lucia soccer fun

this spring we put lucia on a new team with two girls she has become good friends with. . she is loving it! and her crazy litttle sister the photo bomber:)

'

And just like that she is FIVE!

Our baby is five. . you are kidding me.  How do I describe Emery at Five -
LOUD, Swings big in emotions, SOCIAL (almost every friend we have in Portland met Emery first), Bursting with affection, no personal space, LOUD, spiritual leader of the family, Outgoing, party planner, silly, LOUD, loves all little creatures - especially worms and ants,

We celebrated Emery for a full week - 2 family parties and a small spokane friend party.
