January...

     Life has been busy lately, and every time I sat down to update the blog, something (or someone whose name starts with an E...) would interrupt me-- not to mention that we are battling our first ear infection of 2012!  Now its the end of January, and I haven't posted anything!  Therefore, I'm going to do another update via pictures-- my Birthday, my Harry Potter trip, and and of course MANY pictures of Emily!  She has kept me on my toes these days, and I forget sometimes that she is not even 2 years old yet!  She has a VERY extensive vocabulary, most of which I can comprehend, and she goes full speed from sun up to way past sun down (and she tries her hardest to keep going straight through nap time).  She is the sweetest little girl on the face of the planet but also FULL of sass and stubbornness.  Who KNOWS where she got that from!  Enjoy the pictures below!
