Emily's bed...she is finally big enough to sleep in here.
Emily seems to like to play and sit in here....
Seanie thinks he needs to protect his sister in her big bed.
Sean and Emily enjoy their ride on the boat while teaching Uncle Robby to water ski. Uncle Robby brought Seanie home from FL. Robby's girlfriend Nikki came to visit also.
Emily is hanging out on the beach waiting for Uncle Robby and Nikki to get done with their wave runner rides. Robby and Nikki live in FL and do not participate in watersports until they come to IL.
Emily rolled over several times this day. She is going to be on go from now on. Emily started to crawl backwards today....




Cute 4th of July outfit from Miss Elliot. This does not look safe place for a baby to ride. At least her hat won't blow away and she can't throw her binki overboard.
First Cheerios. Emily is not so sure what she should do with it.

Getting ready for the Sandbar Party. Auntie Jackie came over with Evie to spend the afternoon with Emily.
The kiddie pool closed for awhile so we walked along the path next to the Charles River. Alex and Sean were trying to walk on stones in the water while canoers and kyakers and rowers went by. Shannon, Emily, Sherie and Elliot in front of the Charles River.
Uncle Ben and Emily play in the grass while waiting for the ice cream truck.
On the way home we went through PA so we could go to the Hersey Factory. The whole town smells like chocolate. It is wonderful. If you lived there you would be in heaven 24/7.
The kids all got to be Factory workers in the Hersey Kiss assembly line and they even received their own employee badges. Emily liked the conveyor belt with all the silver scrolling past.

Emillot tried to wear their matching outfits, but the timing was off. This is Elliot's 1st birthday 7-7-7.
Elliot goes to sing along every Saturday so Emily and I went along while the boys and Auntie Sherie got ready for the big birthday party from 12p-1p. The lady next to Uncle Ben asked if they were sisters. Because of their age ... impossible....because of their size...understandable. They do look alot alike which is like Auntie Sherie's baby pictures. These bronze/gold plated ducks are in the park in Boston. Sherie said that the Queen of England liked them so much she had some put on the palace grounds in England. The Queen was unhappy because they were not "shiney" like they are in Boston. So she had the guards shine them with their hiney like the children in Boston do.
Of Course we had to have our picture taken under the famous Cheers sign. Unfortunately there was not a Sam or Diane at the bar this evening.
Trying once again to get Emillot to wear their matching outfits from grandma. What cute girls who were tried of having their pictures taken.

Niagra Falls, July 6th Seanie and Emily are getting sprayed by the water from the falls. Did you know that a 25 ft CrisCraft would make it through the rapids and over the falls? To a 7 yr old that is a miracle.

Happy 4th of July Party at Veteran's Acres Park in Crystal Lake. Emily's first experience in the grass.
Happy 4th of July parade in Wonder Lake. Seanie was in the parade with Tiger Scouts so the rest of us watched from the corner.

Little girls dressed in Cherries.
