S-L-E-E-P and thanks

So, it's finally hit. I knew it would, but I was expecting it last week, so I'm happy that I lasted this long. Sleep deprivation is here and my brain is feeling a little bit like Mommy Mush. I'm completely functional in what I need to do, but little more seems to really be necessary. I can get up, get coffee, take care of the girls, but I really don't want to waste precious energy on making the bed. I make the bed every morning, but today, I just shut the door behind me as I left the bedroom. I'm secretly hoping to crawl back in at some point today! Emerson continues to want to eat about every two to three hours, even at night. Feeding her isn't really the problem, since I love seeing her little face any time of day, and she only eats about ten minutes at a time, it's actually falling back to sleep after I've left the bed that's difficult. It probably doesn't help that I woke up at 4 am with that distinct feeling of a sore throat coming on. I'm sure it's just a symptom of the lack of sleep and I'm not really getting sick, but not fun, nonetheless.

Okay, enough of my little pity party! I realized last night that we've had so many people call, stop by and email to wish us well. Once again, it is so nice to know the support we have from family and friends. We've received cards from as far away as Auntie Pat in Californina and Aunt Sue in Florida, had Andy's friends from work over to bring us some gifts, and Kristi down the street brought us the most delicious meal last week. I still need to get the recipe for the strawberry cake she made. I could eat a whole one right now!!! We've had more friends over than I can write about and we're expecting more friends today (maybe I will make the bed :-) Needless to say, Andy and I truly appreciate all of the love and encouragement we've received. Thanks to all who have sent emails, cards or have just been thinking about us! It means the world to us.

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 ...
