4 years old, Where does the time go?

Emily's 4 year check up was a huge success!

Weight: 36 lbs = 58%
Height: 3' 5 1/4" inches = 80% (Oh Yeah!)

Unfortunately she did have to get 4 shots, but she was such a trooper and didn't cry until the very last one, the MMR, the nurse said that everyone cries with that one because it stings really bad, with that Emily got to have 2 stickers when we were done. We are very proud of her! :)

Emily really loves science, she even asked for a telescope for her birthday, Aunt Sue got her a telescope/mircoscope for a present and she loves it. She can't wait for it to get warm out so she can ride her scooter on the sidewalks. She is still a nonstop chatter box and loves to tell stories, long stories. :) She still wont eat eggs, but will try chicken every now and then, which is a step forward. She knows all her letters, upper and lower case, and we are working on the sounds they make. And also practicing writing them. She still loves going to Miss Norma's house everyday, she is now the older kid in the house and loves to teach and help with all the little ones.

Her hemangioma is still in the same stage it has been for a few years, meaning it still has active blood flow. She is still on her Propranalol and will have another steroid treatment in April. We are just waiting for the "trigger" to turn off in her body so the hemangioma will stop. But for now it is a waiting game, and you can't even tell it is there most days due to the medication. :)

I vow to keep this blog updated more often now that it will be Spring and we can get out a do more things. Check back soon!

Fishy!

With all the bad luck with the fishbowl. Aunt Kristin sent Emily a new fish tank. Tonight we get to go pick out new fish. Hopefully they will last more than two days.

This is Baby Beth

When my Grandma Beth was little this was her doll. She named it Baby Beth. My mommy and Aunt Kristin played with her too when they were a little girl. Now it is my turn. I take good care of her and she sleeps with me in my big girl bed.

Renaissance Festival

We took an impromptu trip to the Renaissance Festival on Sunday. We had a great time. Grama Jan came before she went back home to Reed City. Mom and Dad were nice enough to buy me a dress-up costume and headband. I also got my hand dipped in wax. With purple sparkles. I love purple, it's my favorite color.

Leusby Vacation 2010


Wow! What a busy time we've been having. I love having Dad home for the summer. We go swimming and go for bike rides. Last week Mom took time off work and we went on a vacation. We drove far far away to Reed City to visit Grama Jan and Poppa, and Grandpa. Dad did a lot of fishing with Grandpa and I did my own fishing with Grama, Poppa, and Mom. We also took a day trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I got to climb the BIG hill and went to the beach, I want to go back!!

Dad's Big Fish!


My Fish!

Kids say such cute things!

Em: Mom, I want to play tennis?

Mom: That would be nice Em, but we don’t have any rackets.

Em: Do you have one at work?

Mom: No?

Em: You have a mouse at work.

Mom: Yes, I know. I use it to do my job.

Em: What is your job?

Mom: I draw on a computer and make pretty pictures.

Em: With pencils or crayons?

Mom: I use the mouse to draw on the computer.

Em: Oh, ok mom. But you don’t have a racket at work?

Mom: no, honey, sorry
