Summer is Here!

I’ve been meaning to update the blog for awhile now, but somehow haven’t found the time despite the fact that I finished my PhD courses over a week ago. Yay! Things were pretty crazy the last two months and especially the last few weeks (see the dining room table below, where I spent many, many long hours), but now the summer should be more relaxed. I’ll be working on my preliminary examination paper, but apart from that, just enjoying the summer with Emilia.

Here are some pictures of all the fun we’ve had since my coursework ended.
Emilia trying on her new Keen sandals she and her papa bought while shopping together.

My purses are a favorite toy for Emilia. Here she is swinging a purse over her shoulder and heading to the car to apparently drive herself to work? We’ll have to teach her you don’t go out into the world wearing your pajamas.

Emilia is apparently picking up her papa’s organizational skills. Whenever I dump the clean laundry on the floor, Emilia picks out all her clothes and arranges them neatly on the kitchen floor.
I just really like this photo of Emilia and her papa.

We scored this great Cozy Coupe car at a local garage sale and Emilia has been having a blast pushing her “car-car” around the cul-de-sac.

Tonight we had dinner at our place with some friends and their two kids—ages five and one. Emilia was in heaven! Here she is with Liza.

Then we got out her flamenco shoes (see January 23 post), which are still a little big. She’s already better at walking in heels than her mom!

The kids had so much fun together (in other words, got so dirty) that we decided to throw them all in the bath together at the end of the night.
