Ember Turned 3!! March 22, 2006!!! Here she is with the famous Elmo Cake!
I never seem to manage to get the picture of them holding hands. They do so love to hold hands - Ember sometimes pulls too hard or too fast, but Orion loves being with his big sister, and Ember loves taking care of her little brother. Here is our movie star daughter keeping a low profile on the street in case anyone should recognize her and accost her for an autograph.
Here is a pic from last summer, I've since shaved the beard and regrown it. Ember no longer fits into her "Gucky" suit. She was a sunflower for halloween last year, but I don't know that we ever got a picture!

Below are pictures from our trip to the N.C. coast. Hopefully that beach is still there after Ophelia.

Ember calls my father "Paw paw," and here they are playing with one of her favorite games. She has assigned one of the boards to each member of the family. She is holding hers, Dad is holding Orion's.
