Ahh, spring!

No real news to report. All is well here - just enjoying the spring weather! We spent this past weekend planting a garden bed on the side of the house...blue salvia, columbines, and lavender.

This weekend we are heading down to Chilton County to pick strawberries - we promise to post pictures!

Nice and Sunny

Not much new here, just enjoying the nice, warm weather. Oh, and look at those teeth!

Happy Easter!

Emma's first Easter was spent in Dalton with her Mimi and Papaw. She looked so cute in her sweet, white dress...with her legwarmers (I'm addicted to these things!) It was quite chilly on Easter, so she had to stay warm!

After church, we headed to Bea's Restaurant - quite a tradition at the Farmer household. After eating too much fried chicken and drinking too much sweet tea, the Halls hit the road for Birmingham. Emma slept almost the entire trip - being cute takes a lot of work!

Also, thanks to all of our family for her sweet Easter gifts!

I like bunnies!

Just me and Mom...

I'm tired!

I'm snuggly!

Life is fun!

Easter dress!

I'm happy!

Nice and Easy

Things around here have been pretty normal. We are in the midst of spring, so we are spending as much time in the garden as possible. Dugald constructed a border around the garden with a path in the middle. It is so nice! We have planted a few cool weather crops: broccoli, brussel sprouts, peas, onions and lettuces. We are really looking forward to our garden this year. As I was quite pregnant last summer, I wasn't much help!

Emma is growing fast! She has two lower teeth and quickly growing blonde hair. She loves food and has quite an affinity for yog(h)urt. She is eating well and sleeping well, so we can't ask for much more.

This past weekend, we went to our first Easter Egg Hunt...it was quite a time!

Oh so happy!

Just hanging with Dad...

Who me, blonde?

Just chilling...

Hyacinths in bloom!

Does this bib make me look fat?

Busy Bee

Every day with Emma is such an adventure...especially since she is in constant motion. Rolling, wriggling, and scooting around are her new favorite activities. I didn't realize she could scoot on her back until last week when I put her on her playmat and jumped in for a quick shower. I looked out the bathroom door to check on her, and she was about six feet from her original location. She had scooted on her back off the playmat and around the side of the couch. Yikes! Her daddy jokes she has a bad case of wriggle-itis! Once she learns to crawl, we are in big trouble.

I love my jumperoo, thanks Mimi!

Out on another adventure!

Are you getting a picture of this?

Mmm, yog(h)urt!

Just hanging out with my Dad!

Who knew she would be interested in Buzzy Bee at such a young age! We decided that this was probably not the best toy right now...choking hazard?!

We love our legwarmers - thanks Grandma!

Let it Snow...Again!

We were quite excited when we heard there was a chance of snow. However, after years of snow in the forecast, we were hopeful, but realistic. So, like little children on Christmas morning, we were up at the first sign of light peaking out the window in hopes of seeing white.

Emma, of course, helped us with this task when she decided that 4:45am was when the party would start for the day. Much to our surprise, everything was aglow with snow! Although it lasted for mere hours, it was long enough to count.

Six Months Old!

Wow, how the time flies. It seems like yesterday that Dugald and I were preparing for our little one's arrival - and now she's already six months old. All the parents out there are nodding their heads in agreeance, I know.

Other than this little milestone, there isn't much to report. Emma is eating a bit of food; her favorite is prunes, as noted by the picture below. No more snow in the forecast, it is actually 75 F - perfect weather for tornadoes in February. Strong storms are predicted tonight, so hopefully all will remain calm.

Here are few pictures of our little Emma, who is rolling around like crazy. The mobility is frightening, at least for her parents!
