Emma Girl

Playing some catch up since I've been back to work.  I apologize for the lack of posts & pictures lately, I promise I'll try to do better!

At any rate, here are some pictures of Emma.  There is never a dull moment with this child!

There is no such thing as too many accessories - hints the Rainbow Ribbons in her hair, Flower Headband, Cape, 3 Tutus, & Grass Skirt.  Oh, and she's wearing a swimsuit under all that - LOL. 

Needless to say, she was oh so pleased with herself!

We went shopping for Ballet clothes & then modeled them for Daddy. (Please ignore the paint sample on the wall - we/David are/is painting!)

She has some big shoes to fill!

This one cracks me up of Em & Papa. She piled every pillow she could find on his lap & then climbed in it too.  She thought she was so funny (she was!)

Emma is such a joy & has eased into being a big sister so gracefully.  She makes her brother laugh & smile.  She's already looking out for him, making sure he's safe, happy, & well-fed!  She gives the best hugs & kisses, checks up on us, is a great helper, & just an all-round sweet girl!  I love her so so much!

TGIF

So going back to work kind of put us through a loop.  We run hard all week & by the evenings, we're all worn out.  Needless to say, computer time at home has been minimal.  But we're doing good and getting adjusted.  I've officially been back to work 1 month (5 full weeks).

I took Henry to the doctor today. He's been coughing a couple weeks, but it hasn't gotten any better, so I went ahead and took him.  Poor little guy has an ear infection & is on antibiotics the next 10 days. Glad I went ahead and took him before it got worse!  He now weighs 13 pounds 15 ounces - yes that's just shy of 14 pounds! My baby is growing quick!

Apparently he's getting very long too.  She didn't tell me how long he was today, but seeing how his 6 month pjs are getting too short & I washed 2 pairs of 9 month pjs tonight, I have to assume he must be growing (or his clothes are shrinking!)

Emma is doing great too.  She loves ballet class & has been a sweet friend at school.  She's always coloring & telling us new things she has learned. Yesterday she came home chanting "TGIF, TGIF, TGIF!" I asked her what that means & she said "Friday!!" Unfortunately she was a little premature, seeing how yesterday was only Thursday.  This morning I told her it was Friday, so she decided to celebrate with some TGIF.  And she was also excited that Friday night is Pizza Night, so of course that's a good reason to celebrate too!

With the Labor Day weekend, I'm hoping to get to catch up a little around the house & hoping to post a few more blogs for you (hopefully pictures too!)  Right now a Stinky Little Boy is ready for a BATH!

Catch up!

I've been back to work now for almost 3 weeks! Needless to say, we've been a little busy around here trying to keep the house under control, keep the laundry clean, & keep everyone fed & happy!

The kiddos are in school now.  Emma seems to be happy about being back in her class. I think she missed seeing all her friends. Of course she's already been sick. Henry is doing great in his class too & he has sweet teachers. They tell me what a good, easy-going baby he is.  I'm very thankful.

Emma has now been in dance class 2 weeks. She goes on Tuesday nights & her teacher is Ms Jill. There are 5 little girls in the class & they are having such a good time. Three is a little young - I know their recital will be hysterical in May.

Friday morning Emma is having her tubes taken out of her ears. Its supposed to take 10 minutes, but unfortunately must be done out-patient rather than in the office.  I'll be staying home with her on Friday.

We're doing good, just getting adjusted to our new normal. I'm exhausted most nights & just want to cuddle with my babies (the biggest one too!) He's been a huge help, cooking dinner, doing dishes, & prepping bottles, along with his normal stuff. Tonight he's trimming out the dining room! Will post again soon - with pictures!

Fun Day in Roswell & Marietta!

For our final trip to the East Roswell Splashpark of the summer, Atchie joined us! Emma had a great time playing in the water with her Atchie!

Henry snoozed. I just love this little outfit!

Poor Jack was more interested in Mommy's sunglasses than the water. I think he's over the splashpark.

We all went to lunch at Chick-Fil-A & then Atchie, Emma, Henry, & I headed over to Nanny & Papa's to go to their pool.  We swam & Henry napped. Emma was a little afraid of the water, so she mostly hung out on the steps this visit. 

Atchie fixed dinner of Spaghetti, Bread, & Salad, & we enjoyed eating with Mom, Dad, & Nene. Nene got to snuggle Henry awhile :) 

We all got baths & then headed home to see our daddy. We had a great day!

Henry & Daddy

I love watching Daddy & Henry interact - they are the cutest! 

Sister & Brother

Emma loves Henry, & Henry loves her! I love that they are starting to interact more.  Henry just watches her & smiles at her - they were sooo sweet! 

Meeting Mommy's Friends!

My sweet friend Jenifer was in town for a few days & we were able to see her! Jeni came down with Jamie, so was on a few days vacation from work.  Sadly this was the day our air conditioner was out, so it was rather warm in my house, but they came anyway :) 

Meeting Jeni

Talking to Jamie

He gave Jamie some good smiles, he took a little nap in between Jeni & Jamie, so was a little happier. 

Once our AC was back on (YAY!) we cooled off the rest of the day. Henry is now starting to like his play yard & Emma loves to play with him.
