Dettinger Reunion!!!

It's TRUE! We got to see Kelly, Shane and our newest friend Marissa!

Let's just say Emmy was in LOVE- with Marissa.

Our children playing in the sand-- there are more girls now-- but the sand eating apparently follows us.

Emmy and Shane weren't the lovers they once were-- they used to make out 24/7 and yell to each other across the courtyard-but they were still friends!

Love!

so-- the number of our children has doubled-- and we are all a lot paler-- but my heart is still as happy seeing Kelly as it was seeing her every day in Dominica--I will forever be grateful to that island for the amazing friends it gave me!

Life is pretty darn fun!

How the girlies spend a LOT of their time.

playing- running and most importantly- SINGING!

Photo Shoot with Miss Penelope

Don't worry- I took these last ones in rapid succession-- I just love her little cry face and had to capture it-

the emotions of a 3 year old

So~ one of my friends did this with her daughter a long time ago- and I vowed to do it when Emmy was old enough-- so without further ado- here are Emmy's version of the emotions written on each picture ;)

V day!

we had a "we love Daddy" outfit day!

This was the Sunday before Valentine's

Junior birdman-- and... both girls do it.

see!- it's so funny!

Seriously- the cutest girls alive!

Jason's traditional edible flowers- that I first made for him while we were dating- and it was so great that we had to keep going!

Emmy shared with our neighbor friend- Micheal-- I just love how happy she is to have shared ;)

Injuries are not cute.

ok- yes they are-- this is after several days of healing-- it was quite a spill ;)

My crazy little busy bee.

yep-- this is what she looks like about 90% of the time.

and this is what a found most of the time...
