This weekend turned out to be a bummer, despite the beautiful weather. Emma was going to her first concert in Syracuse at the state fair: Justin Bieber. She loves him. I think it's a perfect first concert and the tickets were Emma's 14th birthday present. I was so psyched because we were going to make it a family affair. Since we live several hours from Syracuse, we got two hotel rooms--one for Emma and her friend Emma (that name sure got popular) and one for Tony, Tula and me. We were going to spend the day at the fair. Sounds good, right?
Justin Bieber got sick. The concert is Wednesday. The hotel wouldnt refund my money. Until...I refused to get off the phone and threatened to keep calling back all day long until they at least gave me an even trade for Wednesday night. Guess what? If you're really annoying, people will give in! I spent a couple of hours scrambling to rearrange our plans and it was stressful, but I did it. The only problem is that I can't go on Wednesday night because I start work again. Tula and I will be staying here together.
Anyhow, these pics were taken the day before our Big Disappointment. Emma looks a little mean and evil in the full body pic, but she's actually pretty nice ;)
I picked up the earrings for Emma at the farmers market in Westfield, Ny. Emma layered a black shirt under the Paramore shirt and I love the effect.
She also made a skirt this week, which I'll post later.
I also put a pic of our freaky dog, Olive, who is almost 2 years old. She's completely insane (think Marley and Me). Anyone out there have an insane dog, too?
Emma looks great! Sounds like a hectic situation, but at least it worked out in the end. I love the lead singer of Paramore -- she has such great style! Love the shoes too, Emma!
