Pomp and circumstance, hi!

Dear Maya and Emi,

Has it been only about a week since mommy posted last? It feels like it's been ages! Every day has been so very, very full--thankfully there have been many fun, pleasant things as opposed to all the hectic, worrisome things in the weeks before!

Bobbie came to visit us on Saturday. We celebrated her graduation with photos, grandma's Italian cooking, and s'more-flavored cupcakes. Later in the day when she left, Grandma and Papa Stan left, too. Mommy thought you'd have a meltdown soon after, Maya, but you were great. Even when we walked to the park on Sunday you were so happy to push the stroller and you listened well. Little did we know that the meltdown would happen on Memorial Day Monday instead!

Little Emi, you've been such a sweetie despite your new tooth and your occasionally interrupted naptimes of late. Your new trick is saying "hi" just about every time someone catches your eye. Yesterday you even held the phone up to mommy's ear and said "hi!" It was the cutest thing ever!

Well, mommy's got to go do some photo editing. Love you both!
