Transition

Everett was given his own blog for the first year because I print books with all of the blog posts.  These blogs and blog books have replaced my scrapbooks.  SO, it was only fair that he have his first year all to himself and have posts that marked all of his first year milestones.  BUT, it has always been the plan to merge the two blogs at the end of his first year.  So, aside from a post that I will put up with Emily's 4 year pictures (so that it can be printed in her book to round out her 4th year), this blog will no longer be "active" - all new posts will be on the family blog (Everett's current blog) which will continue to follow our lives and feature both Emily and Everett.  Follow me HERE

PS There are two new posts below, posted today, don't miss 'em!

4 Year Well Check

Bright and early on June 22nd, Emily had her 4 year well visit where she weighed in at 38.6 lbs. and measured 42 inches tall.

She asked me the whole way there if she was going to have to get shots and I told her I didn't know.  (This is something she asks me before every one of Everett's visits too... she might not have thought about it if she hadn't seen him get so many.)  And everything was going swimmingly...

until she asked the doctor if she was going to have to get shots.

The anticipation was rough but thankfully she had already done amazingly on her eye test (I couldn't identify the letters she was reading off after a couple of rows).  And once the shots and tears were finished, we met up with friends for breakfast and some fun!  Our first stop (after bagels) was the OC Zoo.

That little zoo never takes very long so we followed Emily and Emory (who followed a peacock)...

over to ride the train...

and the horses!

This was Emily's first time to ride on the big horses that trot...

and are guided by a "cowgirl" on her own horse.

Hooray for trying new things!  Must come with age.
