Update 1

September 2009

Since my dad moved in Emmalee has developed a taste for rice chex cereal

Emmalee = 10 months

August 2009

Papa (my dad) moved temporarily up to VA to take care of Emmalee while I did my internship and finished graduate school. Emmalee is saying, "What?! I can't put my foot up? Whatever!"
Emmalee = 9 months old

July 2009

Emmalee, myself, and Ma Tina (my only surviving grandparent at the time); This was the last time either of us got to see her. She passed on Valentine's Day of this year. I miss her so much and wish that Emmalee would have been able to get to know her great-grandmother even more.

Ok, since I haven't blogged in FOREVER I'm doing a marathon of 1 picture/update per month I was "absent" from the blogging world. This might take several posts so stay tuned.

Note: Just realized that the photo uploader orders the pictures in reverse. So start at the bottom & work your way up.

Its been a while...

So it has been OVER a year since I've blogged. A lot has changed:

• My dad moved in with us to take care of Emmalee while I finished grad school & moved out
• Emmalee turned 1
• I graduated with my MA in Community Counseling !!! :-)
• Emmalee goes to Montessori school

I spent the summer with Emmalee and had a wonderful time. I'll update with a picture a month from all the months I've missed blogging.

Now I'm looking for a full or part-time counseling/social work/mental health position in the Hampton Roads area.

Oh, and I've recently (since April) become obsessed by cupcakes...baking, frosting, decorating, and displaying. My dad got me a Kitchenaide 5 quart mixer as my graduation present and it allows to me to make wonderful yummy goodies.
