Missing Emma

Emma's been back in Illinois for almost a week now and things are just starting to settle back into place. It was very hard to say good-bye and she is dearly missed by us all.

 

I think D misses her the most. I felt like a broken record with that little lady...

"Leave him alone."

"No, you may NOT pick him up."

"Did you just wake up him to hold him."

"He is not a doll."

 

She was all over the poor guy and he loved it!

 

I'm not lying when I say that she is a perfect fit in our big chaotic family.

I just love this group of crazies.

 

We love you, Emma!

Stop

I'm stopping...

Taking a step back from the chaos that has engulfed me over the last 48 hours.

Trying to relax.

That is cut short by my precious 10 month old who has a double ear infection.

The twins climbing all over me. Begging for me to read countless books to them.

Sippys. Books. Snacks. Puzzles. Toys. Cartoons. Potty breaks. Play-doh.

Screaming 10 month old.

Medicines. Bottles. Diarrhea up the back. Pedialyte. Sleepless nights. Short naps.

Registering my nieces for school and missing my husband.

The heat. Oh, the heat!

Fingers in fans. Naked butts. Candy in hair. It's CRAZY!

Rummage sales with my momma in the morning.

Preparing for a baby shower on Saturday.

FINALLY...Baby shower on Sunday.

Maybe then I can breath!

Always...

There is always something crazy going on in our house!

Yesterday it was paint. Paint, EVERYWHERE!

Now it's BALLOONS!

The girls {or their Dad} are always coming up with a new crazy idea.

Okay, okay! The paint was my idea...but you know what I mean.

Never a dull moment.

Never a quiet second.

Always cartoons, fun & laughter!

Did you notice their adorable pig tails?? They're horribly crooked, but cute nonetheless!

They even cried until I agreed to let them take their balloons to bed with them. It wasn't even 5 minutes later that we heard a "POP". :)

We've been having a really good week...er, make that a really good MONTH!
