Pictures take over the Easter weekend of 2004.

They speak for themselves.

We welcome our second granddaughter into our family, Nora James Edelblute.

She is not getting as much fanfare as our first, Emerson Laine, but that does not minimize our excitement and joy that we have a new member of the family.

I have not posted pictures of my Granddaughter Emi lately, so in the interest of staying somewhat current, here are just a few recent favorites of the many pictures we take.

I really believe she tried to clean up this mess, but she was just having too much fun to finish the job.

I have a feeling this is not going to be my last favorite picture.

She continue to amaze me with her intelligence, awareness and personality

Emi’s first close-up of farm animals in a natural enivornment. I think we had more fun than her just watching her reactions.

This is why being a grandparent is so gratifying.

Janet, David & Sheleana took Emi with them to Janet’s brother John’s burial. It gave Alex & Leon a chance to meet their niece Emerson Laine for the first time.

Emi visiting our house to give her mother a break.

She has an infatuation with our glasses, so, of course, we had to get her a couple for herself.

I took this video of Emi identifying various parts of her face. Such a bright little girl. This very similar to a video that I took of Alex and David where he did the same thing.

We got a call late afternoon from Sheleana telling us that Emi walked for the first time. This was the next week after her first birthday. David even left work to come home to see for himself.
