Playground in My Backyard

Eme has been so excited ever since Jonas brought a slide over to her house with the promise to build a playground in her backyard. Well, this weekend that dream is many steps closer to reality. On Saturday, Jonas and Jeff started building Eme's hybrid playhouse and playground. It is a 6x8 foot structure that is 3.5 feet off the ground with a really cool slide coming off of the deck. I'm pretty sure she has already gone down the slide at least 50 times - on her bum or on her tummy. I don't think she's tried head first, yet. And, yes, the slide is stong enough to hold Jeff and Heather.

Jonas, you really have learned to build a solid structure quickly. Eme absoutely LOVES her playground!

Hoppy Easter

Eme and daddy this morning finding eggs.

Mommy took a picture of Eme crying because mommy thought she was being ridiculous and she wanted to show Eme how ridiculous she was being. Didn't really work.

Eme's first black eye. The frog tent at school jumped up and bit her.

We continue to have lots of fun with Eme. She is ready and willing to help with EVERYTHING you want to do - from moving furniture to unloading the dishwasher. She is a huge help. Of course, everything takes abou 15xs longer than without her help, but it is worth the wait : )

Eme had a pretty low key Easter. We just hung out around the house and played outside. This afternoon Jonas and Daddy started building Eme's playground in the backyard. We can't wait for it to be finished!

Sorry the pictures are out of order.
