Ant Attack!

Day 1

The bites were all puffy and red with a little white tip that looked like a normal bit.

Day 2

The bites look horrible today! They are like little white pimples all over her! I know it is gross to look at but I had to show you how bad she got it!

We were at the park yesterday and Emma came running up to me saying "hot, hot!" She was holding her hands up and it looked like they were all dirty but I knew right away that they were covered with ants. I grabbed her and tried hitting the ants off of her hands but they were all biting her and were hard to get off! Luckily my friend Melissa was there and helped me hurry and strip her clothes off because the ants were all over here! They were in between her fingers and everywhere! We got them of rather quickly but it seemed like forever just because I knew they were all biting her and wanted them all off! She has about 25 bites on each hand and like 20 on one of her legs. OUCH! She did not even cry, what a tough girl!

My First Day of Preschool!

Last Wednesday was my first day of pre-preschool! I learned about the number one, the color red, and the letter A. I also learned all about dinosaurs and sang fun songs. I made a dinosaur puppet and colored dinosaur pictures. I really like school! Sometimes I wander off but I am sure I will get used to sitting in a circle with my other friends soon.

"B" is for Boots, Boa, and Book!

I bought Emma a pair of boots on clearance at Walmart. They were only $5 and were the right size for her this Fall. Ever since I picked them up at the store all she wants to do, and does do, is wear her boots. She thinks they are the coolest. I try and tell her that her feet will get very hot if she wears them to the store but she does not seem to care. I also bought her a pink boa from the dollar store which of course she loves!

Daddy came home from Costco the other day and surprised Emma with a giant animal book. She loves it and looks at it every day!

Dolly the Dove

We have had a pet Dove, Dolly, ever since we moved in. She lays her eggs(2) and sits on them for about 2-3 weeks and then all of the sudden there are two cute little baby doves. Every time Dolly leaves with her new babies she always comes back a few days later to lay more eggs. "Doves are extremely prolific and can lay eggs every three to four weeks." She has been back 4 times now and has had 6 baby birds born! Two more are on there way. Every time we step foot outside Emma starts calling for Dolly and has to run over to her and say "Hi Dolly!"

Associate of the Quarter is...LUKE!

Associate of the Quarter - Luke Christensen

Here is some of what was said about Luke:

"Luke is always aware of what is going on in the audit room and makes it a priority to listen in to issues being discussed on other funds so that he can learn and applying what he learned to the fund he is working on. This is particularly helpful and important as we work on multiple funds at once and are able to leverage answers received on one fund to help complete testing of others without having to go back to the client a second time, but also we're able to ask the right questions earlier in the audit based on issues in other funds."

Congratulations Honey! We love you and are proud of you!

Video of Emma Talking

Here is a little video of Emma saying "Hi" to all of the grandma and grandpa and all of the aunts and uncles on the Christensen side. Pretty cute...
