Helping in the kitchen

Corn on the cob has become Ember's favorite thing to eat. Grandpa & Grandma Stock brought us corn from the farm during their recent visit.

After watching Grandma Paula peel some corn,
Ember quickly caught on and was able to peel the cob of corn herself.
She's becoming such a big help around the house.

Sunday morning paper

Every Sunday morning Ember helps me sort thru my paper.
Today she pretended the paper was her blankie.

Ember's new pool & waterslide

Ember got a new swimming pool and slide to
make outside play a little more fun.



Watching daddy put the pool together.

water's a little cold, just dippin' my toes in for now.
