Sticker Power

There is something called sticker obsession that is going on in the Birkeland home at the moment. Emmi used to hate anything that stuck to her. She would panic until someone helped her get it off. It all changed on one particular night.

I had all the Young Women over one evening, so Brian took Emmi out on a couple of errands. They went to Office Max and she picked out a package of stickers. She brought them home and soon every girl had a sticker on their forehead or hands. By the end of the night this is how she looked.




Hilarious. I am still picking up stickers in the most random places. All her dolls are plastered with stickers. Our furniture, floors, and clothes have been tagged. I can't complain about the obsession because it entertains her for hours.

She is so cute! Mallory has just started eating stickers. I don't know what that is all about. She comes to me and says "mama, I eat it". It always seems to be stickers that she tries to eat. Emmie is such a doll:)
She looks cute with all those stickers! I love the sticker on your husbands forhead!

I love the look on Brian's face with the sticker on his forehead and Emmi being so obsessed with the stickers she isn't looking at the camera. How cute is that.

P.S. Work was okay but I totally got the "are you new?" vibe that really sucked. I hate how there is no one there anymore so I'm ecstatic that you might be there once in a while. How did your appointment go today???

Oh yeah, I love the sticker obsession phase. Seriously, they work so hard with their little fingers to pull each one off. Grant would concentrate so hard. It's such a good way to keep them busy.
She is so cute...I love that she loves stickers!!!
And I love that her finger nails are painted!
Hey this week is bad but do you want to get together next week for dinner??? Or movie?? or just to talk??

Lucy's Birth

Today I am going to sit down and take the time to journal Lucy's birth story.  My feelings are still so fresh and I want to remember my experience forever.  When I found out I was pregnant with Lucy I had feelings of apprehension and fear.  I wasn't ready for another baby nor was Brian to say the least.  I actually kept the news to myself for weeks, till I could no longer keep it to myself.  I knew that I had to keep working to keep the family afloat and if there were any complications we could not survive without my income.  Lots of prayers were said to keep this baby inside me so I could take care of our family and house.  To say the least my prayers were answered and this was the most smooth sailing pregnancies yet.  I was able to work part-time and at the end go full-time, and actually Brian and I were able to travel to Europe for 2 weeks when I was 24 weeks pregnant. Sweet! Since the day I told Brian I w...

I have "KIDS"

So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment

Reality Check

Holy Cow.......Brian and were just relaxing on the couch enjoying some Christmas music, our Christmas tree and lighted mantle with the stockings hanging.  We had a reality check when we saw 5 stockings hanging.  We are almost a family of 5.  Wow.......pinch me!  We are getting so excited to welcome our newest 5th member of the family. It's amazing what two people can accomplish in 10 years.
