Even with our lack of baby-proofing in our home Emma has been able to find her way around everything! She crawls as fast as lightning and climbs on everything. Grandpa David even caught her trying to pull out the 3rd shelf our bookshelf!
You can see the sweat in Emma's hair because she was playing so hard. She loves this glass table because she can see through it at some angles but also can see her reflection in it! It also makes really loud noises when you pound things on it!

Emma loves playing peek-a-boo even with nothing to hide her face.
Emma in a high chair while mommy and daddy were out to eat with her Uncle Brett, Aunt Ashley, Godmother Stacy and Godfather Matt. She was so tired. I tried to capture her half asleep but as soon as she saw the camera and heard my voice she perked up a little.
Here are the girls again with Great-Grandma Sylvia and Great-Grandpa Ervin.

Here are a few pictures from late August with Emma and Sonja with their Great-Grandparents Ervin and Sylvia. Sorry it has been so long since my last post but a lot has happened in the past month.
As many of you know I started teaching in late August and have found myself loving it more than I can imagine. The English Langauge Learners (immigrants, native americans & refugees) that I teach everyday are such a blessing. They often make me take a step back and realize how lucky we are and appreciate everything that we have. They also are so thankful and eager to learn that it has made my first year of teaching fun! I keep challenging myself by coming up with new strategies and techniques to help them learn! :)
On another note, Elliot and I have spent the last few months building our home with a Custom Home Builder in town. Nevertheless a current (as in 8 am this morning) but ongoing discussion about Minnesota building code left us terminating our contract with them this morning and we are again in limbo. We are still deciding whether to stay in the apartment for awhile longer or buy a home before mortgage rates go through the roof again. Luckily enough we were able to return the lumber for the porch and all of the appliances with no penalty, but now we have quite a large amount of kitchen and bathrom cupboards/vanities, trim, and interior doors and knobs with no home....
Don't worry, I am sure that Elliot will find something to do with them with his handy-man expertise!
