Swimming Lessons

Emerson took swimming lessons for two weeks at the Kent City pool this summer. She was much more willing to put her face in the water, put her head under, and more comfortable swimming than she was last year! Miss Sarah was a great teacher :-)

Meeting Cousin Maggie

We traveled to Chicago to meet Emerson's newest cousin Maggie this spring and see big brothers Noah and Koen.  Emmie spent lots of time snuggling with and holding Maggie--good practice for this soon-to-be big sister!

Emerson picked out a stuffed dog to buy for Maggie that is identical to one that she has. She knew she loved hers and thought Maggie would too :-)

Spring Soccer

Emerson played AYSO spring soccer this year for the first time. She was on the U5 team with a few of her buddies and our friends Pedro and Mike as her coaches.  They learned lots of basics at their weekly practices and ended each practice with a little scrimmage against each other or against the parents.  She had lots of fun but says next year she wants to play basketball instead :-)
