Above is video of Emma "expressing" herself and her interest in stage acting/musicals. A girl after my own heart. One of my favorites of all time is "Pirates of Penzance" (spelling?).

She is also tending towards comments, such as "that is just the way I am, mom". Her comment responding to me asking her to modify her behavior. Such as jumping on the couch or yelling in the house. Hmmmm.

I am working on blog posts from the IPad. Pretty sweet. The blog app has a writing function. Here is what it looks like:

Okay, back to Emma:

Emma with a box on her head. I believe this also was supposed to be pirat-ish.

Willa turns One!

Here is the Cross-Williamson connection, part II. The blog is out of order now. This was in March.

Willa is Phoebe's little sister. She is 3 months older than Lilly. Willa is a character. Phoebe is a great big sister. Just like Emma is to Lilly.

Here are some pics from the Cafe Francaise, in Bozeman. Run by Francoise, from France. And friend of our Francoise, also from France!

Molly, Francois(es), and Ernie! 

And Emma!

Gail and Page Visit - March

Gail and Page also visited us in March. Here are a few pictures with them.

 And a couple of Lilly, just being Lilly. That is, pretty happy!

Emma too! They are great sisters!

Easter and Lilly's Baptism

Mom and Dad came out to visit for Lilly's baptism and Easter. It was a lovely time. Here are some pictures in our baptism/Easter finery.

Lilly's christening dress was my mother's. It is 75 years old!

Emma waiting for the egg-hunt to begin outside of St. James:

Plus some pictures of Easter brunch with mom and dad, and friends:

Winter in Montana

Back to the homeland. Snow. Not a lot of it this winter (too warm). The earth should implode any year now..
But, we did get some good days in.

At Big Sky with Tyler and Bridgette. Big Dump.

On the backside of Big Sky, Shedhorn lift. Snowing. Snowing.

Emma, doing her thing, like a pro:

Emma graduated from Green to Yellow during Mogul Mice at Bridger Bowl. My she is getting good at skiing fast!

Winter Getaway- Part II

Okay, I have a "few" more pictures to post from California. I know I am eating up bandwidth, I just can't help myself. "It is just the way I am, mom ", as Emma would say when I ask her to change her behavior and she does not want to...

At the Birch Aquariums:
(A sweet little aquarium very near to UC San Diego- don't know how any student there gets any work done. The beach, waves and all other types of water-based distractions are immediately across the road from the campus!)

At Sea World:

At the Hotel Del Coronado:
(A pair of jeans there cost $178. A latte- $6. Yikes.)
