We're having family portraits taken tomorrow, and Rachel is currently making some last minute wardrobe coordination decisions. Should we go with the yellow shirts/outfits, or the blue/purple combination? I had no idea this could be such a stressful decision. We even looked on the portrait studio's site at their wardrobe tips, but that didn't seem to resolve anything (though I did learn that a scoop or V-neck is more flattering if you have a "full" face). Rachel just came this close to calling her friend Allison for an emergency fashion consultation, but decided to wait until morning (note the time of this post below). Will we find the perfect outfits for our photo shoot? I'm sure we will. I have full confidence in Rachel's fashion sense. We'll keep you updated on how the photo shoot goes, and maybe even post the results here (if it doesn't violate too many copyright laws).

Emma has learned to say "uh oh", sometimes at random, but occasionally she'll get the timing right, and say it when something falls over, etc. However, her latest trick comes during dinner time. She likes to pick up a handful of whatever she's eating, throw it on the floor, then look at us and say "uh oh!" So, we find ourselves saying "it's not uh oh if you throw it" to her quite a lot these days.

If you notice, each post on this site has a "comments" link below it. This is where you can leave any thoughts or feedback you have for us.

In March of this year we took a trip to Utah to visit Josh's family and old friends. Here are some photos from the trip. Click on the thumbnail to view a larger version of the photo.
