Greg took Emily on her first ice fishing expedition. He went out with our friend Greg and his two daughters. They left right after work, drove to the lake and had a barbecue for dinner. Greg and Donna's youngest daughter, Mikayla, is Emily's best friend and from what I am told, the two of them had a blast together. When Emily got home that night and I asked her how her fishing trip was, the first thing she told me about was how she peed on the ice - she was quite proud of herself for that!
Danica had her 18 month doctor's appointment recently as well. She weighed in at 27 pounds 8 ounces and is 33 inches tall. That put her in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. According to that scale, her pediatrician is predicting that she should be around my height (5 foot 8). We also had her final follow up visit with her pediatric orthopaedic surgeon. He took another set of x-rays of her hips and did some manual manipulations as well. Her hips are normal and he feels that he no longer needs to see her anymore. He did suggest however, that if we do decide to have another child, that that baby have an ultrasound shortly after they are born due to Greg's family history of congenital hip displaysia.
Emily also had her first evening of bowling this past week. Our church organized a youth bowling night and we decided to take Emily. We went with Greg and Donna and their girls and they had so much fun! Definitely something that we will take her to do again.
Our dog Keizer celebrated his fourth birthday at the end of March. I made the mistake of mentioning that fact to Emily and she insisted that he should have a cake. Each time I tried to explain to her that Keizer is a dog and he doesn't eat cake, she got rather upset that we were going to let his birthday pass without a proper celebration. So I caved to keep the peace and we had a little birthday party for him.

First time fishing. That sounds like fun. We hope to get our son out for his first time this summer.
