Fun Stuff

By Kerry -
Tonight was such fun! Andy, Addy and I went down to campus and I received my UT class ring. I guess it's official now. Since I had it made with 2008 on it, I really need to write that dissertation. Andy asked what would happen if I didn't graduate in '08. I told him that the little warranty actually provides for a one-time change of graduation dates... OR degree... for free. The way I look at it, I can change both if I want to ;-). Even cooler than the degree or year (neither will change and both are non-negotiable) is the engraving I had put on the inside. It has a favorite Rodgers and Hammerstein song title "You'll Never Walk Alone" and the initials AAE for Andy, Addison and Emme. Addison was great at the ring presentation ceremony (it's a big deal in Texas to get a UT or A&M ring! I never realized what a tradition it is) and really enjoyed playing with the statues of Longhorns and horses.

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
