Days at Home with Emilia

Now that Julia is going to a pre-school program a couple of days a week Raquel and Emilia have some time together alone.  Here's a few shots of the two of them having fun.

 

 

Action Shots

We took one of Neil's Fridays off in October to take the girls to the zoo.  One of the new (and favorite) features of the zoo is the water play area for children.  The girls really enjoy it after walking around on a hot day looking at animals.

 

 

 

Party with Steve and Vicki

Shortly after getting back from Washington, and keeping up with tradition, Steve and Vicki invited us over to celebrate Emilia's birthday with them.

Emilia liked her gift.

Here we are after dinner and part way through Emilia's digging into her piece of cake. 

 Emilia enjoyed digging into her cake.

 

 

Thanks Steve and Vicki!!!!!

Family Party

While we were in Washington we celebrated Julia, Emilia, and Cousin Rylan's birthday and we were fortunate to have Neil's Uncle Dave and Aunt Jeannette, Great Grandma Hanson, and Ryan's parents there.  Rebecca blogged about the party as well.  See her entry here. 

Julia's had a Snow White cake and Rylan's was a construction cake (see the dump truck as the cake topper?)  

Emily helped Rylan with the cards that came with the presents.

 Emilia had fun with her cards.

 Rylan enjoyed the construction theme.

 

 Even Great Grandma got in on the construction fun.

 After all of the food, we burned off energy with some balloons. 

More of the Oregon Coast

On the way home we stopped at Cannon Beach as well to have some more fun with the sand, the sun, the water and the rocks.
