(Nearly) Ten Years Old
May 19, 2013 by Adam in Emma
Emma had a birthday party with her friends today. Jade, Kate, and Daniel all arrived this afternoon to hang out, eat good food, and have an adventure. Joanna outdid herself with a delicious lemon cake and treasure hunt. A horde of kids ran up and down the stairs, then in circles around the house, only to finally find their treasure. They had a great time.
Sam and I picked up PF Changs, as requested. Emma taught Jade how to use chopsticks. Daniel got picked up just as Mythbusters was winding down. The girls are now very slowly going to bed, all three sleeping bags next to each other. Hopefully they actually go to sleep before we do.
I'm really appreciating this age of Emma. She's sweet and helpful, and quite loveable by everyone around her. It's cool how she's become an avid reader. Last night we hung out on the couch as she showed me her favorite Avatar episodes.

Emma Reads
May 10, 2013 by Adam in Emma
Emma has become an avid reader in the last year. If she wakes up early in the morning, she'll read until it's time to wake up. When she takes a bath, she'll always bring a book. I can't count how many times I've read the Adventure Time graphic novels to her before bedtime.
