Insert creative and funny title here

Well, it's 10:30pm on Sunday nite. I am done with my work for the travel agency, and I am getting ready to go to bed...I thought I would dust off the ol' blog and make an entry.

It has been a busy week. Amanda left on Monday, we had our eight year anniversary on Tuesday, we have been trying to catch up with the orders for the store, Paige turned six months old on Thursday, went to Ypsilanti for Julie's baby shower on Saturday, and at the same time Emily went to her friend Vincent's birthday party. Today, was a day of rest. And, we did. We did have some fun - we went to lunch at Red Robin - yummy.

The drive yesterday was not so much fun - there was TONS of salt on the roads from the previous night's snowfall, and that means tons of salt spray. You literally have to hit the wiper fluid every few minutes so that you can see - wore me out. The shower was very nice. Julie got lots of great and useful stuff - including a scrapbook made by yours truly. I even won a prize - got a high score on a quiz about my cousin Ryan - I would have gotten a higher score if I could have remembered that his first car was not a Ford Probe. Oh well. We are so excited about the arrival of Emerson Rae - she should be here in about a month and a half. Can't wait to see if she has her Dad's trademark hair.

I would like to say a big "You Rock" to my husband, who, very bravely, took both girls out by himself, so that Emily could go to her good friend Vincent's birthday party. I guess a few of the dads that were at the party - with their children and wives - commented that they couldn't do it. Maybe I should get Eric a SuperDad cape!! Emily had a great time, and was quite tired last night.

Well, another busy week awaits us. I think both girls have a doctors appointment tomorrow - I lost my appointment card. I will let you know what happens.

Some photos from the week:

It is SO hard to get a picture with both girls looking at the camera, and somewhat smiling. I am just happy if I get one of those things to happen.

Emily posing with her artwork. She is really into drawing monsters lately.

Came home from Costco on Friday and found Emily like this. She hasn't taken afternoon naps in over a year - but sometimes school, waking up early, running around, and just being five catches up with her. So, she sleeps, in her most beloved chair, with her most beloved Eeyore blanket. She is so sweet - she looks so young. Love those sleeping babies.

I love the sleeping pics. She is so beautiful. So young and innocent. Those are my favorite moments with my boys, watching them sleep. It is like you want to keep them young forever. I love you Miss Emm and we miss you here.

Honey, I try to be a good father and husband but it is actually you who rock. You rock for doing all the things you do without expecting anybody to tell you that you rock! So you do, in fact, rock. I just wanted to make that clear.
