Busy Weeks

It has been a busy couple of weeks! Here is a picture of Emma and Michelle soaking up an aquatic massage with Katherine Bragg at Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon. Michelle's school requires that students go on this retreat and practice hydrotherapy! What a beautiful October weekend it was!



Emma's sleep patterns have been changing and we struggle to know whether to let her fuss on her tummy or turn her "back to sleep." This was the first night we let her "fuss." Before I went in, Dan prefaced "Don't freak out, she's still breathing!"



The day we went to get our Christmas tree was also the first snow of the year. It turned into a beautiful December day with thick flakes draping the trees. Emma was fascinated by the snow and even tried to catch some flakes on her tongue.






Trimming the tree took a bit longer this year in spite of (because of?) the extra help. A week later and we still have ornaments in boxes -- we manage to hang two or three each day.







After a day in the snow, Emma's big sister is wiped out. If you ever want to see the video of Kona snoring away on her pillow, let us know... it made us cry with laughter!
