There were so many photos of the party, that I really had to separate the others from the weekend. We stayed at my parents house in South Carolina, which means that Emma Kate spent most of her waking moments with Grandpa. Besides the time outside and in the bath at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, we also spent some time at Uncle Jay & Aunt Donette’s land and partially finished new home. Emma Kate was surprisingly terrified of a fish that was caught on the shore of the pond. The pictures are proof!

Jadon, Emma Kate’s cousin, had his 3rd birthday party at a gym in Lexington, SC.  Emma Kate (as well as most of the other kids) absolutely loved jumping and running and falling! I think her favorite was the big blowup boxing rink looking thing, though she was also fond of the trampoline! Happy Birthday, Jadon!

If I were asked 2 years ago if a child’s first haircut is a big deal, I would have asked if you were crazy. Now I know better. It was kind of funny (and unexpected) that Alison would want to get Emma Kate’s haircut, and I was the one wanting to postpone it as long as possible. It only lasted 5 minutes and Emma Kate was a doll, but it was odd/hard to see her curls come off. She’s not old enough for this!
