A few minutes ago I went in to check on Emma, who had been napping most of the afternoon in our dining room. As I rounded the corner, I saw Delaney climbing up on a chair to get a better view of her sleeping sister. I tiptoed away to get my camera, and returned to get these two cute shots. Being a mommy sure has its rewards:
Look how fancy I am!
Later in the day we made sugar cookies. I taught Delaney how to decorate them properly. She loved shaking the candies out all over the place.
We made a bit of a mess, but it was lots of fun.
Here is a close-up of one of my best. I like to see how many thousands of sprinkles I can fit on each cookie. Yum!
I spent some time with Emma. We played in her gym. It used to be mine, but I'm a little too big for it now. I like to put my baby dolls in there with Emma, so she doesn't get lonely.
I got a little silly when Mommy pulled out the camera for the tenth time. I think I tackled her here.
Haha! Mom, you are funny! And I am silly!
I will get you! Look out!
Grrrrrrr!
I found a cool tool under the kitchen sink. I know I'm not supposed to play under there, but look at this! A cleaner! I enjoyed using this cleaner to wash walls, chairs, mirrors, doors, and our dirty kitchen floor. I am a really good cleaner.
Last night was the first time that I have heard Emma cooing. It was so darn cute that I took a little video for your viewing pleasure. Here's our girl!
For the past few days, the weathermen have been excitedly chirping about the big snow that was headed our way. As of yesterday, we were expecting 4-7 inches; our biggest snow of the season. As of 7:00 PM tonight, we still only had about an inch. Ergh! Silly weathermen!
But Daddy and Hannah were excited nonetheless, and bundled up to head out this evening. Bryan pulled the sled down to the CVS on the corner for some much-needed baby wipes, then the two of them headed for the hills. After shoveling the walk a bit, and throwing snowballs at Delaney and me (we were on the other side of the door--where it was warm!) they came inside.
Bryan commented that for being Samoan, Hannah sure loves the snow!
Hannah was outside, Delaney was inside.
Savoring some hot chocolate
A joyful grin! 
Bryan and I keep laughing about how big Emma is getting. She is actually chubby now! In fact, today I even called her "Porky"! Oh my! I am a little bit sad that I haven't taken nearly as many pictures of her as I did of Hannah and Delaney when they were babies. She'll be eight weeks old on Monday and before we know it, she'll be eight years old. So, here are some pictures from today. Oh, and by the way, she's officially smiling now!
(thank you, Aunt Missy, for the cute cow outfit!)
Happy Birthday, Daddy. We love you!
Emma's first trick! Imitating her sister!
