BEES

We got Bees! Katie got a cool full body bee suit. Are bees are kept in the corner of the yard behind the camp trailer. We used to be afraid of bees but now we don't mind them much. We feed them suger water and they realy like are flowers.

 

Emma's Rollie Pollies

Emma has recently started to keep rollie pollies/pill bugs so we got her a house to keep them in. She loves to look in it with a magnifying glass and watch them. Emma makes sure that if she pick them up that they don't get scared or get dropped. 

Emma reading to Jenny

 Grant melted crayons and made a disc and dinosaurs.

Emma made Nutella toast with fruit. It was delicious!

Emma!

Here she is: Baby Emma Kathryn Shepherd!

Rachel and Clara never seem to get enough turns holding her and kissing her.

Mom came just in time, the day we got out of the hospital. 

I went to the parade and the kiddie carnival with the two girls and nana and papa on the 24th and didn't feel like I was going to be in labor anytime soon.. but at 4:30 in the afternoon my water broke... and so later that night I was induced and Emma was born at 1:55am. We are both trying to catch up on sleep but are otherwise healthy and happy!
