Isn't it GREAT?!

Emalyn, since being in Utah, has been able to meet and spend some time with Great Grandma Simpson and Great Grandpa Packard. They just thought she was soooo adorable. Grandpa Packard spent a lot of the time just trying to get her to look at him but she was pretty focused on her mommy. Can you blame her? haha. just kidding! And Grandma Simpson had to deal with a little fussiness from her hungry tummy. Overall though they loved it!
We went to the Kaufman cabin a couple weeks ago and it was definitely needed, especially for Doug. The guys played golf and the girls went shopping. We went on some hikes and enjoyed time in the mountains. Emalyn got to meet some more of her cousins and somewhat play with the closest one, Phillip. They were so cute!

Busy, busy, busy! Part-time school, full-time baby, cleaning, cooking, rehearsing, managing, and so forth - we are just busy bees. Doug's play, "Houseboat Honeymoon", will run the week before Thanksgiving and the first week of December. He is rehearsing like crazy for his LEAD part in it. I am so proud! :) He let me know though that the next play he tries out for that I am trying out with him. That will be fun and funny.
School, though part-time, is keeping us busy. Doug goes in the mornings, and I go in the evenings. Hence, Emalyn gets good quality daddy time. yea! They are so cute together too.
Emalyn is still doing her growing thing. She will be 6 months on November 3rd! wow!! She rolls over from her tummy to her back sometimes but is still working on the back-to-tummy roll. She can almost sit-up all by herself. She is our little talker though. Goodness, can that girl talk! It's sooo funny, but Doug doesn't think so when it's 3 o'clock in the morning and we can hear her loud jabbers from across the house.
