Our weekend...

The last few days I have gotten some really good shots of Emily doing just everyday normal things that I wanted to share. Yesterday I went to a baby shower for a friend of ours and RT went and shot his gun at the indoor range with her husband. Before the shower, Emily and RT played with the ball in the front yard and here are some pictures from that.

This morning while RT was shaving his face, Emily asked if she could help. She is going through a stage where she wants to help with everything RT and I do. She likes to "help" me put my makeup on in the mornings and she likes to help sweep the floor. She even wants to help RT when he builds a fire in the fireplace. It is really cute. So, this morning RT thought he would let her help out. It went really well with a little supervision from Daddy.

This afternoon we decided to make a stop at the park. Emily loves this particular park and gets so excited every time we go there.

The whole family had a good time this afternoon!

Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and RT had to work a 24 hour shift. Emily and I just hung out the whole day and then decided to meet RT for a quick dinner on post. We brought him a few gifts and I was able to get a few pictures of Emily and Daddy together.

The Georgia Aquarium

Last weekend we decided to go to The Georgia Aquarium. There was a really large group of us and we had a really good time. We let the kids play in the grassy area outside for a while and then we went and ate lunch at the CNN center before going into the actual aquarium. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Kevin and Abby's wedding

I know that it has been almost two weeks since the wedding but I still wanted to post some pictures from that weekend. Kevin and Abby decided to make the wedding a four day event and although RT and I were only able to get out there Friday, we had such a good time. Friday night we hung out by a bon fire and some of the guys played poker. Saturday was the wedding and the reception (which was beautiful) and then another night by the bonfire. Sunday morning was a breakfast event and then we got to say goodbye to Kevin and Abby. I really think the whole thing turned out great and we were really happy to be a part of it. Here are a few pictures from that weekend.

Our first trip to the dentist

Today was a big day for Emily. This was the first time that she has ever been to a dentist. She does not have all of her teeth yet and so there is very little that they can do anyway. I just felt that it would be best if we started good oral health early! This particular dental office is one that specializes in children and so it was perfect for her. They had a playground inside the office and she got a lot of little "gifts". I kind of looked like the dorky mother taking pictures of her kid's first dental visit but I didn't care. I wanted to have pictures for RT to see since he has to work during things like this. (He was with her the other day for the first time in her life to get a shot. He got to see how heartbreaking it is.) Anyway here is how today went...
This is Em playing while she waited to be called back

Here she is getting her teeth brushed. They don't do a full cleaning on kids that are this young. They also don't do x-rays this young either. So basically they just brushed her teeth and had a look at them.


This is when the actual dentist came and checked her out.

After everything was done with, Emily received a goody bag with Princess stickers and a new toothbrush. She was very excited to get her bag.

She did so well today and I was so proud of her. She was not scared at all and was such a good girl the whole visit.
