Saturday evening we arranged an impromptu visit from Morgan and her mama, Alicia. The girls ran around in the backyard like the crazies they are, then we fed them dinner from Gennaros (the Peruvian chicken place up the street we used for E's bday party). The girls gobbled up the meal and, I'm happy to report, both fell soundly asleep that evening!
posing with the babies.Sunday we decided to check out this Touch a Truck event up by Lake Norman. We had heard about it from several people, who all reported their kids loved it. We thought for sure Emi would love it too - she's constantly pointing out trucks and buses and looking for both while we're driving.
We were wrong.
If she could have I'm fairly certain Emilia would have gotten herself back into the car and driven home. She hated the cars/ambulances/fire trucks/helicopters and wanted little to nothing to do with them. LIterally i had to force her to get on the few trucks she got on. It makes me so sad that she gets so nervous and shy - so reminds me of me - and I don't want that to hold her back from doing lots of fun stuff in life, so I climbed on the fire truck with her and another couple of buses before we called it a day.
on the fire truck - i swear i have a pic of her smiling... here, not so happy.
this was as close to the tractor as she wanted to get.
loved the gravel - starting a rock collection...
it was kinda hot out.
the rock collection.So Emilia's got a couple of new obsessions. One of which is her Redskins apparel from Gapa. And I mean really, can you blame her? Hail.
perhaps a lucky jersey - 'skins won today!Her other obsession is her picnic table from Tia Marga. Tia sent it to her for her birthday and she was all about it for a couple weeks, and then forgot about it. Well, we've rediscovered it. She's all about eating every meal she can out there. It was getting dark while she was finishing her dinner out at the picnic table and she wouldn't come in she loves it so.

So did you know you got Jeff hooked on Gennaros? He's brought all his friends at work several times for lunch...I have yet to have any leftovers:) Funny about the trucks...although I am sure they are very overwhelming for little people...those huge machines intimidate me for sure...
so funny we apparently hooked a couple of peeps onto gennaros - kinda feel like we should get a free meal from them or something! :)
Peruvian chicken in Charlotte?! Oooh...I can keep my craving for yummy chicken when I move back?! Yippee!! Isn't it funny what our kids think is scary and not scary...Zoe has the same reaction with animals. Love the pics of Emi and Morgan!!
