Happy Birthday, Aunt Kristen!

Emma and I went to Jason and Kristen's apartment last Sunday (the 7th) to celebrate Aunt Kristen's birthday with our extended family. We went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch, where Emma got her own cowgirl hat and posed for pictures atop a real saddle! Back at the apartment, Emma napped easily before we all enjoyed a little cake (and, as you can tell from the look of Emma's face in the first picture, Hershey's Kisses!).

Our little scientist!

Todd has started volunteering at our local science/history museum, "The Works." For a small town, it sure has a lot to offer! Emma and I were able to go visit for a couple hours, free of charge. We spent most of our time in the "Tyke Lab," an area for kids 6 and under. It has a Farmer's Market (with scales to weigh fruits and vegetables), a puppet theater (modeled after our local theater, The Midland), an eye doctor's office, a fun mirror, and lots of other things to explore. Now Emma's saying, "Can we go back to Daddy's museum?"
