We've had another bit of a drought here for maybe a month or so, so Emma Kate has been helping to water the orchards and some of the gardens. We're trying to keep our watermelon and cantaloupe plants going, since they are still growing some wonderful fruits for us- Emma Kate insisted on doing it herself and did a great job spraying the water all over the plants! Peter was a big help too...

Not sure what she was looking at here, unless Dan was crowing or something... just thought it was a cute little pose! :)
Emma Kate has seen Mommy using the "Ped-Egg" a couple times, and she pulled it out of the drawer and decided to use it herself...
And apparently Burrie needed a bit of a pedicure too! Sooooo cute! :D
All of a sudden Emma Kate decided she wanted to show off all of her individual toys- she must have brought me 10 toys, one at a time, and was excited about each one!


Enjoying a little chocolate chip cookie the girls made one afternoon... Emma Kate likes dark chocolate!! :)
Little chocolate face :)
In other news, we had an ultrasound exam last Thursday, right at 35 weeks along in the pregnancy. Everything looked normal from what they could tell, and they estimated the current weight at 5lbs 12 oz. It's a rough estimate, with at least a pound leeway either direction, but it puts the baby in about the 50th percentile. Glad to hear everything was looking good! They tried to do a 3D picture of the baby's face, but her foot was right up by her nose and it kept coming out looking like she had a big mutant nose!! (Which she for sure doesn't have... thank goodness!!) We'll try to take some pictures of the images to post if they turn out! And we did get confirmation that it's for sure a little girl!! :) I had another regular checkup this afternoon and everything is still good- baby's heart rate was about 150, and so far it seems like Mommy is doing well too!
