Another Day, Another Playground


Emma and I have started a new quest. To find and play on as many playgrounds as possible. Today I took her to one she has been dreaming of for a very long time (we pass it on our way to Walmart). There isn't any shade so we had to hold out until we had today's beautiful fall weather.

She loves to climb and is now very brave..
She is a "big slide" junkie.
"follow me mom!"
"come on mom!"
Second only to the slide is climbing
This smile melts my heart
She will swing on anything (and everything)

I love how happy she is in this picture

Happy Birthday Mr. Riggs!

He is still a stunner at the ripe old age of 30

Wordless Wednesday

A special Thanks to Emma's auntie Krissy for her new favorite solo outfit. She cannot comprehend why it is not okay to go outside like this. :)

ShiTaco

This weekend we took a trip to Chicago for the long weekend (Emma calls it ShiTaco). There was so much to see and do. I can't wait to go back!


A Windmill Farm we passed in Indiana

Emma and Me by the big noodle (You know you love it)
Emma called it the macaroni
If there was one thing Emma loved about the trip,
it was the giant macaroni. It's all she could talk about.
Emma during the one peaceful meal we had :)
We decided we should celebrate and have
drinks (YUM)

One morning Emma and I went out early and saw many
runners on Navy Pier. Emma decided she should run as well.
She takes her running very seriously.
People were cracking up at her when they passed us.
Run Forrest...

She is a neat freak and there was dirt where she
wanted to sit...what can I say? She's weird.
All clean! Ready to sit!
