Well, as of June 23rd, Emma can tie her shoes by herself! We were very excited about it! James said that they were getting ready that morning and Emma brought out her tennis shoes and asked to wear them to school. James told her she couldn't wear them to school unless she could tie them all by herself. So my little Emma went back in her room, put the shoes on, tied them and then went out to show James! I guess when she wants something bad enough, she will try till she gets it.

We had fun at Sturgis Falls walking in the parade with the Heartland Vineyard Church float. Before the parade started, the church was handing out free hotdogs and hamburgers and Emma had fun helping James and our friends Del and Lynn Hoth get them ready to go!

Our other excitement was Emma's Gymnastics Fun Meet today. Emma had fun once they got started. There was a lot going on to begin with and she got a little upset because she didn't know what to do and I think she got scared with all the people crowding her. But once she got out on the floor with the other girls for stretching, she was fine. She was very excited about her medal and t-shirt and bag of goodies :)




We also went and picked up most of her school supplies tonight, so she had fun picking out her notebook and folder and backpack for Kindergarten. I can't believe it's time for school already! Where did the time go? Wasn't she just in diapers.......she's growing up so fast!
