The little things...

By Kerry -
It's the little things that make life so much easier. I was thinking this last night as Addison was throwing up on me for the fourth time around 10:00. Wouldn't it be so much easier to wash her off if she wasn't afraid of the shower? Baths just take too long to run, especially when you're running them more than once a night! In case you're wondering, no she's not "sick" we just think she ate something that didn't agree with her. Probably the whole can of carrots that she insisted on finishing.

It's also the little things that make life so nice! Last night, before the episode with Addison, I was able to get out of the house and get to the gym for the first time in a while. Addison and I left Andy with Emme and a bottle, to get some quiet time together. I've been walking at night since we left the hospital, but I must say that I'm addicted to the gym and needed a fix. Before Emme was born, going to the gym was time for Addison and me to spend together and for Andy to have the house to himself for a while. We would go to the gym so she could play in their daycare, which she loves because they have the coolest toys, and after I finished working out we would sit in the cafe and have a snack and "talk" for a while. For those of you who are reading this and are pregnant (I know there are some of you out there) or have been pregnant, you know what I mean when I say it is REALLY nice to have my body back to myself. I can go 30 minutes on the eliptical again! I can do ab workouts! I can drink a glass of wine when I'm done!!! :-) Needless to say, I love my girls, but I think there is enough love in me to love a good spinning class as well.

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
