We celebrated our friend's birthday at the local Italian haunt. We are getting ready to go to Mexico with them in a few weeks so the kids are getting comfortable and chatty with each other.
Check out this dessert tray. It was happily INSANE! We even licked the chocolate writing off it!
E now eats a double kids meal of pasta - super grower!
Em is not the girliest girl on the block but this morning she channeled her inner starlet and made her appearance on the stairs like this . . .
E requested her autograph, and she was happy to oblige. If you click on the picture to blow it up, you'll see E titled the page "V.I.P."
Em loves to get her hands on my ipod. Her most frequent request is Dora or Signing Time (sadly, I have both on there to get through long car rides). But she's
Ems and Tall House, Double Cup were in heaven over the weekend at our brunch - it was a real girl fest! It was tough competition getting to pry Baby Delia out of Jeff's arms but eventually Ems got her change to hold her. I love how pleased Em looks.
Just a few shots from our sunny days at the park. Love, love, love Portland in the "spring."
I found a stash-buster pattern for a poncho in a new knitting book so I hit up my yarn piles for anything blue and whipped this baby out in two days. Now that I see in on Ems I see some adjustments I need to make, but I appreciate her patience in letting me get a photo. 
She wore it for a total of 35 seconds before throwing it off and announcing she would NOT wear it to school because she wanted to show everyone her shirt. Part of me is happy just getting the photo.
Channeling her inner model.
My delight in the new year of 2010 is a new friend! yeah! The lovely Marissa, her husband Ken, and their sweet baboo baby Delia. Marissa is a teen services librarian, newly arrived in pdx and an utter soul sister. gemini, reader, mama.
I've been working on a handful of knitting projects at the same time in 2010. This was the week for finishing up.
Next is a chain mail crocheted scarf - Heart and Sole sock yarn. This is a special secret for a Midwest auntie.
I've got both E and Em on the pedicure train - all I had to say was "pirate blue" and they were all in. I love time with them right after their bath. They are all fresh and sweet and damp. When they aren't drying their wet toenails, there is lots of jumping, dancing, and cuddling.
And of course, movies.
Taking some inspiration from her cousin Addie, I took Ems to her first movie - The Princess and the Frog. We went to our local McMenamins theater pup - so we got to lounge out on a couch. It's the same place that Evan saw his first movie - March of the Penguins. Em even wore a headband for the occasion (she usually won't stand for anything in her hair).
he held it all the way to the theater.
