Ok, buckle in for some picture updates! Again, I managed to load them in backwards order...

Here's Gretta all dressed up and ready to go! (Our friend Catherine made the girls knit hats, and Mimi grabbed Emma's for Gretta, but it was sooo cute! She looked like a little 20's flapper)

Gretta with PopPop
Either that scale is waaaay off, or that sweater is really really heavy!! :)
Shopping- Emma Kate has always enjoyed browsing stores and has been so good about looking at things and then putting them back, never asking to take anything home. Well, today I found this little toy like one she had so enjoyed in the hospital, and I told her to take it to the counter so we could buy it. Just mere seconds later, she said "buy-it!" several times... uh oh!
She got such a kick out of the frog bog at the aquarium
Now THAT's a happy baby... :)
Arts and crafts time- RMH has a fully stocked and incredible art room- it is a blast for adults too!
Reading with Aunt Val

Swimming polar bear- these things are HUGE!! She was going around and around in the current, splashing backwards into the water
Hiding in the tunnel
Our little lost polar bear baby has found its mother! Good thing there was some mighty thick plexiglass between them though...
