Hi friends and family! I have been rather busy this week with various responsibilities and have been unable to blog as much as I would like. Speaking of blogging, I heard an amusing thought on NPR the other day regarding blogs. It can be said that blogs are like answering machines. Back when answering machines were new, many people were overexcited about regularly changing the greeting... you know, on Day 1 you leave a greeting about how excited you are to get messages... Day 2, you have your kid say the greeting... Day 3, you start making funny jokes (like, "Hello? (pause....)", giving the unsupecting caller the impression that someone just answered the phone, so they start talking, only to soon discover they have been fooled!) The point is, after a while you start to not care about your answering machine, and you end up with the same old greeting for years to come. The same can be said for blogging, I guess... right now I enjoy leaving new posts quite a bit, but I am sure that in time it will become old hat. So, I guess the moral of the story is: enjoy it while it lasts, if in fact, you enjoy visiting at all. ;)I thought I would post a couple more videos, because Emma has learned some new tricks! She has figured out how to spin in circles and get rather dizzy as well as climb up on the couch (and even get off without hurting herself). She is very proud of her newfound talents. One of these videos can viewed below... the other is posted as a link on the side (Climbing Emma). I've also updated my Book Review, so be sure to leave your comments to support the "Motivate Susan to Read More" fund.

Emma is such a joy. I don't know what we would do without the darling videos. Did you teach her to spin, or did she just start doing that? What a little climber too, and without falling! Good for Emma. She is looking like a little girl with all those cute curls. I wish I could give her a big hug. In fact I wish I could give her cute momma a hug!!! Maybe Ben too, but he might not like that, hee hee.
ReplyDeleteShe just started to spin on her own. This video was only like the 2nd time she had done it. She is so clever. She also figured out how to get on the couch on her own... but we helped her figure out how to get off without going head-first!
