Most of these are out of focus (not sure why this keeps happening?) but we rarely eat ice cream so this was a very special and spontaneous treat. It was Kate's 1st ice cream cone (of her own) and she LOVED it!

Claire, Kate's dress is from the Baby Gap. I got it a few months ago but it is this season. I hope you can find one:) Also, Janie and Jack has a pink and green patchwork dress that I hope to buy soon. You might like it too.

  2. I adore these photos of your sweet children. I can tell that Kate is loving her ice cream cone. I am sure it will not be her last. LOL.
    Mallory saw these pictures and loved them. She thinks Kate is soooo cute and loved her piggy tails. I love her madras plaid dress. Looks like a fun time was had by all.
    Also, thanks for answering the questions. :)

  4. I just love it!!! I am not what one would call a clean freak, but I would have gone crazy with all that dripping ice cream. However, the picture is precious so I might just have to let Darci do this just once.

  5. Looooooooove the pigtails!! Mia will not eat ice cream...yet. I cannot wait to see her eat and hold her own cone like Kate ~ very sweet!

  6. It's a good thing that Kate had one all to herself! Not quite sure who would want to share a lick with that messy cone!

    *great pics*

  7. Hi Kim,

    Great pictures! I love the hand with the melted ice cream!

    I don't think they look out of focus in general, but Kate's hands might look out of focus. You might have thought of this, but as an amateur who has taken a photography class I'll offer my opinion. Since you shoot in aperture priority maybe your aperture is too small and exposure time is a little longer than need be so any small movement shows as blurs.

  9. Those photos are just darling! I tell you, she just warms my heart and keeps me going. I look at her and I know how you waited, so I know that if I am patient, some day my Sophia will come.

  12. I love the mess my little Katie Ru is making - one of my "go Kate!" moments from her fairy god mother. Enjoying life in the moment - how precious (and sticky!)- love, Staci

  13. Hi Kim!
    I discovered your blog last Fall when I googled the name "Kate." I was pregnant with my third child and searching for baby names. Well, fast forward 6 months and now I have a 4 month old daughter named Kate Olivia and I am addicted to your blog. My oldest two children enjoy looking at the pictures with me. When we are out and see a Chinese baby girl they ask me if that is Kate Emerson. Thanks for sharing your story and you are leaving a wonderful legacy for your children.

    A couple of questions for you:
    1) If you had an afternoon of free time (without kids and houseboy) what would you do to relax?

    2) Are you obsessive about ironing all the laundry before it is put away?

  22. Cute pigtails!!! Love that big ole cone for tiny little Kate! Landree loves to get 'her own bowl' at Coldstone. We have them give her a half of a half of scoop because she feels like she should be able to eat it ALL. Love the pictures!

  23. OMG, the pictures are wonderful. I have a large picture of Amanda when she was about Kates age eating a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Precious.

  26. Oh, that is one of our favorite places to grab some ice cream! They look like they are having a great time. I love Kate's pig tails...I can't wait for Maggie's hair to grow!

    See you this week~

  27. The photos don't look out of focus...they are beautiful. I love that Kate got all drippy as she made her way through the cone. And the pigtails are darling! They used to call me BUFFY (From A Family Affair) when I was little because I always had pigtails.

    Here's to many more ice creams this Summer!

  28. Happy ice cream faces are deligtful...one of the pleasures of summer in my book!! (second only to the actual delights of rainbow sprinkles and vanilla ice cream of course!!)

    Sweetness squared!

  32. Those are great photos Kimber. There is nothing better then eating and ice cream cone. Reminds me of summer.

    I also enjoyed reading your questions and answers. You are a wonderful Mama.

  33. Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!

    Kim, would you mind sharing where you got Kate's dress??!! I had a dream (over two years ago!) of my future daughter wearing a madras dress. We are "next" for our referral and I would LOVE to buy her one, but haven't found any I love. This would mean so much to me.

    Thank you,
    Claire
