Exactly Two



This video was taken when Emma turned exactly two years old - June 19th 2007, 11:23am. It was a lot harder to get than last years picture, now that she can (and does) run away every time we need her to stand still for two seconds. It's a good thing she got stuck up on those bars, so Mom could capture the moment.

She's such a big girl now, and so funny lately. Tammy keeps a book of all the hilarious things she comes up with, and all the new tricks she learns each day, and the entries just keep getting more and more entertaining.

We measured how tall she was that day because height experts say that you are half your adult height at age two. She came in at 34 3/4", which means she'll be about 5'-9 1/2" by the time she's done growing. That seems tall for a girl, but it's still not as tall as her Auntie Sam.

Later that night we took her out for some pizza at BP's and she got to share in the biggest dessert her eyes have ever seen. It was only the second or third time she's ever had ice cream, but she hasn't stopped requesting it for supper every night since.

We sure love our little girl, and can't wait for her to become a big sister in February.

Whoa! Big sister in February?! You'll have to congratulate her parents for us! Big news, indeed.

Mighty fine news indeed! Indeed!

I'd invest in snow tires. Driving on rural roads in February while your wife is in labor is a talent in itself. That is of course if you're still packing up shop and heading to Carstairs.

If not, I'd just buy two city bus passes that month, and then just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Congrats you guys! That's what I've always liked about you Mike, you just throw in a seemingly nonchalant comment at the end that says you're expecting. We're exctied for you

I know a guy in the tire industry. You should chat with him about your automotive needs. He'll help you decide between mudder tires or bus passes.
