Beach House with Brady
At the end of June, Emmaline and I got to go back to the beach house with my mom, my sister-in-law and my nephew. We had a great time and it was fun to watch the two cousins together.
Reid and Paul's Engagement Dinner
To celebrate a good friends engagement, a group of us hosted an engagement dinner. I'm sad to say that I only have one picture to share. I was in charge of dessert and decided that lemon squares would be delicious (we also had a chocolate dish for those chocolate lovers). I made them from scratch (squeezed the lemons and everything!) and even put their new monogram on the top in powdered sugar. As I was checking off my list of things to put in the car, I walked back into the kitchen to discover that Roxy, the humongous hungry Chesapeake, thought they were simply scrumptious.

Weekly Photos
A friend of mine took pictures of her little girl every week for the first year and put them in an album. I thought this was a great idea so I stole it - I did warn her first though. The idea is to take the photo in the same place, with the same object (we use a huge pink bear) so you can see how she's grown. The number blocks document the week. It's a lot harder to remember to do than one might think. It's getting even harder now that Emmaline is aware of what's around her and the "outtakes" are hilarious. Enjoy!
My Birthday Celebration
On Saturday after returning from the beach, we went to dinner at my favorite place, Oak. I only get to eat there for special occasions so I always request it for my birthday. It was DELICIOUS and we had a great time. We asked for the chef's table in the kitchen and if you go, I highly recommend that table. It's where all the fun happens!
Emmaline's First Trip to the Beach House
The last week in May, our little family traveled up the coast to my family's beach house. Emmaline LOVED the beach, maybe a little too much because she wanted to eat handfuls of sand. After putting up a tent, chairs, coolers, etc, we packed everything up 20 minutes later and headed to the pool. Maybe next year will be a little easier to play on the beach. Emmaline loved the pool and it was more infant-user friendly since we had a float. On Wednesday we went to dinner to celebrate my birthday for the first time (yes, that's right, I believe in multiple celebrations!)
25 Weeks
Summer is here and we've been enjoying the weather. I found this fantastic pool and Emmaline loves to "swim". Don't worry, we haven't dropped her down the slide yet but I'm sure she'll be sliding down in no time!
