Attempt to start a real blog

Up until now, I have used this blog just to share pictures with my family. But recently, I have decided to try blogging more regularly. My hope is that this will help me to record more of Emilia's daily adventures to remember in the future. This summer has been very hectic for us. I decided at the end of June to switch Emilia to a new gym for gymnastics. Since then we have travelled to Statesville (a 30 minute drive) 3 days a week for her training. This has kept us busy, but she seems to love her new coaches and is much happier.

In July, we went to an Ethiopian Heritage Camp with my mom. We had a great time. I may write more about the camp in a later post. We also got a new puppy last week. Mac is a bichon poodle and he is officially spoiled rotten. His favorite spot to sleep is on my shoulder. House training is going well, because he doesn't get much time on the floor. When he is not sleeping, Emilia is holding him.
