daddyless week


While Dad is away visiting Rich, Michelle and Chris, the hoover girls held down the fort and enjoyed a visit from Nana Henszey, who came with chrylisis for emma’s daycare. Emma is really enjoying learning about the butterfly life cycle and she has a number of them that she is patiently watching and waiting for them to emerge. nana also trimmed em’s hair. After it was cut, emma went and looked in the mirror. As if she was on a commercial for shampoo, she ran her fingers through her hair and said, “oh, I just look beautiful.”

full speed ahead...this picture was taken real early in the morning. as you can see, finding energy in the am is no problem for the girl. she is so busy and on the go, that often she feels as though taking the time to put on clothes is just a waste.


on saturday night, emma and mom had a girl party where we painted nails (emma here, showing off her nails which she painted herself) and had a book party where we went through magazines and cut out pictures to make little books. emma still really loves to cut with her scissors.


Yesterday was super hot, so em and mom spent the afternoon at lake paran swimming, making rivers and building sand castles.


emma multitasks as she gulps grape juice and talks to daddy on the phone.







Emma has really missed her daddy. Everyday we have worked on projects for him to make the time go by faster. We’ve also been counting down the days til he gets home. Looking forward to the happy reunion. We may have to rent a uhaul to get all of em’s projects she's made for dad to the airport. :)











While nana was visiting, emma asked her if she could have some yogurt. When nana asked em what the magic word was, emma said, “abracadabra!”



before daddy left last weekend, he and emma had a fun date at the park. emma was very proud that she is now able to balance and walk on the rope.














emma's friend taylor has been coming down some evenings to play with emma and read her stories. she's also been bringing emma caterpillers. emma has named three of them; merlin sherlin and their baby, goot.




















some evenings, emma likes to unwind in her barbie chair outside with her twins, jager and a good snack. life is good.
