Here we are at our friend, Bonnie's birthday party. Emery had a lot of fun playing with Bonnie's niece and nephew's toys.
Here's Emery with our friend, Carla. Carla was trying to get her to make her funny face...
This is Emery's newest trick! David has taught her to do this face. We will count to three and then she'll do it. It is adorable because she tries to do 1-2-3 with her fingers like her daddy.
This is probably our only family picture of the summer!
The birthday girl! Happy birthday Bonnie #1 - she's #1 and I'm #2 - we both work at Amarillo High together.
Here are a bunch of pictures from my phone...
Emery standing up in her highchair. She does what she wants...I give up!
We watched Maddie a few times this summer. Here they are playing dress up! I can't believe how big they are getting!
Emery loves apples now - and she only wants to eat them like a big girl. She insisted on wearing this hat and shoes. She looks like a cute, little old lady, huh?!
Feeding the ducks at the park! We did this several times this summer. She loves to try to quack like a duck. She has added that animal sound to her collection!
Her hair is long enough for piggies now! It took a while but she will actually let me put them in now and will leave them alone!
We bought her a big girl potty and will start potty training soon. For now, she is teaching all of her babies!
This summer we loved sitting on the front porch after dinner and enjoying a yummy popsicle!
Who needs a pool when Grandma and Papa have ginormous dog bowls?! Emery loves running around naked and playing in the water.
A couple of weeks ago, Emery had to be sedated for her hearing and vision tests. These are just part of her protocol. She has had her hearing tested twice before in Houston while she was undergoing treatment. The audiologist said everything looks great and she has no hearing loss! She will have her vision tested again when she has scans in January. This first vision test just serves as a base line because everyone has their own "normal" response time. It's called a VER - can't remember what it stands for but basically it records how long it takes for her brain to receive the message that her eyes detected light from these super cool goggles. Emery did great with the sedation as always, but it took 6 people to hold her down for her IV. She is not a fan.
Here's our last picture for today! I watched our friends' little girl Saylor not too long ago and Niki and Maddie came over to play too. Here are the girls having fun in the bath! Nothing better than cute little girls playing in the bath!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

I cannot believe Emery has grown so much! She looks like her daddy! Good to catch up with you all--looks like you are still working on that room!
I love the picture of Emery making her face. She is SO cute! I miss her!
Looks like lots of fun stuff going on! She is adorable. Can't wait to see y'all.
Loved looking at all the pictures! You used to love hats too, Bonnie - purple ones!
I recently came across a very sweet note and pictures that you and Dave had sent me shortly after Emery's diagnosis. I've thought about and prayed for your family over the the last couple of years and always wondered how little 'ol Emery was doing. I am so happy to have found your blog and to see that Emery is cancer free and doing so well! She is absolutely beautiful! I am not sure if you still receive feeds from this blog since it has not been updated in a while but I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about Emery!

P.S. I took care of Emery in the PICU (room 20???) I believe it was your third or fourth night there when we met.
