Colorado Adventures

It's been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry for the lack of information. Anyways, we've all been in Colorado since Nov. 17th. We left Hawaii on November 13th, flying on a military flight to Sacramento. Emi didn't mind this flight, though it was annoying because when we first got on, it was like a sauna, and then when we got in the air it was FREEZING, and then we'd get occasionally bursts of heat that only hit half our bodies. Even so, Emi slept for about an hour or two of the five hour flight and the rest of it, she made faces at the other passengers. At the hotel in Sacramento, Emi was fine for the first two days, but then she started to decide that she was gonna stay up later and we didn't get to sleep until 1am. That was fun. The next flight was on the 17th and was a commercial flight. Emi slept in my lap while I slept and Ray read his book. We woke up just before we were about to land. It was nice.

Once we were in Colorado, my sister Amber and my best friend Sandy, along with her mom, picked us up. We went to my mom's house. Met Snuffie. Got situated. Emi pulled Mary's (Sandy's mom) dentures out of her mouth, which made us all laugh. Since then we've gone bowling with friends and family, seen Twilight, had Thanksgiving dinner at Ray's mom's home, and today we will be going up to Central City to gamble. It should be fun.

I'll give more details when I don't have to focus on homework, but till then, Enjoy Emi in Snow!

One Too Many Strings Pulled...

Sorry that there hasn't been much said since the 1st. This last week and a half has just been one thing after another. And all right before we head off to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It's made me so stressed that my hair is falling out, quite literally. Though not to the point that I'll be going bald any time soon. Thick hair is a blessing and a curse.

Anyways, here's what's going on. We've ALL been sick with pretty much the same thing. The vog (if you don't know what that is, it is volcanic ash in the air that makes it oh so fun to breathe) came in and our throats got all closed up and scratchy. My voice sounded amusing to Ray for awhile. We all still have a bit of a cough, but nothing that's overly unmanagable. We're currently working on getting things squared away here so there is nothing unpleasant that we have to return to after our vacation. Mostly just cleaning and organizing and tying up loose ends.

Other than that, Emi is doing very well. She's gotting quite tall or long, whichever you decide to use. It just amazes me. I am sure everything that happens to her and that she does will always amaze me, but still. She's gotten so long that today when I was taking a nap and Ray was watching Emi, she was laying on the couch next to him and suddenly kicked the back of the couch. She did a flip and landed belly down on the floor. She didn't hurt herself, which was a relief to me, but once again, another thing is put on the list that she is not allowed to do without strict conditions.

On Thursday, Emi will get her next set of shots, which I am sure she is looking forward to. I am going to be upset about the whole thing once again, but at least she'll be that much more immune to whatever we might run into in Colorado. We can't wait to go home, but we know that things will be interesting with Emi with the time difference and the fact that we will no longer be sea level. Hopefully this won't complicate things too much.

And I'm sure you've all been waiting for this part, but here are some recent pictures of Emi:

Our Little Butterfly Princess

Alright, so today was Halloween, so obviously we dressed Emilee up. I'm just happy that I found a costume that I thought was cute and was inexpensive. Five dollars! *cheers*

So here is our little Emi Monkey as a Butterfly Princess!!
