catching up...


Emma has been a girl on the go lately. From State College, to the Poconos to Lyme for the Big Apple Circus and Bennington in between. Phew! All of it has been great fun, but it did emma good to have a quiet weekend at home.












Last weekend Em and the rest of the Hoover fam traveled to Lyme to spend some quality time with Nana and Poppy Henszey, and Em's friend Kaia and the rest of the Randolph family. Emma and Kaia are two peas om a pod. Kaia came to dinner on Friday night dressed as a beautiful princess bride. We had a great time catching up with john and jen too and cant wait to see everyone again soon!







Saturday was the big circus day. Nana had gotten us all tickets to see the Big Apple Circus, which is an awesome one ring circus. Emma did great. Her favorite part was the cotton candy. :)


we also took a beautiful hike out to Pout Pond and spent the morning playing by the water.


emma does really well hiking, but this day she was feeling like she wanted to hitch a ride.

pout pond is a great place to just sit, soak up the sun and look at wildlife.


emma has learned what a wedgy is and how to pick them.











Pout pond is the ultimate place to test out an echo. so after we showed emma this, she spent lots of time shouting out one liners like "apple circus" and cottoncandy!














































On Sunday the girls ventured to the waterpark outside of the Monthshire Museum and had a great time. The girls are very much alike and have a great time together!








throwing the disc...look at that spin!

ever the fashion pioneer- you will be seeing this look in next weeks Us weekly






Anna was off this week, so Kyle took some time off to play Mr Mom. Em and Dad had a great week week together. One of the highlights of the week was their trip to a farm in Williamstown that had a great petting zoo with farm animals....even pigs, Em's fave!


We thought there was a striking resemblance between these two- same expression...priceless!








check out that ponytail that daddy put in em's hair. not bad!



em's version of lacrosse?



Emma announced this weekend that she she was ready to go poop in the potty. we all got so excited and ran to the bathroom. she was so close, but got a little nervous, and told us that if we dug out her old elmo potty chair, she would definitly go poop in it. While she didn't hold to that promise, she did create a intricate game she named "potty rotty da" that uses the inner bucket from her old potty chair.


on Friday, Em showed some real interest in learning how to take pics. She really likes to have us pose with various objects. Here she had Mom pose with her two favorite piggies.


she's got some natural talent we think and its really fun to see the world through em's eyes!
