Embracing The Random


We've actually had quite a lot going on in recent months that we have failed to report here. As the camera seems to be full of a number of good photos, it's time to dump a few here. Thus, we present to you: Odds & Ends From Smithland.

Emerson - Our hit count went up several fold since she was born, so we take that as a hint as to who you are most interested in. We give the people what they want! We've been enjoying the nice weather a lot more these days, and enjoying dressing her up in silly outfits when possible. As most of you know, she's a very happy, wonderful baby, who's been a real nice addition to our lives. We are currently enjoying what appears to be our final days with a non-crawler (she only scoots around for now), but we look forward to seeing her continue to develop and grow her personality.

Recent adventures with Emerson have included trips to the park, gardening, small group kid-chaos, Slip & Sliding, and stroller rides. Oh, and within three weeks she will have completed her thirteenth plane flight (thank the Good Lord for infants riding for free!).

Small Group - We went out for a great sushi dinner / birthday celebration a few weeks back. We have found great joy in piling all of our dear friends around a big table, and ordering lots of food. For our night out we took the train downtown, toasted with champagne on the ride, walked to Coast Sushi, and as Jen Riddle would describe it, "induced sushi comas". Oh, and we got to catch the last six minutes of the Hawks game at Durty Nellies when we got back into town. Great times!

Flight - A few more pics from my previous birthday post. Flying and traveling are true privileges. Get out there and do it folks!
