We went to the playground the other day and the girls discovered this slide was loaded with static electricity. Livi's hair showed it better and was way funnier than Juli's.

Happy 4 Months, Miss Emmi!
It's so hard to believe that Emmi is already 4 months old as of the 25th! She's a good baby. She's happy most of the time. She's basically happy unless she's hungry and then she turns to Angry Emmi. She goes from Happy to Angry Emmi in about 60 seconds. Which is kind of funny because she doesn't eat much. She's still only eating 4 oz at a time.
Here's Happy Emmi:

We went to the doctor for her 4 month well visit and so the girls could get their flu shots. Here's Emmi's stats for the month:
Weight 13lb 2oz
Height 24.5in long
She loved all the attention at the doctor's office. She smiled and cooed. She even rolled over on cue. This kid is a pip. She did great with her shots too. Her reaction was delayed enough that I wasn't even sure she was going to cry. She was just smiling and staring at me for about 30 seconds before she started screaming bloody murder. Poor thing. At least it was just her. I got smart this time and sent the two big girls out of the room while she got her shots so they didn't cry and get scared with her like they did last time. (No shots for them, they got the nasal mist for the flu shots.)

Cherry Crest Adventure Farm
Last week we took a ride out to Lancaster to visit Cherry Crest Adventure Farm. The weather was great and I knew they would have their fall stuff starting up.
The Strasburg Railroad runs right through the farm. We didn't get as chance to go for a ride, we ran out of time. Hopefully we will get a chance to go back and do that. It was really neat to see though.
The girls did get to go for a ride on a little tractor train though... not quite the same, but still fun.
Emmi loves being outside. If she's outside she's happy.
They had these neat pedal cart things. The girls went on them a few times. They were cute. They also had mini ones in the middle section there for little toddler size kids.
Of course we had to do the Amazing Maize Maze while we where there. We did the easy path, which was basically sticking to the perimeter. I was afraid to try another route when I saw that some families had spent 3+ hours in there. The record was like 6.5 hours. NO thank you!
Before we left, we had to head back to say goodbye to these animals. This llama was kind of crazy so no one really went near him. James must have felt bad for him and decided to feed him. Oh how I wish I had video. It was hysterical. The llama was trying to get the food out of the little machine with it's tongue before James could even get it out.
This was a perfect family fun day! We couldn't have asked for better weather and we had the best time!
Our little Corny Cobs checking their height to see which attractions they could go on.
We had a great time! I didn't remember them having animals in a petting zoo type of environment, but they do. They had adorable little goats. The baby ones were SO cute. I wanted to hide one in the basket of our stroller and bring it home! The babies or "kids" jump the fence to come out and play with the human kids. They really were so stinkin' cute!! The girls also got to hold baby chicks. They were super soft. Juli said their claws felt funny on her hand.

Back to Blogging
I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with the blog, but I thought I would give it another go. I'm on facebook and it's easy to share there but I like to have a place to go back and see what the girls were up to, what they were doing and saying. The blog makes it easy to go back and cry reminisce. So now that we have a new baby to ooh and ahh over, I think I'll try to document her life and more of the bigger girls' happenings here.
I'll apologize to my friends and family on facebook, since you'll probably see a lot of the same stuff/pictures in both places but I know some people aren't on facebook and some people won't check out the blog.
I'm just going to ease into it and start with a picture this time.
