Bert's parents, Jeff and Linda, came up for a visit last week and we had such a great time! They spoiled us rotten by taking all of us out to eat to all of these amazing restaurants!! The first night they were we went to the Japanese steakhouse in Raleigh. Definitely one of my favorites and it's quickly becoming one of Emily's favorite's too.
She loved watching the chef cook right in front of us. She was very serious, but definitely enjoying it! I don't think she could quite figure out what he was doing.
Meet Emily's new favorite toy. She LOVES her horse. Linda found it at a yard sale and thought Emily might like it....and she was right!! It's the perfect size for her and so far we haven't had any injuries.:) Emily can make me a little nervous sometimes with how hard she is rocking, but Bert assures me she can't flip it over backwards.

Linda and Jeff also brought Emily another surprise. They bought her a big pad of paper and her first crayons. So fun!! The doctor asked me at her 15 month check up if she liked to color (scribble), and I told him I hadn't really given her the chance. We didn't even own any crayons. Poor kid.:) Anyway, she quickly figured out what to do and this is where she spends a lot of her time now. She also really likes to walk/dance on the paper. I think it feels funny to her.:)
Emily's first piece of art work. 15 1/2 months old. A few of the circles in the bottom left are from us to help get her started, but I would say this is 90% her work. So proud of my little artist.:)
We also watched movies, played games, walked around downtown WF and just enjoyed being together. One night Linda, Jeff, Bert and I decided to play a game of Phase 10. For me, it was one of those games where all you can do is just sit in shock that you still haven't been able to get past phase 6. I was stuck and it was maddening. Linda won, with Jeff and Bert right behind her....me, not so much. If you know me at all you know that I can get pretty competitive during games (especially with Bert). It was a huge relief to me that Bert ended up coming in 3rd place.:)
Thanks for coming to visit, Linda and Jeff! We had such a great time with y'all...please come back soon!:)
