EmJ is 2!

That's right! EmJ is TWO!
Her birthday was Monday - May 26th - also Memorial Day. A very special thank you to all the troops past and present who are serving our country... we can't say thanks enough.
EmJ got this computer from Daddy and Mama and this princess table (just her size!) from Grandma Chuck. She loves them!
The computer was definitely a great idea (thanks, Becki!) - obviously EmJ likes it. :o) This picture makes me laugh because it's clear that she's concentrating and Jeff looks just like this when he's doing something on the computer... haha!
EmJ in her awesome new KU hat playing with her new baby. Thank you to everyone for all the presents.... she was very blessed. And she is LOVING her new stuff!
We had to have another cupcake on her actual birthday - and sing again because birthdays are the best! And because at the party our video camera was dead, so we needed to record it! ;)
The frosting mustache! :o)
Half of it showed up when she took a bite, but the other half was added with a little help from Papa... hee hee

Playin' with fun new stuff!
Dancing with Daddy...
so stinkin' cute!
And one more thing...

Yep... we've started potty training - pray for us! :o)

EmJ has been showing a LOT of interest in the potty, so I thought I owed it to her to try actual potty training... we're giving it a week or so and then we'll re-evaluate. No, I definitely don't expect her to be potty trained in a week - I just want to see if she really is interested enough to learn right now. She did go potty in the actual potty yesterday... so that's awesome! We'll keep you posted on how it goes!
