What can happen in just 8 minutes unsupervised

By
Do you find yourself having to tell yourself "just take a deep breath"

I walk out just 8 minutes to be exact to nurse Jack and I come back to find this......



Yes, I did leave out the permanent Sharpie pen, but I wasn't smart enough to really think Emmi would draw all over my walls and windows. I guess I wasn't giving her much credit.

When I saw the damage I didn't even know what to do. I just sat there and said, "Emmi, is this for real, really you didn't just do this? "I am going to have to re paint the walls to erase all of this". So innocently Emmi says back, "You have to erase everything? But, it is so cute".

I do have to say it was kinda cute because these pictures actually resembled something. On the wall are "E's and M's. And the windows were covered with "happy faces".



I am pretty impressed with Emmi's art!!!!!!

I think every day since this happened Emmi asks either Brian or me, "Dad, Mom....are you mad cause I drawed on the wall?"

How do you respond to that?

Oh I totally feel ya! At least paint is an inexpensive fix though. In my experience...black paint is ALOT harder to get out of the carpet. :)

Oh my goodness. She is quite the artist! I know how you feel. I have been through the same with Kamri. By the way... we had Lilly tested just to see if she is a carrier for ABCA3 (just so they know when they have kids) and she isn't even a carrier. YAY!!!! Now if Kamri doesn't marry someone with that same gene we should be good! Just though you might be interested to know!

Family Pics!!!

It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Baby JACK JONES!

By
We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

I have "KIDS"

By
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
