Emily's Birthday and Father's Day

It has been a very busy first two weeks in June. This is the hole in the wall created for the sliding doors. Dale and Diane came up on the 11th to help with the door, although Emily looks ready to pitch in as well.Aforementioned hole from the exterior.
Here now Dale and Eric begin to move the sliding doors into place. Again Emily looks most eager to help.

Later that week, before Emily's party, a wind storm brought down a tree branch which hit the deck on the way down.

At Emily's party on Saturday, the 18th, bubbles were all the craze. Here Emily and her friend Liam use their bubble machines on the front porch.
Emily sits in front of her birthday cake. It was delicious (Thanks Publix). Note the installed patio doors behind Emily. (Thanks Dale)
Tis no baby, tis a cake eating machine.

After cake, Emily moves on to presents. The vacuum was the big hit of the evening. Emily can't get enough of that domestic labor.
Emily moves on to Grandma Connie's gift. So excited!
Emily tries out the keyboard from grandpa Dale. It make lots of noise. Thanks Dale, from Eric and Melissa (insert sarcasm here).
Emily sports her new mower and shopping cart. I sensed a child labor theme to the gifts (note I did not imply disapproval - just acknowledgement).

Father's Day we stop for a photo after a near disaster lunch (a long and winding tale). Happy father's day!
Emily and grandpa Dale relax after a big lunch on Father's Day (it is not one of Dale's guns - only the spray nozzle from the hose - no guns for Emily until her THIRD birthday)

Melissa set up this pool in the driveway, rendering Emily incorrigible every time she comes outside (in her insistence to get in).
Eric poses with his Father's Day gift. A tool set. I see Emily is not the only one who receives all labor related gifts.
