Just another day in Emma's world

Today I was sitting on the couch trying to figure out some knitting and Emma comes into the room from the direction of her bathroom...

"Mmm, mommy, that tastes good!!!" She says smacking her lips and wiping her hands.

Oh great now what... I go into the bathroom and discovered that she had helped herself to a taste of the liquid hand soap.... Guess we won't be able to use that as a threat in the future for a potty mouth since she seems to enjoy the taste of it!

Look Mommy, I bee-you-tiful!

So I am sitting at the table enjoying the last little bit of dinner and Emma comes in then kitchen... prancing about...

"Look mommy! I bee-you-tiful!"

"Oh really.... why is that?"

"I put lotion on my face!"

"Oh... well where is the lotion?"

"In der." Pointing to absolutely nothing in the other room.

"Well, could you get the lotion and show it to mommy?"

"Okay!" Said as she is running in the direction of the bathroom.

She comes back in the kitchen.

"Here mommy!"

She hands me the soap bottle from the bathtub and then runs off... I sigh and go back to what I am doing... to many of these things have happened today and quite frankly I am tired...

She comes running in and hands me the bottle of shampoo... "Here mommy! You look bee-you-tiful too!"

Thanks Emma... I'll get right on that...

Well if nothing else it was good for a laugh...

(At least it wasn't like last night's conversation that went something like this "Look mommy! So pretty!!" she says as she wipes Desitin on her face and hands...)

We're still alive!

I never meant for a month to go by between posts!!

We had a incredibly long and eventful month though! The day after my last post Pete was admitted to the hospital for the fluid around his heart that had returned. We were told that it would just be for observation and pain management! But the next day a different cardiologist came in and told Pete he had to have surgery that day. So after waiting all day he went in at almost five and had the fluid around his heart drained. He spent that night in the ICU then another 5 days on the cardiac care floor. It was a long week. I spent every day at the hospital and farmed the kids out to various family members. He came home after a week in the hospital.

A day after we got home Pete started making plans to leave that night to go out to his parents in Indiana since he was going to be out for another couple of weeks. But our plans got foiled when major flooding covered th NYS Thruway for miles and miles and there was no way to get west! But we were finally able to leave the next day... exactly a week after Pete's surgery. We stayed out there for week seeing family and going to parks and the zoo. Pics will follow soon when I find time!!

Then after we got home and Pete was going into his fourth week out of work we decided to occupy the time by helping out at VBS at church.

Yesterday was Pete's first day back to work... and a bad day to do it!! It was 96 degrees outside!! He made it most of the night. I told him after being out for a month and being sick and having surgery it would take time to build his stamina back up!

So another month has gone by and Josiah is seven months old now... creeping ever closer to the birth of his little sibling... Emma is still no closer to being potty trained and I am still pregnant!

Stay tuned because hopefully we will be back to our normally scheduled programing!
