September – December 2008
Finally spent some time doing some editing, and got another folder taken care of. These pictures are from September 22, 2008 – December 11, 2008. Hope you enjoy. (Even if they are ridiculously old.) It’s amazing to look back at these, and see how much Emma has grown and changed.
This first set is from the Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival. We have a great time going, although we really don’t get to see the boats. We spend most of our time in the kids area, and then for lunch head back across the river to eat on my friends, John and Jeanne’s, boat. After lunch, we watch the race that is the finale to the down and dirty boat building contest. I don’t have any pictures of that race, but it is a great time to watch. The competitors have the weekend of the festival to build their boats, and then they race them on the river. One leg under sail, one leg paddling. October 19, 2008
The Insectarium had a tent set up. Emma and Susan are looking at an Australian walking stick.
For Halloween, we have been going to the Monster Mash, which happens on a weekend right around Halloween. It is a great day for kids to celebrate Halloween. Here Emma is in her costume taking a look around a fire engine. October 25, 2008

So proud of her handy work. (I don’t think he is going to scare anyone away.)

SNOW!!! What a great morning. This is the first time Emma got to see snow. I spent a couple of hours playing with Emma before I headed in to work. Truly amazing to see our neighborhood covered with snow like this. December 11, 2008
She was still in her Pajamas when I first brought her out to play. Mommy changed her into more appropriate clothes after she got to see a little snow.
This is looking from my driveway across my front yard, and across the triangle by our house. Just amazing to see this much snow.
I think Susan may have been more excited than Emma.
I never thought we would see enough snow to try and build a snowman. In all of my life here, I have never seen this much snow.
