Stair Time

It used to be an every night tradition, now it is about every 3 nights or so, but Emmy has to have her uncle "Wob" stair time before he heads upstairs for the night. These pictures were taken Thursday night after a long day of heat and just getting over the flu. Stair time is very important to her. She is so attached to her uncle and follows him everywhere when he is home. He is the only male figure in her life and she looks up to him so much. She is also a grandpa's girl when we go back to Oregon to visit. My poor mother, she wanted Emmy to be a grandma's girl, but since day one, Emmy has attached herself to my dad! Now that we live in Michigan, she has become such and uncle Rob's girl. It is really cute.

Emmy and I get some time to ourselves for the next couple of days. It is kind of nice to just be able to enjoy some alone time with her. Last night she just wanted to sit on the couch with me and cuddle. It was so much fun. She also gave up giving me kisses and hugs for a while. It broke my heart. Lately, she is back to giving them. I love it so much.

This afternoon we had 4 tornados pass over us. A lot of lightening and a lot of thunder and a TON of rain. The tornados didn't touch down, like usual, but Emmy was just standing in the window and was just amazed. It was fun to watch her. She is going to be like me with storms...just love them! Listening to the rain is such a comfort to me. Reminds me of home. Growing up on the Oregon Coast, you get adapted to the rain!
