesn't mind me getting a little messy before I give him hugs and kisses, cuz I'll definitely be saucy tonight!!

Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jerry have a real surprise for him....Devil Dogs all the way from the East Coast. Grandpa is always talking about growing up in Maine drinking Moxie and eating Devil Dogs, so they thought it would be the perfect "birthday cake" for him. Won't he be surprised!

I decided to celebrate a little early and had Mom and Grandma take me to the dentist...figured they needed an outing and I needed some extra attention. They're worried about me grinding my teeth together to the point that I occasionally make my mouth bleed, so worry wart Grandma made a dentist appointment this morning. Wouldn't you know, the dentist likes me so much, he managed to open a spot for me this afternoon! Anyway, he put on his funny glasses, put a mirror in my mouth (I tried to chew on it, but he's really fast!), and said my teeth look good. I decided to let them know I was ready to leave and tried to wiggle out of Mom's lap. Don't these women know I don't like holding my mouth open! Good thing the dentist didn't have flavored gloves or I might have had a "tasty treat"! Guess Grandma will be watching now to make sure my teeth are ok. I know she does it cuz she loves me so much, so I occasionally mouth items just to make sure she has something to watch. :-)

Megan and Lil, I'm sending you special Emma thoughts. I want to hear of great improvements...we girls have got to stick together.

Hugs to all!

Emma & Grandpa
