Ellie and Emmy News Updates

I know it's blasphemy to update the blog without a picture, but oh well...

The Nuk Fairy - Ellie officially gave up her nuk. She put them underneath her bed and said aloud that the nuk fairy could come for them. The nuk fairy came and took them to all the other babies of the world who need them. The Nuk Fairy left a pretty tinkerbell doll and dress-up clothes (so Ellie could match). Ellie fell asleep immediately, but that probably has more to do with being worn out from playing with her Mama, Aunt Annie, and Uncle Terry. She has since done very well and we're happily nuk free for Ellie!

Emmy Has Teeth - Two of them to be exact. They're both coming in the bottom for her. It hurts a great deal, but she's being a little trooper about it.

Ellie's First Dentist Visit - She was a great girl for the dentist and has 20 teeth.

Emmy is Eating - Emmy is now able to manuever puffs and cheerios to her mouth. She's a great eater.

Emmy is Mobile - Not in the traditional sense of crawling, but through some kind of higher mathematics, she is able to roll and shift in various directions to get where she wants to go!

We'll do our best to get more pictures... and hula dancing... soon :)

Say "Hi"

On Sunday the girls were just wiped out from the previous two days, but that didn't stop us from doing some painting, playing in the sand, and of course a little hula dancing!


Here are some cute vids from the day!

Happy 4th of July!

On the 4th of July we went to the Brookfield parade, and then went to Lori's family reunion at Scott and Donna's house. Here's a good pic from the parade of Uncle Terry with Lori's cousin's Luke and Joey and of course Ellie.

Zoo, Beach, Ski Show & Fireworks!

On Friday, we went to the Zoo in the morning, and then we went to Little Muskego Lake to play on the beach, watch Uncle Terry's ski show, and we let the girls stay awake really late to watch the fireworks. Even Emily managed to stay awake and to enjoy the fireworks!

Uncle Terry is in there somewhere!

And finally... Let's Dance!

Swimming!

It wouldn't be summer if the girls weren't having a blast at the pool!

Could they get any cuter?

Yes they can!

Really cute pictues of the girls with Lori, Patti, and Bapa!

And then we have Emily... sucking on her foot. Ah, to be young and limber :)

Carla's Baby Shower

Here's a cute picture of Ellie and Ella from Carla's Baby Shower.

We also stayed at a hotel that had a fun kids pool. Here's Emily with Dada thinking it's hilarious to have water shooting out from underneath her. I my defense, Emily had a lot of fun too :)
