Emmy's first easter

Well, today was Emmy's first Easter in America. first, we got up at 8 a.m. and the Easter bunny brought her a basket of candy and a couple of her favorite Nick Jr. shows on DVD

She wore a sailor's dress she got from her Aunt B and we went to see Mema at Golden Years before heading to a packed house at Palm Street Church of Christ.

After services, a egg hunt was held for the children in the church. Emmy didn't know what to think at first but when Justin W showed her there was candy in the eggs, she was all about it!

After Church, we went to Nana's house in Carlisle for an awesome lunch and visited with Nana, Aunt Janice, Uncle Jim, Dad, Carole, Clay and Uncle Dickey. We had a great time. It was a lot of fun.

After that, Emmy slept on the way home and took a two hour nap. Now if I can only get her down for bed!

Oh, by the way, it was 16 years ago tonight, I was in Charlotte, NC watching the Hogs win the NCAA basketball title. My, how times have changed. Some in a better way (Linda and Emmy) others in not such a good way...like the Hogs bball team being horrid.

Emmy's first haircut

Sorry it took so long to get these photos on here but Emmy had her first American haircut on March 24, 2010 at Salon 305 in Cabot. Debbie Hutslar has cut Mark's hair since 1995 after he returned from college in Fayetteville.

Debbie was wonderful with Emmy. Emmy didn't cry any except for when Ms. Becky was using electric clippers on her client. I guess it scared Emmy and reminded her of when she had her head shaved in the orphanage.

Hope you all have a great Easter. We'll share more photos soon.

Love to all

Mark, Linda and Emmy
