Erika and Emerson made their annual summer pilgrimage to our house. This year events only lasted three weeks, not long enough, but it had to do.
When Erika and Emerson walked into the house, and Dagny saw them, she paused and said “Erika, Emerson.” and ran right to them, she loves them both so much. Also, to see Erika and Emerson just as excited to see her, made it that much more special. They really do care about each other. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Emerson is wonderful with Dagny. He was never scared to hold her or anything like that. Dagny loved to be in Emerson’s arms.
Here they are waiting for Craig to come home from work. I just love this photo.
Emerson and Dagny
One day I caught them both on the floor watching Sesame Street. I swear I almost melted. I couldn’t get to the camera fast enough.
They love each other so much.
Emerson also loves Craig very much. Craig has been in his life, all his life. In fact, the very first Thanksgiving Craig came to my house when we were dating is when my brother and sister-in-law announced they were going to have another baby.
These two guys have a very special bond which this photo shows.

Erika is amazing with Dagny, which does not surprise me one bit. I always knew she would be great with my children, she just has that touch. Even now Dagny asks to talk with Erika on Skype. She literally points to my computer and says “Erika”.

Erika really wanted to go to the Strong Museum of Play while she was up here. She heard so much about it from me.
Erika, Dagny, and Big Bird.
Watching some Classics Sesame Street, of course.

Of course, on the way out Erika had to take her for a ride on the horse.

I really tired to take a good photo of my three favorite kids… best I could do.

Even today Dagny asks about her cousins, she misses them, we miss them too.
