oreo- oooooohhooooooooooo- actually Domino-

Daddy watched Emmy... let's just say she loved it :)

little ghosty! oooooooooooooooooooooo.

where are the ghost's lips?

and look at her little tan line- so cute!

she is so fun.

NATURE! at it's Dominican finest...

usually I DESPISE when my daughter's hairbows somehow end up on our rotweilers collar...

our fun little crab- we found on the way to campus.

a passion fruit flower- aren't they cool? It looks like it belongs in a Dr. Suess book.

the same little crab- don't you love it's colors?

the sad news is that he ran under a car's tire right after this- so I'm glad that I caught his last moments on film :)

random

my naturally blonde hair- I love the sun!

Emmy with her very sweet friend Avery :)

Litte cutie love girl.

Emmy and Shane= best friends!

Emmy has a friend named Shane- they live kiddie corner underneath us- she likes to:
watch him from our balcony...

and pat him on the head...

and stare lovingly at him...

she is older- but obviously significantly smaller- they are such cute little friends :)

fun at the Jenkins...

Jason LOVED Avery's little piano- he definately enjoyed it more than Emmy did.

here they are outside of the JEnkins house- Emmy likes to sit sideways and cool on Dave- she is so funny- also I continue to be in LOVE with her curls.

the Jenkins brought their furry friends with them from the US- Emmy has an OBSESSION with dogs right now-

it was so nice because these are healthy dogs and they love kids Emmy had a great time- I remained nervous- but the only thing that happened was the dog running away from Emmy because she was VERY excited about her petting :)

Conference fun...

ok-- so, Emmy doesn't watch TV- first because I didn't let her- but lately I've given her opportunities and she will NOT watch it- not even Barney... but when the intermediate hymn came on during conference today she ran over to the computer and proceeded to dance and try to conduct the song!

what a ham- this is what Emmy did during conference.

so cute!

I obviously loved this!

Misc. nonsense!

yes- this pic is for real and it is dedicated to my brothers Dan, Dave, Josh- my father and my loving husband.

new halloween toes-

One of Dave's favorite things here on the island.

my beautiful island

Emmy LOVES her guavas-

so cute-

she really gets into them...

messy messy!

Guavas= LOVE!

Emmy kissing her baby :)

I know that these are out of focus- but the little expressions were so darling!

kissing her baby

more kissing!

MORE kissing- her favorite thing and look at her little orange halloween toes :)

A side view of the kiss- yes they are lickery!

fun Emmy moments :)

little silly!

fresh out of the shower- what fun times!

I love her hair- she looks like a mad scientist...

wow- I am so angry!

Don't worry- because Emmy looked so so cute today and we even matched- I took many
many pictures and then realized that I had forgotten to put in the memory card- therefore;
you have one ugly pic of my scary half eye opened baby girl- and you can see where her
piggie tail USED to be :)

scrubs and more...

little miss silliness...mid-run.

Jason and Dave went to lab together- Jason understands that this is a very serious

matter- Dave- I'm not so sure...

brothers in scrubs!

I love Dave's rat face- it looks just like mine and Emmy does it too! ha!

*note to self*- don't try to climb ocean rocks with flippers on... I know this seems

obvious- but when caught up in the moment, please, always remember this little tip!

We are sure that Dave's ankle will soon be just fine :)

oh how I miss apples!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- It's kind of funny how something you don't even

love seems so much more important when you can't have it... but when you start

with something you already loved and can't have- it's BAD! Happy fall to everyone-

here in Dominica, there isn't really a fall- but we are in the mood and for me-

Fall = APPLES!!! Here are some of the things that I can't wait to have NEXT fall:

apple crisp

apple cider

apple sauce

carmel apples

apple pie

baked apples

just plain apple slices

and most of all... Apple salad (I forgot to put this earlier and it really is my favorite!)
