Ski Bunnies

Yes, you read that right, ski BUNNIES, plural, that means both girls skied! We went up to Wintergreen the weekend before Emmy's third brithday as a birthday celebration weekend! Bryden signed up for her annual ski lesson our first day at Wintergreen, and Emmy watched and wanted a turn, so we signed her up for one the next day! Two years old and Emmy was on skis! Holy Cow! Granted, it was only a week before her third brithday, but still, she was TWO! Both girls are natural skiers, and I love that! Skiing was such a big part of my life growing up, and I am so excited to share that with our girls. Bryden did so well in her lesson this year, that I felt confident taking her out myself the next day, so after Emmy's lesson in the morning, Bryden and I hit the slopes for a few runs. We started on Potato Patch a few runs then moved over to Dobie, and Bryden ROCKED it out! Emmy killed her lesson too! It was so dang cute watching her on her foot and a half long skis. She is such a feather weight, and the decline is so little on the training slope, that her instructor had to pull her everywhere, but she learned how to balance herself and be on the skis, and she had a huge smile on her face the whole time, so proud of what she was doing! I am so proud of both of the girls and how they try new things, even if they are a little scared.

Sleepy Emmy

Emmy has started coming out of her room at night. First it started with her coming in to our room and waking me up, I was tired so I pulled her in bed with us. Next night, she was back, but I brought her back to her room. Following night, she climbed up on my pillow and curled up in the fetal position without me knowing it. Jim came home from work late that night and woke me up to tell me she was on my pillow. After that, she just started bringing in a pillow and blanket and laid on our floor next to the bed (she sleeps on the floor in her room for some reason too, ever since we took the front off her crib and made it a day bed, she prefers the floor!). Anyway, we'd move her back to her room, so finally she just started coming into the hallway with her pillow and blanket and sleeping in the hall or would go into Bryden's room on her floor. We were worried she would roll down the steps, so we finally put a gate in her doorway. But we have a few pics of her nighttime adventures all over the house! I love my sleepy pics of Emmy, 'nuf said!
