PS. SO SORRY for the lack of blogging. Moving is comsuming my time and we still don't have internet at the new house....so till next time!!
Em, every day I am so thankful to be your Mommy! You are the sweetest cuddlebug there is and we love you to pieces! HAPPY 14 MONTHS!
DRIVING!
We drove. We sang silly songs. We laughed and tickled our babies. We had fun!
We went to a birthday party. We enjoyed playing with the other kids. Em ate TWO cupcakes and some ice cream. Wonder where she gets her sweet tooth? Hmmm?
We worked a little in the new house. Daddy worked A LOT!
We topped off the weekend with a birthday dinner for Ans. The food was not that great and the service was terrible, but the company was entertaining and definately the BEST part of the night. I sit here this quiet Sunday morning pondering the question, why? Why did a beautiful young girl have to die? In my head, I KNOW that it was God's plan, but in my heart, I ache for the family. A little girl that will never graduate high school, will never go to prom, and will never go to college. A mom who won't be able to pick out her daughter's sweet 16 present, who won't be able to see her in a white wedding gown.
You see, this little girl grew up in my church. She went to Sunday School and I used to keep her in the nursery. She was part of the youth group and was loved by everyone. Last night as her mom wrote "Time sprang forward last night yet my clock has stopped." Please pray for this sweet family as they deal with the devastating, surprising loss. May God be with them and give them peace.
Today, I have hugged Em a little tighter. Kissed her a little longer. I've been cherishing the little things because only God knows the plan for our lives.
Em has been up to some serious business. I feel like she has gotten so BIG this week. I believe she is just about done with bottles. She no longer wants to sit long enough to take one. We already phased out the morning bottle and I think the night time one may go very soon. I'm not quite ready for it. No bottles means, she's no longer a baby!
She has an obsession with the stairs. It is a rekindled love. Remember this?
She absolutely LOVES the outdoors. Only problem is when you try to take her back inside. Her royal highness throws a royal fit. See pic above!
And, lastly, the girl LOVES some fruit. Strawberries are her current fave as well as bananas and blueberries. She is not, however, a fan of peaches. Huh? Silly girl. We have been out living life. Enjoying every minute and trying desperately to get our house really to be lived in by this weekend.
This past weekend, I met some friends for a Fondue Party (SO FUN) and a round of Partini. Partini is probably one of the funnest (i know it's not a word) game that I have played in a long time. I am already looking forward to a rematch and this time BOYS... the girls will win!
Sunday consisted of church and more housework. Emma was great during "big" church and hopefully I can no longer call her the church bully.
I am so glad that this week is halfway over. It has been a long one. Monday was BUNCO night so I didn't get to see Em before bedtime and that just breaks my heart, but it was fun to spend some time with the girls. No more big plans for this week but the weekend is jammed packed again. I love being busy, but I also enjoy those weekends that plans are nowhere in sight!
(I know posts without pics are so boring, but I am at work sitting next to a 5K student that I am almost positive just "went" in his pants. ShooooWeee. How much longer till 6:00? Will post some pics after Em goes to bed.)
