| Topic: Who is Surprising Who? |

| Message: As part of my new job, I (dad) had to go out of town for training this past week. My training facility was located in Chicago Illinois. Emmett, who normally asks to go to bed about 7pm, was staying up past 11:30pm each night I was gone, trying to keep himself awake just in case I came home. He would walk around in the evenings and say "dad?" I thought I'd surprise Emmett by bringing him home a couple of t-shirts from the Rain Forest cafe  and Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory.  When I came back into town on Friday night, I took my bags from the car and headed into the house. As I neared the door, I could hear a faint, yet familiar voice. There was a surprise waiting for me - our friend Lisa G was at my house playing with Emmett! |

| Topic: Taking A Walk and Chasing Puppies |

| Message: Yesterday we took advantage of the nice weather, and went for a walk in the park after dinner. To change our scenery a little, we went to Route 66 Park for a walk. As soon as Emmett got out of his car seat he took off down the path. He got about 15 feet, and then stopped, turned around and ran the opposite direction saying "puppy - puppy - puppy!" Because the weather was so nice, lots of people were out walking their dogs in the park. Emmett just gravitates to little puppies! We were at the park probably an hour, and we walked less than 100 feet, on account of chasing puppies back and forth in different directions. When there wasn't a puppy on the trail, Emmett took great interest in walking off the trail, and playing in the mud and dirt. One time I looked down, and he had his fingers smack in the middle of a deer print. 16 months old, and he's tracking deer for me! |

| Topic: Tip for Sneezing What Not To Do |
| Date: 2008-04-07 10:27:36 |
| Message: A few days ago Emmett had another tooth start to push up through his gums. He's been walking around the past few days with his fingers in his mouth rubbing his teeth where it hurts. If you ask him if he would like some Ora gel, he's smile and start licking his lips, as he knows the Ora gel will make his mouth numb. I was standing in the living room one evening as Emmett was walking around in circles with his fingers in his mouth when he sneezed all of a sudden. He looked up at me, and big tears swelled up in his eyes. Sure enough, he didn't move his fingers out of his mouth before he sneezed, and he was left with a great big teeth marks in his chubby little fingers. I laughed as I rubbed his hand for him, and told him to move his fingers out of the way next time. |

| Topic: Dad's New Job |
| Date: 2008-04-03 15:38:03 |
| Message: This Monday Emmett's dad started his new job. Unfortunately my job starts too early in the morning for me to be able to take Emmett to Mrs. Sherri's house in the mornings, and sometimes the traffic on the way home is too much for me to be able to pick him up from Mrs. Sherri's in the afternoons. That is, except yesterday. The weather was nice, and I was able to swing by and pick Emmett up in the afternoon to take him home. I knocked on the door, and when I opened it, Emmett took a great big step back, and a smile spread across his face. His daddy had come to get him! |
