The last couple of days have been eventful though, with Grandma and Grandpa Bartlett coming into town. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of that so I will have to wait to get their pictures before I give any more details.
I did, however, get some good pictures of the new shelf we bought and put together yesterday (exciting, I know). Since I stopped working and started being a full-time stay-at-home mom, I have been trying to make our apartment a little more homey and pleasant. In other words, I have switched over from making money to spending it. But that's a whole nother issue. Anyway, here is a picture of the mostly-done shelf and our little baby putting it to some good use.
Lately, since we babysat a two-year-old girl who preferred order to chaos, Emily has been imitating her and working hard to learn how to set up her animals instead of knocking them all over after we set them up for her.Here she just noticed the camera and gave us a proud smile.
And here I've just put the middle shelf in, which made it more difficult for Emily to play, but didn't damper her spirits one tiny bit. What a little trooper!
She's a keeper, she is. Joseph says she looks like a boy in this outfit, so please notice the bow in her hair that you can see in the two top pictures.

I don't think she looks like a boy - and I would know. I think she looks really cute.
Congratulations on your job change, Amanda.
So, I was hanging out with Stephanie's family yesterday, when I was simultaneously attacked by my niece, my nephew, and my cousin, the sum of whom is only 4 years old.
Stephanie just looked over and commented, "I don't think that's healthy for him. Not only that, but he seems to enjoy that way too much."
I'm kind of excited for kids. And that's excited as in a naive way.
