The Emery family spent time shopping on Saturday, January 19th, on Abbot Kinney in Venice, California. I don’t know about you folks, but I’m gonna miss those blankets when they start to fade with age and are inherited by Splash and Banjo for snuggling.

Well, I must say they don’t look as happy, or even as close, than usual, but that may be that they don’t like to see paps close to their kids.

I know you guys will probably delete this, but I for one am pretty much over the whole ‘blanket-sighting’ thing.
Sorry, but I am. Maybe I’m being a total bitch, but for me it’s more of a safety issue thing. As ex-law enforcement, this is a situation where they are just asking for trouble.
Some skitzo-biscuit fan becomes obsessed and the trouble begins. I mean truly, how difficult would it be for harm to come? Everyone knows where they are and you lovely ladies here, just told us what street they happened to be on!
Okay, I’m done ranting and I’m sorry… it’s just that I see so much potential for danger, but I’m sure a lot of you will think I’m nuts.
A good friend and I were ‘talking’ the other day and she made a good observation… It’s like Micheal Jackson and his kids… good god wasn’t one of his kids even named Blanket?!
LOL!
No… I just worry too much about little things I shouldn’t and I hope I haven’t offended anyone but really… even Brad and Angelina don’t go to this weirdness. Privacy is one thing, but c’mon… get over yourselves already and stop asking for trouble.
*sigh*

Anna has a fair complexion, so did Stephen until the Australian and Californian sun got hold of it. Tiny babies shouldn’t be slathered with sunscreen.
Blankets make sense. Deal with it.

We’ve seen blankets and scarves covering the babies since the onset… including when there has been no real sun, like in the carrier in Anna’s arms early one morning. I also have been reminded of the Michael Jackson obsession about covering his kids’ faces. Tend to think it’s more about privacy than anything and of course that is their right.
Everyone, including yours truly, is very curious about seeing the babies, as we are about so many things with this couple we adore. Not to put words in her mouth but I think what wicked is just trying to say is at what point does the privacy thing create more curiousity, perhaps not in a healthy way because these paps can be ruthless. Like if the price of getting the first photo of these babies gets high enough they could do sommething harmful. I’ve had that thought as well. Above all, I would absolutely want those innocent babies to be safe.
In the end, it’s what SM and AP deem how they want to handle it with their children & we will certainly respect that.

I used to cover my babies with blankets over the infant seats too, cuz of the elements, but WW, you make me laugh so much that I don’t think you could ever offend me. I just feel conflicted because I enjoy these pics, but understand their need for a PRIVATE life and want to honor it, but hey… I stalk this web site.. So yes conflicted!

I have no problem with their need of privacy and I fully understand it. Adele has also decided to keep her son’s name a secret for now, and she explained it quite touchingly in an interview.
They are perfectly happy with each other and extremely close. It’s the paparazzi hounding them that makes them try not to react. Good for them, I say!
Comment by Crazy4Bill — January 20, 2013 @ 7:06 pm
WW, you haven’t offended me at all, but I can certainly disagree with you.
I agree with Comptonian that they probably don’t want too much sun exposure.
Regardless of the reasons for the blankets, it really isn’t anyone’s business. They’re the parents, and I have faith that they’re probably damned good parents to boot.
Comment by SenseofDoubt — January 20, 2013 @ 7:36 pm
Hey ladies. WW ~ I agree with a lot of what you have said. The paps are going crazy to get a clear shot of those babies.
Already on the fb Newsfeedand on some pages, there is a pic of one of the twins, which someone snapped while *exposed* one baby from underneath the blanket. The pic is probably everywhere by now.
I’m like ya’ll….completely torn. Love Anna & Stephen as a fan, and want so much to see more of them and their family. But I totally understand how irritating this must be.
Comment by RL — January 20, 2013 @ 8:07 pm
While I wish we had more info, and maybe even a real pic (I did see the RL mentioned… it’s just a glimpse of a super cute baby… boy? girl? who knows
) But they don’t owe us anything… And I get the blanket thing, my two month old is always covered when we go out, and I’m certainly not being stalked by any paparazzi 
Personally, I’m glad they didn’t sell out and sell the pictures to some magazine, it irritates me when the celebs use their babies for profit.
I’m sure as they get older and are walking and things, they won’t keep them covered… but as infants outside, it’s practical.
Comment by shelhill — January 20, 2013 @ 10:16 pm
Yeah… I should have used my head a little earlier and not sounded so judgemental… SNA is on track, I worry about people that become obsessed over something they feel they have the right to know/see/have a say in.
Yes, I’m conflicted too… I always float on in here and love seeing new pics… I’m a fan and when I see pics of them looking tired or annoyed or resigned. I feel SO guilty!
Because when I’m seeing those looks of annoyance etc. I know it’s because the guy that’s taking them are getting paid to hound celebs, just so people like me can see them!
Such a vicious circle… but to be clear, it is their right to do or act anyway they wish about any part of their lives, babies included but there are just so many whack-jobs out there, it frightens me!
Yeah… this should probably something I should talk over with a shrink! “Hey doc, I don’t know if this is anything but I am afraid some of my favorite actors might get a stalker because they won’t tell us what their kids names are. Is that weird?”
Who knows, with luck they might let me out in time for the start of Season Six
LOL! 
Sorry to anyone that felt offended.
Comment by wickedlywonderful — January 20, 2013 @ 10:17 pm
Thanks for the pics. I too am conflicted about the blankets but only because I want to see those babies for myself(and some pap has finally gotten a shot of one of the babies under the blanket and let me say it is adorable! So cute, precious fat rosy cheeks!) but I don’t see any issue with them covering the babies other than my personal obsession. I don’t think they would ever do anything to bring harm to those babies and I do appreciate the fact that they don’t use their kids to get attention as some actors do. I do think the blankets keep out the paps, keep out the sun and keep out the germs of people always wanting to ooh and awe over babies , especially twins.
Comment by Trubie35 — January 20, 2013 @ 10:50 pm
It is kind of frustrating to see these baby blankets again and again, and never see the little ones, or get to know their names. I also agree that Stephen seems more serious, even peeved in recent pics. He’s looking around for paps frequently, and seems tense.
But when I look at those pics of them shopping before Christmas, I just cringe at the crowd around them, and so many people are on their phones, or maybe trying to get pics on their phones. It’s one thing when it’s just you, but when it’s your kids, it must be really nerve-wracking.
That said, we know they both like Venice so much because it’s laid back, beachy and casual. And that’s because they love that lifestyle. Stephen especially loves being outdoors, swimming, biking, skateboarding, walking the dogs, etc. And there have been lots of pics of them in the past walking in and out of stores, shopping.
So should they completely curtail their lifestyle that they enjoy because they now have babies? I don’t think they should. Having the blankies over them is most likely for a few reasons:
If they weren’t there the paps would come even closer for pics, Stephen would perhaps have to haul off and hit someone – a la Alec Baldwin – LOL!
Anna has confessed to being a ‘germaphobe’ and I’m sure she would be really nervous if people came up and bent over to coo over the babes. I know I’d be nervous, especially in this flu epidemic! And so many people are so dumb about this stuff.
We know the babies were ‘early’ and they could have had some respiratory issues because of that, and so protecting them from debris as well as germs is quite understandable.
So while I wish we could see them, I don’t really think the blankets are bringing more attention at this point. Now, if they are 3,4,5 years old with blankets
over their heads – that would be weird!
ww – no worries, you didn’t offend anyone, sweet lady!

Glad to see our favorite family out and about having some “our” time.
I dont mind the blankets at all. I understand the Emerys need for privacy for their wee ones, but it can only last for so long. Before you know it, the kids will be pulling the blankets down, wanting to see the world. And soon after that they will be running around with mum and dad chasing after them.
I would love to know their names. But again, will be patient. All will be revealed in due time.
BTW, Steve looks HOT! MMMMM, nice Henley sweetie!
Comment by BN — January 21, 2013 @ 8:04 am
I agree, BN! The babies will be in clear view before long, as they’ll have grown too big to cover up.
Personally, I don’t think the paps are hounding Steve and Anna at all. If they were, they’d be hanging outside their house waiting for an opportunity. Instead, the photos we’re getting are from areas that are popular places to shop and walk in the Venice area.
Comment by aemac — January 21, 2013 @ 8:11 am
AEM – I thought the same thing regarding the pap’s. While these two are celebrities in there own right its not like this is Justin Bieber or Beyonce pushing around a stroller. I just don’t think there is a huge payday in it for the pap’s to snap a picture of the babies. Isn’t she known for being a private person, coupled with these being her first babies – she is just being a protective mom.
Now on to something else about the pic.. The Henley … Who the heck is buying the bigger shirts for Stephen? They use to be fitted better so we could see the hard workouts paying off! Lol
Btw I still laugh when I see the caption Blanket Sighting mostly because of the MJ fiasco.
Comment by Purpleprince — January 21, 2013 @ 9:23 am
It is nice Anna is covering up the babies tender faces. The sun can be a tad harsh on such young skin.
