Happy 4th of July!

The Cook Clan gathered together to celebrate the 4th. It was 100+ degrees that day, so naturally our water girl wanted to break out the sprinkler!

The Artist

It's a ton of fun encouraging Emma's creative pursuits. Her favorite things at the moment are crayons, stickers, and stamps (and a small foray into finger painting). In an effort to keep these projects on paper instead of the walls and furniture, we bought her a pint size table to do her arts and crafts. She's already created a few masterpieces we'll be hanging on the refrigerator.

One year later ...

What a difference a year makes!

Our little gourmand

Emma has become such a good eater, she's up for trying anything!

Sunday in the Park

We introduced Emma to the poker ladies and their little poker ladies at the Yards Park in DC.

What a ham!

Uh oh, Emma's learning how to take pictures of herself.
