Emma went to the Beach!!!

Well we did it!! We took our princess to the ocean!! She's a champ I tell you! She was such a great little traveler, I think she did better then the adults! LOL!! We broke our trip up into two parts. We left at 6 am on Friday morning and made it to GA and then on Saturday we made it to FL!! The only times we had to stop was to feed and change our precious girl. She smiled, laughed, slept and cooed pretty much the entire time! There were a few moments of fussiness but then like I said the adults were fussing too!!! We stayed in Sanibel Island FL. Its a beautiful place and this time of year its almost completely vacant! Which is wonderful for those of us who can still travel at this time of year. Albeit its hot but was very enjoyable. I'll leave you with pictures because that pretty much explains our whole trip!

Thank you for your prayers for mine and Peter's peace of mind while on this trip. For us it was a hard call. I know we can't keep Emma centered around Cincinnati Childrens her whole life, so I was glad that we went so she can experience these things!!!! Please continue to pray for our precious baby girl, for her continued health. Please also pray because on Sept 19th she has to have a sedated MRI. I believe I told you one of her doctors is concerned with a decrease in movement in her legs. So the MRI will tell Dr. Stevenson if there is anything wrong. PRAYING that there isn't and that she is just showing us her strong will.

Also, our local chapter of the Spina Bifida Coalition is hosting a Walk 'N' Roll on September 28th at Miami Whitewater Park. We'd love to have you join us for the walk, if you can't join us though please consider donating to this great cause. The local chapter can benefit Emma specifically in many ways, now and as she gets older. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!! Our team name is Emmavators and if you feel led to donate here is a link... http://www.sbccincy.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=5229.

Now onto the pics!!!

She was modeling her new ladybug suit!!! 

She was deep in thought! 

This little girl LOVES her daddy!!! 

I promise she didn't help him eat a slice! 

Look at her PRECIOUS facial expression in this picture! 

First look at the ocean! 

So deep in thought! 

Diva! 

Putting her toes ONLY in the water.

Taking her morning siesta on the beach! 

She became infatuated with the palm tree that was right outside our patio! 

I think she wants to eat the burger! 

Baby kisses are the best!!!
