Dell

By Kerry -
I had the nicest lunch out with Emerson and Andy on Tuesday. If you remember, I was complaining Tuesday morning of being tired. After I decided to put my contacts in and wash my face, I told myself that I wasn't going to allow myself to be lazy, so I gave Andy a call and invited him to lunch. He was actually free (VERY unusual on short notice) so I packed Emme up in one of her cute outfits Grandma bought and we went to meet Andy's coworkers at Dell. Shame on me, but he has been in that office for quite some time now, and I've been meaning to visit, but this was the first time I've met a lot of his current colleagues. It was so great to finally put names and faces together. I'm always so surprised at how some people are exactly how I pictured them and some are so completely opposite. It makes me wonder how alike or opposite they think I am when people finally meet me?!?!?! Emme was quite the hit around the office... and of course she slept... but it was really great to get out and about and meet new people.

After meeting everyone, we headed over to Chili's and Andy and I had wonderful conversations about everything under the sun. With just the two of us... of course Emme was still sleeping... it was really nice to enjoy lunch and talk about adult things like careers, stocks, politics, and life. The best part was that Emme didn't wake up until after I ordered dessert! Yay for us :-)

By the way, it seems like babies are everywhere. Here is a picture out our front window of a new baby deer just hanging out. They are so sweet and Addison stops whatever she is doing if she sees one to go to the window to watch them. We have a bunch of babies this year, with a lot more twins and triplets than usual. Hope you like this one.

She was triple-dog-dared

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
