Did I say I would post vacation pictures every night? Haha. Ahem. I clearly meant to say that I would post vacation pictures about once a month or so, as time permits. The English language can be troublingly imprecise.
Though we do still have many great vacation shots to post, please allow me to intersperse these lovely photos:
Emma chose this ensemble entirely on her own, then came to me and said “Bye mommy! I’m a go to work. Help people feel better.”
Help people feel better is the way Andrew and I have tried to explain my job to Emma. It is mostly true, I suppose. And really, who wouldn’t feel better upon meeting this amazing child, great clompy boots and all?

Hard to believe that a week ago, we were in Colorado. Well, actually, a week ago we were in Wyoming. But I’m doing this is chronological order. So, here we are at Steamboat Lake, in Colorado.
It was a perfect day.
As always, Emma was looking very fashionable.
The beauty (”beauty”) of West Philly just cannot compare.
Emma on top of the world. Is there any other way to travel?
I will try to post new vacation pictures every night until… well, until we run out of pictures, I suppose.

In one part, evidently. This is a favorite picture from my birthday that we just never got around to posting. Emma, who flouted physician-recommended cake-to-toddler ratios during the celebration, seems to be engaged in a conversation on what I believe is a small remote control.

Emma’s favorite meal, the one she requests most nights and orders at every restaurant (whether it appears on the menu or not), is a chicken curry dish from a neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant that she refers to simply as “chicken and rice.” It was, of course, the meal she ate on her second birthday. Here she is showing us her proficiency with chopsticks (if you define proficiency as “coming exceedingly near to poking out an eye, knocking over a decanter of water, and generally causing low-level chaos”).

Neither persistent teething misery, nor a ceaselessly running nose, no, nor lung-wracking wet hacking cough, nor even a napless afternoon are enough to snuff the thrill of being Birthday Girl.
My brilliant Emma is Two Years Old.

Can she eat it all in one bite?
No, she cannot. She is, however, more willing to sit for a picture when there’s cupcake to be eaten.

The plan was to take a picture of Emma and Christine together out on the porch, but Emma was not in the mood to sit for a picture. This is her stand-off face. She manages to look willful yet adorable, which means that her parents usually yield. You may imagine Christine sitting off to the side, looking on tiredly (but with love!).

I had to sneak in a face-washing before Emma went to bed; she would have been content to sleep like this.
