Snowed in and able to blog!

I am on day three of having no school due to the lovely white stuff that just seems to keep coming down. In fact, we are in for a big storm this weekend, and we have no more built in snow days. So there is no better time like now to update the blog. Being home does have many pros. The most important one is being home with Emma. She is so cute and funny and everyday I reflect on how blessed I am to have her. She likes to play doctor. She says "lay down" and then will take my temperature. When finished she says, "Your temperature is 99!" We stack blocks, built castles, put together puzzles all while holding a baby and watching Elmo. Today, when I got out of my shower I found Emma with my bra around her waist, my shirt around her neck, and my socks on her arms, saying, "Are you done with shower?" I will spare the picture with the bra and shirt, but the sock arms made me laugh.

Is this where the socks go?

A Story to Share~

Just the other day, Patricia and I were on our way home from work. We picked up Emma and while driving down the road the back window rolled down. Yes, my talented daughter rolled it down itself, because I forgot to turn on the window lock. She didn't do this with her hand, she did this with her toes. Patricia found this quite funny, so I had to tell her the whole story...The moment we get in the car Emma tears off her socks and shoes. At Christmas time, while driving to Covington Emma did just that, but on this particular day she learned to wrap her toes around the door handle and pull, which opened the door. Now picture Rob and I in the front seat and realizing the back door being opened-scary! We quickly pulled over and turned on the child locks. Very soon after that she learned to roll down the window with her toes, so now we have to lock the windows. As I said...Emma is talented.

An innocent smile!

A weekend with Anna-Grace

Last weekend Rob, Emma and I had Anna-Grace stay with us while her mommy went to a horse show. We always love having Anna-Grace spend time with us, but does she ever keep us busy (I wonder if Emma will have the same amount of energy when she is 3). Put Emma and Anna-Grace together and you have a wild house. Toys are everywhere and the girls are girls. One minute they love each other, the next they hate each other. One minute they play with separate toys, and the next they are fighting over the same one. This behavior went on for 2 1/2 days. We decided to take them outside with us to play in the snow while we shoveled the driveway. Shortly after that we returned Anna-Grace to her mommy. We can't wait for the next visit!

Snow...here we come!
