road trip

this past weekend emi and i went on a road trip.

we decided to drive up to my brother erik's for the weekend.
my parents were both going to be in VA for business.
i only got out my camera once :(
so some are from my phone, others are from my camera.

emi resting at a rest stop.
(this morning she protested her car seat for the first time, ever)

we were able to drive down to where my mom was and go to lunch.
we always seem to go to diners, drive-ins and dives.
you know from the food network show.

emi was loving that she could look out the window.
every morning she would look out and watch the cat across the street.

claire was drawing emi.

showing gma her tricks.

i was excited to see how they would interact.
just how i assumed....
emi would play with something
claire would take the toy, cause it was hers....
then emi would try to take it back

emi has been doing this for a while.
if she sees my shoes she will put them on her arm
kind of like carrying a purse.

cheeseball....
hanging out in gma's hotel room.
seriously, she is not that chubby.
people always tell me how tiny she is.
she's short and getting skinny.
it's true, the camera does adds 10 pounds :)

claire telling the dog to stay outside.
she would say it over and over....
it was funny to watch because he was locked outside.

playing around...
it was fun to watch emi run around.

claire wasn't feeling very well.
so we actually left earlier than planned.

we still had a great time but didn't want to get emi sick.
they didn't play much together because
i didn't want to swap germs
wondering why there are no pictures with my dad and emi
that's because she wouldn't go near him
if he even came towards her she would start crying.
by the third day, she would let him give her a kiss
but only if i was holding her.

thanks for the fun weekend!
we are excited to come back in june/july
