I've been wanting to post for a while, but I ran into a roadblock! I recently learned that I had maxed out my blog's photo limit. I decided to use photobucket to add photos, but I can't access that site either (I've tried from three different browsers, and it is only showing links on the left side, no HTML at all). I didn't know how to fix the problem until I read that another blogger had encountered the same issue and discovered a solution. (Thanks for the tip, Brittney!) Now I am ready to get back to writing!

Emily's birthday was October 26th, but we didn't have her party until November 6th. The kids were out of school for Election Day, so we used the free time as an opportunity for some fun! Emily chose to have her party at the ice skating rink. She's only skated three times, including the party, but she does pretty well, and she enjoys it!  She invited ten of her friends. Some of them could skate better than others, but the blue metal support bars (I don't know what they are called) were helpful to those who were uncomfortable skating on their own.


After a little more than an hour of skating, we headed to the party room for pizza and presents.  Emily was surrounded by lots of sweet, smiling faces!


Andrew didn't care too much for the ice skating, so he played laser tag with a friend.  He did, however, show up for the pizza and cake.  Funny how that works. :)


I can't believe Emily's eight.  She's growing so fast.  She is my feisty, spunky girl, and she is sometimes my drama queen, but she has such a tender heart.  She will be the one to take care of me when I am old and gray! I love my Best Girl!
