Thanks Aunt Kam!

We broke out the Hug and Hide Owl that Aunt Kam gave us. So cute!

I swear she likes it... but I had to take a lot of pictures to get the one above. Most of them were like this. :)

Happy Birthday Ian!

 

Today is Ian's 28th birthday. I can't imagine going through parenthood without someone exactly him. He's supportive, helpful and patient. He still answers my "sanity check" phone calls when we are having a rough day. :)

 

 

He worries right along with me... within reason. He is more than happy to spend his time playing the Attack Emma with Sheepy game... or the Get Emma to Smile at all Costs game. He's a great dad and a wonderful husband.

 

 

Happy 28th Ian! Love you!

 

 

 

Little Boxer

Put your dukes up!

 

 

 

Easy Rider

I'm so thankful Emma likes riding in her car seat. The more trips we take the better she reacts to being buckled in.

 

 

First picture is pre-sneeze. :)

 

 

Turning the Camera Around

Emma was being super cute one morning...

 

 

Then I turned the camera around so she could see herself. :)

 

 

Lol...

 

 

Suspicious of the cute baby...

 

 

New Football Fan

It's draft day! Emma's indoctrination starts now. :P

 

 

Here is Ian conspiring with Emma to convert her to a Patriots fan. Boooo.

 

 

Ball of Goo

Emma turns into a ball of goo when sleeping in her swing. :)

 

 

A silly ball of goo...

 

 

And after her nap... success!

 

 

TableTop Fun: Tsuro

We are backing our first Kickstarter game. It is called Among The Stars - it's 7 Wonders meets Alhambra. Can't wait for it to arrive in September! So for May's game we choose something that is on the lower end of the price scale... a pathing game called Tsuro.

 

From BoardGameGeek:

Tsuro has an Asian spiritual theme - the lines representing the "many roads that lead to divine wisdom", and the game as a whole representing "the classic quest for enlightenment".

This may make the game sound relaxing but it's really not. The object is to guide your dragon token on a series of path tiles, avoid running off the board or into other dragons and be the last one left. You end up saying "Can't go that way, that will kill me" a lot. I have yet to win. :P

 

Here is the obligatory Emma sitting on the game board picture...

 

 

Really Mom? More pictures?

 

Sheep Attack

This is what happens when daddy works from home and is easily amused. :P
