Nola is never boring

Today was Saturday (I suppose it still is). Daddy and Emma did not have there normal 3 mile walk of the uptown, but thats okay cuz they both got a different kind of exercise. Swimming! This was Emma second time in a swimming pool, but her first Official "I'm in a pool, look at me". We got her one of those blowup/Pop up floating devices and they rock. Emma's friends were even hanging on it and it didnt even sink but a tiny bit. I supose I should go fill out one of those chessey I love this product reviews. But anyway We had SOOO much fun at the pool and got to hang out with some of Emma's "school" friends. Emma loved it and everyone in the Family got sunburned (even with 50 spf sunscreen) Daddy the worst, Mommy Next, then Emma a tiny bit on her arm (do not worry grandparents we will keep a watch on it to be sure it doesnt get worse). But you can tell the hierarchy of how the sunscreen was applied. Mom and Dad both worked on Emma. Daddy helped Mom, and Daddy was on his own.
On another note I became obsessed with another item and Sarah told me we could get it for Fathers day (I think I will add birthday as well, Christmas not so fast still got to get me something for that). Its a Netbook! If you have not heard of them, picture a laptop the size and weight of a portable dvd player with a 10.1 inch screen. I'm so excited because this replaces the old Toshiba that died, and I no longer must bring my work laptop home. Its a Asus 1000HE and while you can't play HUGE GRAPHICS shooting games on it (not that I would I'm a Father now) it works for internet and word processing with the occasional movie or video. YEAY! I'll post more when it comes to the house.

Life

Can I just say how fast babies grow up. I was holding a 3 month old (not sure if that is the right age, Sarah will correct me if not). He could not do anything without help, I was trying to remember when Emma was that small, it was hard to do. She is such a big girl now, walking, playing, eating with a spoon. Before I know it I will be calling her to see how her baby is doing (Sarah had Emma when she was only 24).
