Emma Sings

This is a little video of Emma singing "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty. It's a little quiet, as she is a bit shy and this is a "soft" song for her..LOL

Ascii Frank...Or...Franscii!!!

If you don't know what "ASCII art" is you have failed at Nerdery 101...shame on you! I revoke the tape on your glasses and your pocket protector!

Oh, heck, I'll just tell you what it is via wikipedia. Clicky!

Anyway, a coworker of Frank's made him in ASCII art form! And here it is. (Click on it to get the full effect.)

BLARG

Turns out I have a sinus infection...I finally went to the Dr after being sick for an entire month. So hopefully I will feel well in a few days after the antibiotics start to kick some ass.

The Artist Currently Known as Emma

Emma learned how to draw smiley faces several months ago and as time has gone by the get more and more detailed, it's awesome. I think she can draw better than me. (That's not hard to do, all I can draw is a very basic cat head.)

Her favorite person to draw is her DaDa. Here are two pictures she drew of him. One was before our trip to MA and the other was on the plane ride home.

The first one is on our bedroom wall (still...LOL...I'm lazy) in sidewalk chalk. You can see Frank's crazy hair and glasses also notice his beard. It's my favorite drawing she's ever made, and I couldn't cut the dry wall out and keep it, I am sure my apartment manager wouldn't have liked that.

Another thing I noticed last night was that Emma draws stick people the way Amy did as a child. With the arms and legs coming right out of the head...I LOVE that! Emma has a little Amy in her! YAY! lol

Halloween 2007

Halloween started for us around 5pm. We all carved pumpkins, had a lot of fun digging the "guts" out of the pumpkin. Sam LOVED that term..GUTS. LOL What 8 year old boy wouldn't! We then went to the local church for a "trunk or treat" but by the time we got there everyone had left. So Emma went trick or treating with Grampa, they had a good time. We then had pizza and watched Halloween.


We had fun with Kira, we put her among pumpkins, but that wasn't good enough....

So we put her IN a pumpkin.
And here is the array of characters we had this year. Sam was a dead Ninja, complete with bloody throwing stars in his chest. Tyler was Bat Boy...very cute. And the cutest of all was Emma and Kira, as ladybug and bumblebee! Our little bugs.

4th Halloween for Emma

If you click the picture I believe you can see a larger view...but here is Emma Belle in all her Halloween costumes through out her years.

This sweet little video has a story behind it, so let me explain LOL

The other evening Emma brought me Frank's tie and belt and asked me to put them on her. So I did. She then took the baby monitor, placed it on top of Frank's guitar amplifier stand as if it were a microphone and podium. She explained to me that she was a teacher and she wanted me to be in her class. So I stood by her and watched and THIS is what she did! She gave me and animated speech that began by a dramatic clearing of her throat...So I got the camera and video taped her doing another speech, she did about a dozen speeches on various topics, from Sesame Street, to candy, to all of her cousins...LOL!

I LOVE HER IMAGINATION!!!
