life's more fun together
It’s been way too long since I have blogged and so many things have happened. Our blog itself has sort of been in suspended animation for awhile. My to dos will be:
1. Update posts about Emery
2. Add Emery to our family page
3. Time to update the top masthead
4. Need to switch out the right module
5. Post some Emery videos and photos and a special emery page.
I’ll get started on these soon. But for now it’s time for bed.
Today was Emery’s first day at the YWCA day care. Finally after 9 months of staying home with Ash, Emery was ready to meet other babies, and be a big girl. I took the day off in case Ashley needed a shoulder to cry on. It was also Valentine’s day, so we got to spend some alone time together and had a nice brunch at Highland Bakery.
When we dropped Emery off she didn’t cry, and I think she wasn’t completely sure what was going on. We said our good byes and I swear Ash might have had some wetness around the eyes! 🙂
When we picked her up, the teachers reported that she was good, played with the other kids and didn’t fuss at all! Emery is such a good girl and now all grown up!
Yup, as of today Emery took her first four legged crawl. It all started with her sitting nicely on the alphabet mat. Ten she notices a plastic bag that crackled loudly. She leaned over and almost as if it was just another normal thing to do began to move her hind legs and arms together. It was really amazing. 
We celebrated Chinese New Year by dressing Emery up in a traditional outfit. Ash tool her to Chinatown to look for outfits. The lady at the store loved Emery so much and asked to hold her. She then proceeded to give Emery a personal tour around her store!
Emery looks so cute in her Chi Pao.
This Christmas we had quite a number of guests over. Ashley two sisters along with their family came over. So our little one bedroom was a buzz with activity. There were 6 adults, Ash, me, Audrey, Tomo, Ziggy and Tomo. There were three kids, Emery, Megan, and Dylan. And last but no least our two dogs.
We did our usual Christmas tradition and opened up gifts by the tree Christmas morning. Megan facilitated the presents distribution calling out who was suppose to open a gift next. With so many people around, there was so many gifts under the tree. It was a wonderful time and Emery got to enjoy her first Christmas with our extended family. Here’s some pictures from that morning.
Here’s Tomo buried alive under the left over gift wrap…
