WatchWe recently went to the Santa Barbara Zoo for Members Night. One of Em’s favorite things was sliding down the “Ant Hill” on cardboard. I think we have a bit of a daredevil on our hands.

WatchEmma’s a big fan of slides - both big and small. She likes to slide down, climb up, and generally act like a monkey. This particular day at the park was no exception.

WatchEmma went to her friend Jeffrey’s birthday today at Tucker’s Grove Park. When we arrived there was a giant bounce house. At first, Em was scared. Then, after a few minutes she started to warm up to the big Elmo plastered on the outside of it. After a few more minutes she decided she wanted to go in and try it. For the next hour, we couldn’t get her out!

WatchAfter five long weeks, Emma got her cast off today. She actually handled the loud cast saw really well and was more curious than anything. She never ceases to surprise and amaze us.
WatchI realize I am incredbly biased, but I think this girl’s some real talent for music. She’s 19 months old and has a broken wrist - yet, she is playing some darn good piano.

WatchThis was an experiment on all levels. First, it was Emma’s first Christmas and we wanted to capture it. All of it. So, Daddy pulled out the camera during the five days of Christmas in five towns, two states, and two coasts. Second, it was Daddy’s first time shooting video and stills with his new camera. It’s needs work, but you get the idea.
Happy New Year!
WatchIt’s the holiday season and we thought it would be fun to take her downtown to the Santa Barbara Holiday Parade on State Street. Emma and about 45,000 of her closest friends watched as the parade went by!

WatchWe went and saw our good friend, Inga Swearingen, perform at the gardens at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Besides the fact that she is an award-winning jazz artist, she also won over our little Emma’s heart. “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” is Emma and Mama’s favorite song to sing together so when Inga performed it, she pretty much gained a fan for life!
