Fall 2011 Update

Hello Friends!

Just checking in quickly to tell you a little bit about fall so far. First, let's start with a song I learned in preschool about fall. It goes to the tune of Oh When the Saints Go Marching In. ;)
Oh when the leaves
Are falling down.
Oh when the leaves are falling down.
We know it must be Autumn
When the leaves are falling down.
Lovely song, huh?? I sure do love singing the songs I sing in preschool! Preschool has been lots of fun so far! I really enjoyed our visit from Johnny Appleseed and learned LOTS about apples and last week the firemen came to talk with us. We got to watch them put on their firesuits so we could see that it's just a regular fireman in there, so we are never scared. We also got to look at their BIG firetruck!
Also this fall, we have had two big birthdays to celebrate. Gran's birthday was in September and we had fun helping her celebrate here at our house. Next up was Daddy's birthday. Connor and I bought him some Legos! I can't WAIT to start building lots of Lego creations with Daddy!
We have also been traveling a bunch. At the end of September we traveled to St. Louis to stay with Andrew and Baron and their parents Dan and Dena. Next, we visited Charlotte, NC to visit Eric and Zach and their parents Dana and Roy. We flew on an AIRPLANE to get to Charlotte, which I loved very much. Also?? I reaaaalllly loved hanging out with Eric. He is a big Kindergartner and he was so much fun. I liked hugging him. A lot. I also sneaked in a few kisses, even though kisses spread germs and you should only just hug. But I just couldn't help myself, Eric was SO much fun. And older. He's a Kindergartner, you know. That's kinda a big deal, people. ;)
Enjoy the pictures!!
Love, Emmy

Loooove dressing up. :)

Celebrating Gran's birthday and helping her open gifts. Mommy forgot to tape us singing, Silly Mommy!!

Coloring with Grandpa, and also a good show of how my skirt is just tooo-ooo big. See how it's falling down in the back? Good grief. I should really stop being such a picky eater and put some meat on my bones, huh??

Look! I'm a witch! (Been watching parts of Wizard of Oz on YouTube with Mommy lately.)

"Oh boy...." says Mommy. ;)

Happy #35 to my Daddy!!

I love him bunches!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Days before Daddy's birthday, we did a bit of a work-out. Wanted to make sure he was strong enough to handle 35. Looks like he's strong enough here!

Silly Daddy!!

Here is our crew in Charlotte. The Daddys went to the race and we went to.....where else?? Chick Fil A!! YAY!!

Just arrived at our favorite Charlotte Pumpkin Patch! Mommy is searching for pics of our first visit to this patch, in October 2009. THAT trip was RIGHT before Mommy and Daddy found out Connor would be joining our family!

Hanging with Eric, the Older Boy. ;)

Up in the tractor with Eric and Zach.

Cheese!!

Mine and Daddy's new favorite game. He says, "Dump!" and he dumps me over backwards! LOVE it!!

Me and my bro.

At the GREAT Charlotte Museum called "Discovery Place." Love the water in this picture!

I really had fun at Discovery Place. Note about this picture: see all the clear plastic tubes?? I built that. Neat, huh??

Miss Dana is the most creative Mommy EVER. She bought these neat Halloween Houses for us to build. It was SO much fun people. So much fun!!

Look!! The finished product! Loved it!!
North Carolina was so much fun. I wish I had pictures from St. Louis to share, as well, but Mommy didn't get the camera out much while we were there! :( Boooo!! I hope you enjoyed alllllllll of these pics we DO have, though!! Happy Fall!!

Oh, WAIT! Here is a quick video of me singing Happy Birthday to my Daddy! I love you! Also, to see last year's video of sorta the same thing, go here! :)
