Birthday Girl

It's hard to believe that Emmie's been part of our family for one whole year already. It has been so much fun to watch her grow both physically and mentally. I love being the one she wants when she's scared or happy. It's amazing to see how much personality she has already. Happy Birthday Emmie! May God grant you many, many more birthdays in the joyful years to come!




The traditional cake-all-over the face pose. =o)



Is this what you're supposed to do with the box? Emmie has already learned how to slam dunk on her daddy.



We went to an O's game on her birthday. Temp at 7:05 pm: 101 degrees =o)



Emmie's name is the first one on the list. =o)

One thing I have to get used to with having a cute child is being on TV. So far all three minor league games we've been to Emmie's been on the big screen. This time we were walking into the game and the cameraman spotted us (aka Emmie) and in a flash was doing a close up of us to go on the regional game coverage (MASN for those of you who know). Unfortunately we weren't taping the game =( Ok, Ok so maybe I enjoy having and bragging about my cute kid. ;o)

7 things about me

Well, Elisa tagged me with this eons ago and I am just now doing it. I am such a blogging failure. =o) I'm not going to tag anybody mostly because everyone I know has already done it. Wait, I'm talking to Jenna right now and she still hasn't done it so I tag her. =o)

1. I actually look forward to doing my taxes each year and I do them by hand (not by computer).

2. I stayed up to 2 am three nights in a row to finish the last Harry Potter book.

3. I was a captain on my swim team in middle school.

4. I hate leaving dishes in the sink overnight.

5. One of my goals in life is to watch a ballgame at all 30 major league ballparks.

6. I've been to 30 States, 5 Canadian provinces, and halfway down the gulf side of Mexico. Now I just have to get across the ocean.

7. I have both American and Canadian citizenship.

Yeah!! I made it! Hopefully there was at least one thing in here you didn't know about me. =o)
