Happy 4th of July

We all celebrated over at the Pope's this year! Lots of fireworks and a fire truck later(which had nothing to do with the fire works- but Grandma Pope will not be lighting candles in the bathroom anymore)...

Emerson had her first squirt gun fight. Not sure who won, but Granny managed to nail her upside the head (take a look to the right).

The Melting Pot - Rocky River!

For the past few weeks we have gone out to the new Melting Pot in WestGate and have been taking pictures. Check them out in the Melting Pot Gallery. As of now it is set to open sometime in September! Our latest walk through allowed us to see most of the walls sheetrocked. On the flip side- the UPS man has been to our house every morning before 10:00 delivering fabric samples! Eric is too excited... it is finally almost here!

14 Months!

The past two months have been crazy and quick to fly by (thus preventing the posting of updates). Best news is that Emerson's surgery for her eye was cancelled! Her eye doctor insisted we would need it and we went ahead and scheduled it... but after a month of eye massage- she is perfect! Over the past two months Emerson has taken to running (really fast), climbing (and standing atop everything), talking (pretty, cracker, doggie, book are her favorite) and swimming! You cannot drag the girl away from a pool! She got some spiffy new bangs and a couple more teeth. Summer is going to rock and with The New Melting Pot in Rocky River opening in September things are going to get a whole lot crazier! Check out all the pics...

Happy Birthday Emerson

Emerson had an awesome birthday! She had two cakes (because our homemade Elmo cake was questionable at best) and decided she would rather massage them than eat them. She started out with her first birthday donut and got two really cool presents from mom and dad (her playhouse and climber). The rest of the day was a lot of fun, since everyone came to visit and play! Thanks to all- we all had a really great day!

Hello Fiona!

Congrats to Sully and Nik on beautiful Fiona... go to welcometothesullivans.blogspot.com and see!

11 months!

Only one more month and WOW! Emerson is walking now. Crawling is used in moments of frustration... but for the most part she is completely upright (although she has moments of looking a little drunk). Jager and her have found a common ground: string cheese. So their relationship is improving with each cheese stick opened. Emerson will be spending St. Patrick's Day with Grandma Mac and hopefully next year she can go out for a green milk! Congrats to Baby Owen being born healthy and happy!
