Anna and Emma

Here is a picture of Emma, Anna and my mom.

This is a picture of Emma sucking her fingers in a funny way. She has only done this once that I have seen, but I thought it was interesting because my parents say that when I was little I used to suck my fingers in exactly the same way.

This is a picture of Anna, Emma and me in front of the hospital building where Emma was born and where she and I spent the first five days of her life, just before Daddy Martin whisked us off homeward bound. I know, the pointy orange shoes look really dangerous, like the ones Britney Spears almost dropped her baby in, but I really love orange, and, as a precaution, I did not wear long pants like Britney but rather a shorter dress so that there would not be that much to trip over - although I am absolutely capable of tripping over just about anything regardless of any precautions ... Fortunately, this time around we made it home safely, and without the paparazzi.

After seeing how many people have their own blog pages and especially after seeing again and again how hard it is to get more than a few photographs sent in one email, I have decided to become one of the masses and also set up a page. I thought it would be really hard, but I guess the creators of blogspot knew that someone computer-illiterate like me was bound to come along so they made it really easy to set up a page.

First I thought that I would write in both English and Czech to make sure anyone coming to this page would understand, but then I figured that the people who might want to read this will either be native English speakers or be English learners who won't mind an opportunity to practice reading some English - so English it will be, unless the English speakers tell me they want to practice their Czech!

Our second child, Emma, was born recently - Sunday, August 13 at 10:28 a.m., so my first big feat on this page will be to try to put up some pictures of her and her big sister Anna - born July 4, 2003.
