Falling for Fall

It's been quite a while, dear reader, since we've updated our little corner of the internet, Emma Days. But in that neglect of digital ramblings, life has pushed onward for our budding little lady. Preschool has started again, with Emma entering the 4 day a week Pre-K class (M-R). She is one of nine kiddos in the class, one that consists of more structure and goals that will hopefully translate into easier transitions into Kindergarten next year.

Like you, we're completely blown away by that thought.

She was not very excited for the first day.

She was not happy either.

Cuteness abounds, in front of the preschool building, right next to the Bennington Monument.

Her little buddy Will getting in on the 1st day smiles.

Emma and family also went to a birthday party for Ethan, one of Emma's friends from daycare.  It was a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed party, on a perfect day for outside play.  

Camden, Eva, Adison, and Emma.  All 3 are smitten with our little girl, looking up to her and talking about her at home.  It's nice for Emma to be the oldest, and therefore set the tone at day care. She is quite the helper, and a bit of a mother hen. 

Sporting the safety goggles, you know, for safety.  

Posing with the birthday boy.  

A blast of warm weather also hit our area in late September.  Emma took the opportunity to don her swimming suit for one last run through the sprinkler, and one last summer outing with mom and dad.  

Nana Hoover also sent Emma a crazy, yet cherished skirt for our little model.  

Taking Jager for a walk.  Jager has been very tolerant of Emma, letting her walk her all around and staying close by.   Emma's also sporting her new pink tutu, a staple of her wardrobe.  She'd wear it every day, over every outfit, and even to bed if we'd allow.  Actually, if she'd ask, we'd probably let that happen too.  

Having fun at the park.  

Look at the pose, and the changing leaves.  

Keep climbing.  

Playing tag with dad.  How do you run and take pictures without going face first into the sod?

Posing in the reading garden, just outside the Northshire Bookstore.  Emma wondered whether we could just bring this home with us.  

Hope all is well with everyone.  Look for more frequent updates of our little lady.
