All about Emi

I just wanted to write down some of the cute things Emi's done recently.

-She has started using "more" when she wants us to do something again. Up until this point, she's only signed "more" with food, but now she does it with anything she wants to do again.

-Yesterday, throughout the day, Emi kept putting just her head and feet on the floor (she was in a piked position) for no apparent reason. Marty and I tried teaching her how to somersault because she was already halfway there, but she didn't quite get it. haha. Instead she just would roll to the side. It was so cute!

-She's learned how to scribble. 

-She loves any sort of accessory. Her favorite is to bring you an accessory, have you put it on, and then she'll take it off.

-She can identify family members really well. If you ask her to point out a family member, she knows who's who.

-She loves playing with Dad when he gets home from work. Emi and Dad have a game where Dad is on one side of the door and puts his fingers under the door, and Emi's on the other and she'll do the same. She thinks it's hilarious..and so do we.

-She's learned how to put things away. She's really good at helping.

-If you ask Emi if she wants to brush her teeth, she'll go straight to the bathroom. But SHE wants to do it, and gets protective of her toothbrush if you try to brush her teeth.

Nick's Fish House

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
