On Friday, Megan, me & Emma went to Mall of America. Megan needed to get a few things for her honeymoon coming up. We took Emma to the Rainforest Cafe for her first time. I thought that it would be kind of fun for her to experience. She absolutely LOVED it!!!
Megan, this one is for you!
Here is Megan & Emma walking out to the car.
Here are some pictures of Emma since Sept. 30th. I don't have much time to blog so here are some updated pics for now:
Here is Emma at her cousin Natalies 11th b'day party. 
Emma cuddling up to a HUGE stuffed animal.
Here is Emma waiting for cousin Justin to march by in CF Homecoming parade.
Let's see, the beginning of Sept. we took Emma to the Como Zoo for her 1st time. I was so excited because going to the como zoo was something we did growing up quite a bit. She would look at some of the animals and just stare, not quite sure what she was thinking.
We went to the conservatory, it is so beautiful! Here are some pics from there.
Here is daddy and emma checking out some plants.
Here is a pic I took of grandma tammy and emma, kind of cute.
Derek was in a demo in Balsam Lake, WI on Sept. 1st. He took 8th place out of 27. I think he did pretty darn good on his first demo!
We left after the demo and headed straight up to Perham, MN to my Uncle Chad's parent's cabin. We will NEVER do that much driving in one weekend, let alone ONE DAY!
Here is our stop at St. Cloud to get Emma some food. She was "driving" when I got back out to the truck.
Here is Auntie Megan, Emma and Jezzabel.
Here is Emma on the hammock, she really didn't know what in the world to think.
Here is a pic. of Emma and Cousin Ali have a bath. (I hope it's okay to have these kind of pics. on blogs?)
My mom brought Emma home one day last week, it was one of those days that was pretty chilly out. Well, My mom had a cute, but funky looking hat on her. Kind of cute.
Here is Emma and Tommy.
Emma is chasing Tommy, which happens on a daily basis!
Here is Emma's 1st time with Blueberries, just thought it was kind of cute!
Emma will be 10 months on Sunday, I can't believe where the time went!!
A few weeks ago, we bought Emma her first piano. It has probably been the best thing we have bought her yet. She LOVES it. She still likes to play Mom's thou. . . . 
We we to visit Evan & Emily (&Jeremy) I believe Aug. 24. It was cute as can be to see Emma's reaction, I an not quite sure what she was thinking. But, I know they will be good buddies.
Here is Emma when we got home that day. She must have been so tired out from all the play. Notice how relaxed she is. . .
Here is cousin Ali and Emma playing some tunes on the paino.
Here is Emma in her highchair, thought it was kind of cute.
Stay tuned for hopefully more udpates today!Okay, I have decided to try and catch up with things. During the first week of August (yes, August) cousin Sam came to stay the week and babysit Emma while we were working. Emma absolutly LOVED it!! Sam, come back whenever you want!!
This is Emma back in August. It is so hard to believe at that 7 1/2 months at that time, she is playing like she is. Here is is digging in her toy box.
Here is Emma and Daddy down at her Great-grandparent's house. She was helping her great-grandpa Alva open some of his b'day gifts. I can't wait until her b'day, she is going to have a blast! (I guess she had the same shirt on that day.)
Okay, I have about a month and a half to catch up with. I am on a mission to do that ASAP. So keep watch for new posts hopefully by the end of the day!!
