We Almost Got a Cat

This weekend Jim has been taking care of the neighbors animals - horses, dog and cats.  Emily and I have been going over there when he does the evening feedings.  She just loves their kittens which are getting a lot bigger.  The one kitten kept jumping in the stroller with Emily when we were leaving, it must have done it 3 or 4 times.  It was cute at first and I snapped a few pictures, of course Emily loved it and you can see her hugging the kitty.  Then the cat though it was a game and finally I had to set it down and just start running away with the stroller for us to get home with no cat.

Take Time to Smell the Flowers

Here are a few cute pictures of Emily in front of our flowers last night.  It was such a beautiful October day, we went for a walk and enjoyed the outdoors.

Basketball with Daddy

Here is a picture of Emily and Jim playing basketball at our neighbors, she can't dribble yet, but she does bounce it pretty well.  :)  I hope she plays sports.

Who is Having More FUN?

I had to share a couple of pictures of Jim playing with Emily before bed the last couple of nights.  Emily has so much fun with her daddy, I really enjoy watching them together.  Of course he is more playful and silly than me.  

Emily gets so excited when he gets home from work too!

Adrian College Homecoming

Can you believe that today was my 10 year reunion for Adrian College.  I can't believe I am old enough to be out of college 10 years, but I guess I have done a lot and changed in the last 10 years.  

We didn't get a chance to make it to most of the festivities, we headed to Adrian late this afternoon in hopes we would be taking a well rested toddler after a long nap.  Nope, Emily decided not to take a nap today and so we only stay for a short time at Adrian.  They have a lot for children, zoo on the move with many animals, jumping things, games, etc.  

We stopped by the faculty tent to say hi to a few professors in the business school.  I will be joining them in January teaching Principles of Marketing one night a week (6-8:30pm).  I am looking forward to teaching and spending time on my old stomping ground.  Adrian has changed since I have been there; the enrollment was less than 1,000 when I went to Adrian, and now its pushing 1600.  They have updated many facilities and added several new buildings, I hardly recognized the place.

After the Hair Cut

I got a request for a few pictures showing the final hair cut - here they are.  Not too much of a change.  :)

Emily's First Hair Cut

Today was Emily's first hair cut.  She was a little unsure and sorta pouty about the whole thing.  My cousin Amy did her hair cut, and did a great job.  We just trimmed the ends, evening out the front and back.  Great Grandma took the pictures, it was her first time using a digital camera and many years since she had taken any pictures, she did a great job too!  I would have taken the pictures, but Emily was timid so she sat on my lap for the hair cut.  Don't worry daddy we didn't any length off, and she still looks like our little baby.  (Jim didn't think we should have her hair cut yet.)
