A Few of Our Favorite Things

Finally a little down time to catch up on the blog - I'm determined to post all of 2011 before the New Year. So get ready for several blog post in the next few days...And I know I am going to regret getting out of order when I ever get to turning our blog into a book, but I thought I would start with a few of our favorite things right now - 

"Right Heres" (aka Pony Tails) - Emalyn hair has grown much faster than Maddies - she definitely has Chris' hair and Maddie has mine. Sweet Maddie did not really wear her first pony tail until camp this summer, not that we couldn't have gotten it up in one sooner, it just was such a stretch to get in all in the ponytail that it would not stay up. Well Emalyn has learned that her hair does fit actually stays up in a pony tail. So she walks around the house saying "right here mama; right here" and points to the back of her head.

You will also learn Emalyn's favorite word right now! :)

Rain Boots - I got tired of tying and untying Emalyn's shoes (I am remembering now why I bought velcro shoes for Maddie everytime) so I decided it was time to order her a pair of rainboots. And Miss Maddie had worn holes in her, so they both got a new pair (and matching, even better).

The first time I put them on Emalyn's feet, she followed me into my room saying "pretty shoes momma. "

Matching outfits - Pretty much since Emalyn was born Maddie has been all about them matching - so every night, Maddie's pjs choice revolves around what pjs Emalyn is wearing. When all the matching ones are dirty, Maddie makes sure they are at least coordinating. And now Emalyn has gotten on board and as I am getting her dressed in the morning, I usually hear her say "match sissy" in her sweet little voice. 

This picture was from our session with photographer Zach Goodyear - which was was one of my favorite things we did this year! Here is the link for the rest of the pictures: http://zachgoodyear.zenfolio.com/p587649194. 

 Painted Cupcake moved to Green Hills this summer and has quickly become our favorite spot to go get a treat!

We even went a couple of weeks ago after I picked up Maddie & her sweet friend Caroline from dance. Picture quality is not great - but captures the moment!

Now onto a blog about Maddie's birthday! Can't believe I am this far behind!
