Oldies (a few weeks ago), but goodies

Here are a few more pictures of Emma (pre-Christmas)

Fortune and the Fish

Gail is reading the fish fortune instructions.
Depending on how the fish reacts when laid
in your hands, you are either feeling:

in love, jealous, peaceful, or nothing at all..
















Sid was in love.












Mary is in love.


















Corey, in love.



















Calder, in love (with Dad) :-)

















Ella was in love as well, but with her leapster machine, and Pops too.















































While we have no pictures of Gail or me and the fish. I believe we were both in love, or peaceful. Mine was possibly nothing, but I was not feeling very well.....

Merry Christmas 2007

I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to get these wicked good slippers. It was worth the wait. I love them.

The socks I have on are now my FAVORITE socks as well; the right colors, the right weight, the right height.

It wasn't just the glory of perfect presents this Christmas. This little one was the essential piece of the wonderful Christmas puzzle.

Emma was 3 months old 4 days before the big day.

Thank you Sid for the pin.


Speaking of....


















































Having the entire Williamson Family (Pops, Neena, Mary, Corey, Ella and Calder) was a delight and were thrilled that they could all be here.

For pictures of the celebratory dinner and the entire Williamson clan present, see the Merry Christmas dinner entry.







Where the family photos are I don't know.
But, in absence of an entire family picture to wish everyone a final happy holiday, here are Emma and I to do so.

She likes to look right. At anything.








Happy New Year.

Emma opens her eyes- & starts to get saucy

Baby says, I can see that.













Wow, a parrot!


















Good baby.














Watch out for me, says baby.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby Emma says Happy Thanksgiving!

The l'il wonder slept from 10pm-3am and from 3:30am until 8 am. Go girl.

This is good news for mom because she has promised (crazily) to make pear salad, biscuits and cranberry apple pie for Thanksgiving with friends today in Livingston.

Dad gets to have ~4 hours of sleep (coming in from an overnight shift) before turkey and stuffing with friends.

There is snow all over the place here and it feels great.

Life is good.

Pretty in Pink/Rasberry

Go BabyGAP go. As much as I hate to admit it.
She is feet-accessorized by Hannah Anderssen.

Thank you Aunt Linda.

Another trip to the library

I've been picking up videos to watch while I'm nursing. Emma has no choice but to come along. This last outing was a nice day. It was over 2 weeks ago. I am getting behind on the blogging.

That day she looked like an elf. I think it was the hat and the fact I didn't get it down over her ears all the way.

These were actually taken on Halloween day.

There are quite a few pictures of emma with the fire hydrant b/c I liked how the red matched her big bad booties.







































These pictures were taken on a side street near the library. The house in the background is one of my favorite in Bozeman. The architect who re-did the house name is Thor Arnold (great name). He does really interesting things with old barns and has an interesting refurbished/sustainable style. There are solar panels in the back yard. This house he redid for his mother-in-law. Thor is married to the sister of my Pilates instructor. I love that I know this. I love this town.











Below Emma is humoring me and my amateur photography interests.

Happy Halloween!













Baby Pumpkin


We inherited the hat and booties from friends. Linda gave us the festive sleeper suit.















Papa Jas, as we like to call him.













Mamma, the coordinated with Emma, pumpkin witch. Emma and I made a 3 house rounds and got a selection of quality candy, which Emma was impartial too, but the witch loved.

Don't know what happened with the exposure of this; the AUTO feature on our camera is supposed to care of these things...
