Emilia Scrapbook Pages


I have decided to start sharing my scrapbooks over the web through the use of Photobucket. If you click on View All it will take to the site to view the layouts of Emilia a little more throughly than watching the slideshow on the blog. These layouts are what I have worked on the past couple of months. As you can see I am behind on her book as I just scrapped Halloween. I hope to have it back up to date by her 2nd birthday!

It's No Joke...




Here it is April 1st 2010 and Emilia is swimming in her kiddie pool and laying out on our Deck IN MICHIGAN! We reached 80 degrees on this fine April Fools Day which is definitely out of the ordinary. We enjoyed the nice warm day outside in the sun playing in the back yard. She worked very hard to get that corner of her Tinker Bell towel laying properly.


I took Emilia to see the Easter Bunny at the Woodland Mall on April 1st. She did not like this bunny at all. In her defense though he was not a very good bunny. Just sat there with his hands in his lap unlike the Florida Bunny we saw last year. So I had to sit with her in order to get her picture taken. I should have just said forget it but we got the picture anyway.

We hosted our first Easter lunch at our house this year. We had invited Herm's Parents and Roberta which Grandpa Siegel decided not to come, Granny and Grandpa, My brother Brad and his wife Margaret along with my nephew Xavier. The rest of my family was in Florida for Easter. We broke out and used our "Fancy" China for the first time. Nothing like drinking Mt. Dew out of a crystal goblet. We have had this stuff for almost three years so it felt good to finally use the dishes as I like them a lot but not for everyday. In hindsight I really don't need the stuff and should have used the money for something different. I probably wouldn't have bought it if we didn't receive the one place setting at our wedding that I couldn't return as I didn't have the receipt so off we went to buy the other 11 place settings but we got them at a good deal as they were closing the Michigan Mikasa Stores. Oh Well...can't take them back now so I might as well use them.

Emilia had a good Easter. She found her Easter basket right away filled with 2 new movies and a bag of M&M's. Overall we had a great Easter and hope that everyone else did too!
