Sleepy Shots

My favorite part of any day is when the girls wake up.  Whether it's first thing in the morning or, by some crazy odd happening, one of them wakes from a nap (very RARE), I love their sleepy expressions and cuddly mood.  Emerson fell asleep yesterday afternoon for 2 hours!  I snuck a sleeping picture and a few after she woke up...

Hi Mommy




Why are you doing this to me right now?



Sweet Day!

Avery and Mark took off this morning for Palm Springs to visit my mom and dad, play some golf, and soak up some sunshine.  Unfortunately Em and I had to stay behind.  We treated ourselves and Emmy's doll Sparkles to lunch at the American Girl Cafe.  We had such a sweet time together.  It's rare that Em and I are together without Avery.  But Avery was definitely on Em's mind at lunch.  She asked me, "Next time when we come here can we bring Avery and Aly (Avery's American Girl doll) and Daddy too?"  She is so precious... always thinking about her sister!

Emerson and Sparkles

Em loved how Sparkles sat at the table and had her own cup and saucer to drink out of

A kiss for Sparkles

My precious girl; she never will smile in a picture with me :(
