"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Emily is 18 months old!! Where has the time gone???

So, last week our sweet Emily turned 18 months old. I can't believe she's already so big, it seems like she was born only a few months ago. In some ways it makes me so sad that she's growing up, but in other ways, I'm so excited for her and all the fun things that she has to look forward to. She started nursery two Sundays ago and she did pretty well. It won't be too long before her favorite words are "MINE!!" and "NO!!!".


I thought it would be fun to share some fun facts about our little "Lou Lou".

Her favorite things are:

*her "bub" (favorite blanket) and her monkey

*PB&J (only if she can use a fork), chicken nuggets with dip, cheetos, grapes, cereal, chocolate chips, M&Ms, doritos, bananas, whipped yogurt, and ice cream

*being outside...swinging, kicking her ball, going for walks, playing with dad

*Grandpa Meredith and Grandpa Sant

*Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

*DANCING!!!!

*reading books

*Bigfoot...our neighbors big black dog

Things she doesn't like very much are:

*being told "No!"

*sitting down to eat

*coming inside

*being away from Mom

*being chased by Shadow (Grandma and Granda's kitty)
