Cheese!

Or should we say "Peanut Butter!"

What does Emory say?

Little E is repeating EVERYTHING these days, especially her Granmomma and Grandaddy.

4th of July

We had a wonderful holiday weekend that started Thursday with our 4th wedding anniversary. I can't believe everything that we've managed to accomplish in this short amount of time. I couldn't be happier with my life right now. I tried to find a picture of just Eric and me to post but we don't have recent ones and I don't have our wedding pictures uploaded to the new computer. How sad is that... Instead you get to see pictures of Emory.

This is the first fashion design of The House of Gunter.

These two are just some of us goofing around.

This last picture is of our dinner Saturday night. We had super yummy (and Emory safe) ribs and veggie kabobs.

Look at those eyes!

Stuck!

Emory likes to sit in this box when she wakes up. She somehow moves from the bed to the box without making a sound and then yells "STUCK" over and over until you go get her. This is also the child that loves to yell "HELP" at everyone you pass while you are trying to grocery shop. Maybe I should tell her about the boy who cried wolf.

Recent Photos

It seems like we've been really busy lately, however, I'm not really sure what has made us busy. That's not exactly true ... I've been reading the Twilight series. Here are a few pictures of what our real life has been lately. We went to the mountains with some friends to celebrate (ie forget about) our birthdays. The first picture is of a Southern Arizona forest. Yes, those are thousands of saguaro cacti. Where's Emory? These kids need to be caged sometimes. Such a big girl with her braids. One of the many dresses of the day.

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday weekend! We laid low today because Eric had to work and because we (or at least Emory and I) have been sick for the last week. We played in the backyard and grilled turkey burgers and hot dogs for dinner followed up with ice cream cones for dessert.

Emory was just pitiful the first part of last week. She was running a high fever and had absolutely no energy or appetite. Then, the coughing started. This was Emory's second bout of bronchitis this calendar year. Her wonderful pediatrician came in early on Thursday morning to squeeze us in. Yes, he also stayed late one evening the week before to fix her dislocated elbow. He is a wonderful doctor.

We left the appointment with some new equipment. We are now doing breathing treatments on an as needed basis. That means, multiple times a day for the rest of the week and then whenever she seems wheezy after that. Trying to get a one year old to sit still for fifteen minutes is not easy. Needless to say we have watched a lot of The Backyardigans and Sesame Street. The treatments really work though, her cough is all but gone.

This last picture doesn't really go with the topic but I wanted to include Little E's most recent favorite dress up item. Her handmade Christmas toboggan , apparently it matches everything.
