Sisters at 6 weeks

I finally got a picture of the two girls. Emma loves her baby sister and loves to help with diaper changes, getting dressed and shoving binkies in her mouth. Emma hasn't been too excited about how much Kaylie wants to be held however and has gotten a little clingy.

Kaylie Ann Adamson

Here she is! Born Aug 8, 2009 at 5:02 pm, 7 lbs. 8 oz, 18 inches. We're home now and Emma is obsessed with stuffing binkies in her new sister's face. I have yet to get a picture of the two of them together.

Emma's zoo

Emma has a zoo in her crib. When I put her down to go to sleep she asks for several things. A baby, a moose, a cow, a bear, a dog and her blanket. Last night she wanted two blankets. It's getting a little crowded in there. I'll have to remember to take a picture and post it. The upside is when she wakes up in the morning she'll sit and chat with them for a while so I can sleep for an extra hour or so. The downside is she'll sometimes chat instead of going to sleep. But at least she is not crying.

Birthdays!

It's about time I get around to posting something about Emma and Bert's birthdays on the 2nd. We had a small party that night with some friends and family, barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs and had cake and ice cream. Of course I didn't bother to get my camera out until the very end, so no pictures of Emma blowing out her candles. Just some of her playing with some new toys. She was obsessed with the play cleaning kit grandma got her.



She thought the scrub brush made a good hairbrush, then she thought it was a toothbrush.

Double Rainbow

Friday night as a storm was passing through we saw the most amazing sight. Someone in the neighborhood sent us a picture and I thought I'd post it. The picture doesn't quite do it justice, the rainbow was quite bright and you could see the second one quite clearly. The steeple on the right is the Oquirrh Mountain Temple which is being built in our neighborhood and will be dedicated next month.
