Bath time is one of Emma's favorite activities, she will stay in there even if her fingers have wrinkled, the water has turned cold, or if the water has been drained out.  She cries when bath time is over because she loves it so much!

Dog Bed

So today when I got out of the shower I found Emma in Maggie's dog bed.   I let her play for a little bit because I was about to give her a bath anyway.  I guess it was just comfy cozy. 

She was going back and forth to the TV and then the dog bed. So I just moved the bed over by the cartoons and she was content.

Last week at I heart faces ~ Scenic B&W

Last week I Heart Faces had the photo challenge of Scenic black and white, but I missed the deadline to submit my photograph.  Even though I missed the deadline I wanted to put up the photo on my blog for all the world to see.  I took this photograph the morning after Emma's first birthday party at the lake.  The mist was so pretty and I got a great moment with the boat and ducks flying by.  It was such a peaceful morning after a great day!

I heart Faces ~ Self Portrait

This week I heart Faces' theme is self portrait.  This photograph captures one of the best moments of my life.  It was taken shortly after Emma and I were moved to our room and the room was quiet.  We were alone for the first time and it was great to snuggle together.  I set my camera on the hospital tray table and set the timer, such a sweet moment with my precious little girl.

 

Visit to Santa

This year we made two visits to Santa.  The first trip started out well, Emma enjoyed playing Peek-A-Boo with Santa.  She walked up to him and shook his bells.  We both thought, wow, this is going really well. 

She sat in his lap and took one look at him and started to cry...oh well we'll just try again another day.

A few days later we went back to the mall and I thought I would sit down with Emma and santa first.  I LOVE Santa and have been known to visit him as a grown up.  My excitement for Santa could easily compare to Will Farrell in Elf.  Once Emma seemed comfortable, I gently passed her off to Jolly Saint Nick.

This strategy seemed to work out much better. I didn't get her happy grin, but at least she didn't cry.

Breast Cancer Awareness – Pink Photo Contest

This week at I Heart Faces they are having Breast Cancer Awareness month and the contest is pink. I thought this was a great pink picture of Emma.

Pretty girl!

Yea, Elon College

I gave this sweatshirt to my nephew when I was a freshman at Elon (Spring 1998). My sister was very thoughtful and saved it to pass onto Emma.

It's the Great Pumpkin Emma Bray

On Monday we headed to the local pumpkin patch.  Emma had a fun time playing with the little pumpkins and the beautiful fall weather.
