I mean not to offend

 but how can I not share this...this was the day before we moved.  Apparently, Emily was not very happy with us.

Missing my hubby....

Okay, so I have been single mommin' it this week and I decided it is NOT for me!  I am so incredibly thankful that I do not have to do this on a regular basis.  For those of you that are single parents--my hat goes off to you!  

I miss my husband SO much and I know that his little girl misses him too.  I don't think I realized just how many little things he does to help out with her.  With an infant, there is so much that has to be done.  For instance... one thing I have never been good at with her is suctioning her slime from her nose.  She wakes up sounding like a pig most mornings and he always helps with that.  Well...since he has been gone, I have had to do it.  I must be getting better though 'cause I got a TON out this morning.  He cuts her nails, he burps her, he changes her diapers, he gets her dressed, he takes her to daycare---he helps with everything!  I know that I am truly blessed to have him as my husband and Emily is going to have the best male role model.  I can't wait until he comes home tomorrow!!!!! 

I tried to upload some videos, but they didn't want to cooperate.  I'll try to get them up later.   

Emily and Brian in line for this ride.  (video to come) We actually rode in that cookie bucket. Yes, she does have crazy hair in the back.  Christie Walker, our hair stylist won't let us cut the "rat tail."  P.S.  If you need your hair done--she is awesome---she won't leave you with the rat tail though, unless you want it. 
Emily is actually wearing a shirt that says "Apple of daddy's eye."  She totally is...

Next time you are in Japan

Look for pictures of Emily!  For my 4th day of spring break, Brian took the day off of work and we headed to Disneyland and met up with Kristi and the girls.  We had a great day of fun.  It was VERY crowded today so we just relaxed as much as we could there---including an ice cream treat.  While we were in line to order our ice cream, a couple of ladies from Japan start peeking in our stroller and are staring at Emily and talking about her.  Next thing I know, they are taking out their cameras and taking pictures of her.  I didn't really know how to react so I just made sure that they had the right lighting--i kid.  We did chuckle once they left.  Quite strange.

Haley was very concerned about Emily being lonely.  She spent the majority of the day helping us walk her through the park.  

Waiting for the parade

 Trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time with a happy look wasn't going to happen---so, here we all are---minus Kristi taking the photo.

Spring Break day 3


So, one of my dear friends, Megan came over to spend the morning/afternoon with me.  Megan and I met at work and became good friends.  We grew closer when we found out that we were both pregnant just 5 weeks apart!  (Patrick is 5 weeks to the day younger than Emily...she is just so tiny!) So, Emily and Patrick got to hang out today!  We went on a long walk and had lunch together.  It's just so fun to see them together when us mommies used to dream about what they would be like, look like, sound like etc...we are both so blessed!  

I thought it was so sweet when she held on to his leg.  What I didn't get a picture of was when they held hands---SO cute!

family visitors...



I have been meaning to post some pictures up from Emily's visit with her Auntie Alyse and Grandma Wolf.  They were kind enough to come down and spend an entire week with Emily.  That saved us from having so spend money on daycare and I am sure Emily got lots and lots of love!  

Spring Break day 2

Today was bit of a show and tell day---I took Emily down to my mom's work.  A grandma loves to show off her grandbaby and show off she did!  I can't even begin to tell you who everyone was, but Emily was greeted by lots and lots of smiling faces.  She was a good sport.  It was her nap time and she was certainly tired, but didn't break out into any of her deafening screams, so that is always good.  

After visiting with Grandma---Emily and I went to see Jessica.  Jessica is a good friend of mine who is expecting a little girl, Ella TODAY!  We're praying that she comes soon.  I know that Emily and Ella will be good friends!  

Tonight we are taking Auntie Holly out for her birthday dinner.  Lots of things to do!
