Max wanted to help give her a bath, such a sweet big brother!
(See the sink full of clothes? Yeah. That's totally common. There's always 2-3 outfits in their soaking because she's blown out or leaked out on them. Lovely.)
Have you ever thought, "My goodness! My kid looks so cute today!" And then started taking pictures to capture that? And then you take so many pictures that you can't decide on just one? Well, that's me. All the time. So here's all the pictures that I love from that moment with Emmalyn.
We had to do something with all those pounds of peaches we picked! (and other fun things we've been up to)

MMM...these hands are yummy
The first peach project. Peach salsa. I did the whole shebang including blanching the peaches and skinning them.
The peach salsa - yummy!
The kitchen was full with the different steps...
Final product - peach salsa! (Ignore the color on the big jars - it was green glass)
Brittany made a yummy peach crustada
Making peach jam
I was really pleased with the end results of our peach products. This was the first time I've ever canned anything by myself and thought it was really easy! I would totally do it again if I had a ton of produce again.
Love those chubby cheeks

Happy almost all the time
Max during swimming lessons. He's the kid on the far right.
I FINALLY got a tomato off my tomato plant!!!!!!! I was soooo excited even though it was the size of a cherry tomato. I was over the moon excited to eat my one little tomato. I cut it in half and shared with Brittany. :) It was incredibly good.
I really wish I could figure out how to grow tomatoes!
Sweet baby lips
There's a little bit of resemblance there...
I am so blessed to get to enjoy this sweetness every day of my life.
Busy saying something
Max got a backpack in preparation for going to pre-school. It's a little big for him but he was so excited and wanted to put it on, along with his new shoes, when he woke up in the morning.
Talking some more
Binky in one hand while her thumb's in her mouth. Silly girl. :)
We went to eat at a Teppanyaki restaurant. I thought Max would enjoy the "show" you get when the chef is cooking. Max was nervous about the flames (he had seen them at another table first). He covered his ears, his was so nervous.
Watching the chef
Even more scared
Dad protecting him while he covered his ears.
He was happy when the show was over.

Wife, Mom, and Career Woman. Trying to succeed at all three. Enjoy cruising, time with friends and family, and sleeping. Busy life doesn't leave time for as much fun as in the past but that's okay, it's still a good life.
