Flash Cards
I walked downstairs to find Emma on the floor with Leighton going through her flash cards. The first video was recorded with my phone before it died. After running up two flights to grab Chris's phone I recorded the second video. I didn't want to miss this one. So cute!! I'm sure this is the first of many lessons. : )
Emma's Lemonade/Popsicle Stand
Yesterday we set up a lemonade/popsicle stand on our front steps to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk. Emma was very excited to do this because she just recently watched an episode of Max and Ruby where they had a lemonade stand. Ha! In just a couple hours Emma raised $77, and had a lot of fun. The stand was such a hit that we are planning to sell lemonade and popsicles every weekend until the Walk. Go Team Salisbury!

How could anyone resist buying a cup of lemonade from this cutie?!

Water slide
We've spent a lot of time at the pool this Summer. One of our favorites is in Cousin Theresa's neighborhood in Alexandria, VA. They have two nice kiddie pools with a water slide and a diving board. Emma loved going down the water slide. She must have gone down at least 200 times. She even jumped off the diving board! On our last day at the pool we videotaped her going down the slide. For whatever reason, she refused to jump off the diving board, so unfortunately I don't have that on video. We had so much fun spending lots of quality time with Theresa, AJ, and baby Sam. We love you all!

Light The Night
Dear Family and Friends,
I am once again participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk on October 19th in DC, and I would like to ask for your support.
As you know this cause is very important to me. My husband, Chris, was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), which was discovered during a routine check-up in March 2012. Chris’s diagnosis is the reason I first became involved with Light The Night, but this is not the first time blood cancer has affected my family. In 1981 my mother lost her battle with Hodgkin’s disease. Advances in treatment have helped to give people with Hodgkin’s disease the chance for a full recovery. It is only a matter of time before we can say the same about CLL. Promising (non-chemotherapy) treatments for CLL are in the process of being approved, and the medical research community agrees that a cure may be only a few years away. With your support, we can find and advance better treatments and cures and make a difference in the lives of thousands of patients battling blood cancer.
Last year my team (Team Salisbury) raised over $3,200. This year our goal is $5,000 and I know that, with your help, we can do it! If you’re able to I hope that you’ll consider walking with us on October 19th. By joining our team and raising funds for this important cause, you'll be making a real impact on the fight against cancer.
Please join our team’s efforts today by registering to walk or by making a tax-deductible donation online at http://pages.lightthenight.
Thank you in advance for your support!

We take Emma to the Little Gym every Saturday for her "Super Beasts" gym class. I took this video of Emma and her friend, Ayla.

Three Months Old!
Leighton is now three months old! She did not have a well baby visit this month so I don't have her stats. Her next appointment will be at 4 months.
Happy 4th!
These pictures were taken over the 4th. The entire Salisbury family drove down from Butler, PA to spend the weekend at the Cottage. The highlight of the weekend was celebrating Grandma Salisbury's 90th birthday. Happy Birthday Ann!
