Sorry to go away for so long. We’ve been under the weather for a few days. Anyway, I’m glad several of you enjoyed Polyvore. If you join, let me know. I’d love to see your creations!
I’ve been feeling the burden of ‘thank you’ cards. Do you ever feel that burden? I hate to call it that. Indeed, I am grateful for what others do for us. My problem is that when Jacob arrived, I stopped writing those lovely little notes. I wrote several beforehand (which I have yet to distribute), and then it all came to a screeching halt. There’s much irony in the situation. Much. But anyway, I’m confessing to you, Dear Reader, that I am slack and need to get to it. (Here’s something to help. And to remind me that I’m not alone. Thank you, Amanda Soule, you awesome fellow Bloglandian.)
As a ‘thank you’ for visiting–
And here’s a bit more catch-up–
We went to the Riverwalk here in Tulsa a couple Saturdays ago, and Emily had just about the best time ever. As a side note, she’s wearing the dress her Bibi made her. Isn’t it cute? Thanks, Bibi!!!
She played with sticks. She made a friend. She played in the water. She cried when it was over.
Though Emily’s not accustomed to showing affection toward her peers, her new friend taught her a lesson or two. Very cute.
Then we let Emily loose in the fountain. She slowly built up her courage and was eventually running (yikes!) through the geysers of water. Many thanks to our friend Heather for helping with this exciting activity so I could photograph it.
That would be Heather in the cool black & white dress showing Emily how to present her best spirit-fingers to the waterspout.

Speaking of thank-you notes……I found the thank-you note that I had written to you (but failed to distribute) before Hudson was born!!! It was in a bag that I hadn’t used since just after he was born.

I was about to write and ask for an E-J fix. I needed some new shots of those two munchkins. Thanks! I love the range of expressions Jacob has already. You can tell something is going on in that little melon head. And Emily looks sweet in her dress. Thank you for finishing it. Hopefully, with the big hem and bloomers, she can wear it again next year even if it is short. Looks like you guys had great fun at RiverWalk. Since we were there with you in May, I can picture the adventure a little better.

That baby of yours is scrumptious! I know what you mean about thank you cards unless we get them done straight away they get left for months, I think the key is probably to keep a few pretty cards in a pocket in a bag and write a quick note as you think of it- its not really as personal, but its definately from the heart!
