Beer is ready!

We had the first home-brewed beer last friday and it is really good. It is refreshing and smooth and we are really enjoying it.

John and Nancy's visit

Although John and Nancy's visit was short, we got so much done and we really enjoyed spending time with them. Nancy and I painted the kitchen and the little dinning room. We also painted art work for Emma's room, went grocery shopping, took Emma to her four-month checkup, watched English movies, cleaned the house and did laundry.

John making Emma laugh:

John and Nancy left Saturday morning and before they hit the road we took pictures of them with their granddaughter and their granddog. Emma woke up from her morning nap just in time for these pictures; she was wide awake and smiling for the camera.

Grampa giving her a last kiss:

Look who's here!

John and Nancy drove from Ohio for a short visit this week. Last time they saw Emma she was a little over a month old and now she's smiling and talking to them.

Hopefully we'll be able to take some family pictures before they leave but for now, here are some of Emma and her Grammy.

FOUR Months

Emma is FOUR months old today!

Recreational Reading

This morning we were all reading in bed. Cameron is reading about home preserving, I'm reading a novel, and Emma... well, judge for yourself.

She got tired after extensive reading:

Turtle

Cameron said she's our little turtle.

While Cooking Dinner

I was cooking dinner last night and Cameron was caring for Emma. I looked out the kitchen window and saw both of them relaxing on the hammoc. I had to stop what I was doing to get the camera and go out to our backyard to take pictures.

Emma was staring up at the trees and the birds:

One finger is not enough:

Atenas was also enjoying a nice evening:
