cute dress and crazy hair

this is one of emma's sweet little dresses! she was enjoying her little photo session and laughing with gigi...

we lost emma's comb for a while and
her hair was clearly evidence of that!!

going away party

steve's family had a little luau for us before the big move to washington! emma already had a grass skirt so she was ready to party! enjoy the pictures of our hawaiian hula baby...

the last three photos are of emma with uncle danny-

she couldn't get enough of his mustache...

so sweet

i know i know, i of course think emma does the sweetest things
but it really is true-she's even precious when she's sleeping...

not only is she the cutest thing when she's sleeping she also
greets everyone with great big smiles every time she wakes up!!

so long sunny florida...

...we're moving to washington!!! this will be emma's third state to live in in her short 9 months of life! steve will be the new youth pastor at a great church in federal way, wa which is about 25 miles south of seattle. we are excited about the move, though less excited about the distance- 3,146 miles from our current tropical location, i mapquested it! we are in the process of closing on our house-yes, we bought a house-and should be heading out there in less than a month! we will have a guest bedroom so if anyone is venturing out to the pacific northwest, drop on by the grieme family residence. we have an awesome view of the mountains, a jacuzzi tub in the master bath (emma's new swimming pool), and granite counter tops in the kitchen- who could ask for more?!?

here are a few pics of the house, our house...

fancy bonnet

steve and i went to fort clinch for a mini-vacation and we brought emma back a little souvenir- an old fashioned bonnet...she's clearly sweet no matter what era she's in!

she always does this very serious face

i feel like she looks like the next gerber baby something
(i know i might be a bit biased!)

easter fun

sorry these are a little late but here are some easter pics... enjoy!
