Emma at Brunch

When Enid and Isaiah came to visit we also went out for brunch at an Indian place in town.  The food was delicious and Emma had a great time.  She spent most of the time in her own chair, but towards the end of the meal she got to sit with Todd and Isaiah.

So exciting!  Lots of smacking the table and standing on Todd's lap and even some low fives for Isaiah.

Sippy Cups

After our last visit to the doctor, he suggested we go ahead and give Emma some water in a cup.  So, Sofia took Emma on a two separate little field trips today and on each of them they came home with a sippy cup.

They cups were fun to play with but I was a little distracted by this monkey. 

After a while I had a pretty good try with the red cup. 

But then I got distracted by the monkey.  Again.

Adventures in Brooklyn

This morning we got up as early as we usually do on work days and hopped right into the car and shot down to Brooklyn.  Todd had agreed to run in a 4 mile race with Sofia and my dad and David and Emma and I had agreed to lend moral support by cheering them on.

We got bundled up and watched the runners take off, then waited

 

 and waited

  and waited

  and waited

  and waited

 for the racers to come speeding back to the finish line.  

 Here we are congratulating the first finishers,

 And the whole group of happy runners.  

 Then we hiked out of the park to grab showers and have brunch - this is how they lured me to Brooklyn.

 Despite hanging out for an hour as we watched the runners take off and then cross the finish line Emmeline was very happy to be there and super excited to see Grandpa and get a ride to brunch.  

Brunch was at Chavela's and it was delicious.  They take delicious Mexican flavors and change them just a little to make a traditional dishes spring to modern life.  And although Emmeline was worn out by the excitement of the race and slept through most of the meal she woke up right at the end in time to make friends with the toddler at the next table and then snack on Mortimer for a bit. 

Go Bruins!
