That's right - the Garden of Eden. I was out of town from about Oct. 22-26 at the Western History Association Conference in Salt Lake City, and from Oct 25 - Nov. 1, Julianne and Emmie went to Bellingham, WA to visit Brenden's family. That's right, Bellingham is the promised land - its the Garden of Eden. The first time I took Julianne there in Dec. 2003, she said, "I didn't know people actually lived in places like this! Its like something from a magazine." And, she was right - it is like something from a magazine . . . a really awesome magazine. I also attribute her reaction to the fact that she grew up in the barren wasteland, the veritable lone and dreary wilderness of Arizona.
We weren't scheduled to make another trip to WA until Christmas of 2009, and that would make Emmie 18 months old before any of my aunts, uncles and grandparents would meet her. So, we sent the girls up to hang. Lorinda, Jenna and Cora also came for the week. I was SO jealous.
Here are some Picture from the Trip:
(view all of them HERE)
Emilia really liked swinging with Cora and Jenna
Grandpa Pete and Grandma Linda with their favorite grand-daughter (right guys? right?)
Jenna was Snow White, and everyone else dressed up like dwarves. Cora and Emilia even had little beards drawn on.
Julianne doesn't look too good with facial hair does she . . .
Emmie with Uncle Ken
How precious. This is what I've been saying for years, the girls are always all over Ken. They just can't keep their hands off him.
Either Emmie was feeling camera shy, or her face turned into a maple leaf.
The 3 cousins. I will feel SO sorry for the first boy cousin born into this family. The poor kid - its gonna be rough.
So cute.
Emilia with Great-Grandpa Mel and Great-Grandma Lorraine and their dog Teddi.

Yeah! I've been waiting for you post some pictures from the trip to Bellingham. I'm glad Julianne had fun, but then who wouldn't have fun in Bellingham!!
I only got to see Emmie while she was sleeping :-(. She's a cute sleeper, though.
Every time we see Emilia she keeps getting cuter and cuter. We love the maple leaf pictures. You really have a talent for photography Julianne. Kate says hello and that she can't wait to meet her cousin over Christmas.
