Beginning of the End

Well, it happened. Last night I was on the floor with Emma and Olivia just hanging out. Emma kept using my body to stand then she'd let go and stand there, on her own, for about 5 seconds at a time. She did this about 15 times. The very next time she pulled up, she turned and took 2 steps away from me. I freaked. It must have been a fluke. So I let her pull up again and moved back from her. She took 2 steps toward me. Then again and again. I yelled for Cindy. Poor Emma, I scared her. She did it one more time, then she decided that was enough. I'm really in for it now.

I had a surprise when I walked out to get the mail this morning. This huge branch fell from the tree in our back yard. It's huge - about the circumference of my thigh (no rude comments please). We averted a small disaster. It came really close to our window. Thank Goodness. I also realized we forgot to take the wreath down from over the door. Oops! I'm seriously considering leaving it here 'til next Christmas.

As I was making breakfast, Olivia was playing with her magnet letters, lining them up on the counter. I paid no attention. It was only when I came back in the kitchen after everyone ate that I realized what was there.
