What a fun day to celebrate!!! Emerson is 2 today. It is so much fun to shop for a little girl. She is getting dress-up clothes and a tea set. The princess dress is Cinderella, of course! I got up early this morning to make her chocolate doughnuts for breakfast (I found the recipe on pioneerwoman.com- they are yummy and the pictures of her cooking are awesome). Then, I took the kids to the sprinkler park to play. It is hot, hot, hot here and a little short on amusement. I'm hoping we can get a house with a pool so the kids will have more to do here.
Which, brings me to our next bit of news...for those who don't know...we've moved to Texas! It was kind of an all of a sudden move. Someone Donald knew from a past job called him up to talk to him about some work in Texas. Donald was mildly interested and decided to fly to Texas just to squish any interest he had. Well, he came back to Summerville and we decided to move to Texas. Within 3 weeks, we were in Texas. We live in a little town called Lumberton in Southeast Texas. Donald is remodeling homes that were damaged during Hurricane Rita.
We like our new ward and Lumberton is a nice, safe town. The kids went to school here for the last month and met friends right away. The home we rent is kind of a dump, so Donald finally gave into the idea of getting a cat and we now have the sweetest little gray with black stripes kitty, which Rex of course named Val.
It seems everyone here went on vacation as soon as school let out so the kids are anxious for their own summer camps to start. We have cub scout camp, soccer camp, and swim lessons lined up for the summer.
But, today we are just happy to be celebrating our sweet, little, funny Emmy Gray (Val has a different opinion of Emmy- Emerson thinks Val is one of her baby dolls and Val does not like to be carried by one arm or leg). Emerson makes everyone laugh everyday and is always ready to give a kiss to anyone who helps her. We are so glad she's 2.
