"Mom, what this say?"
And, when I told her it was her initials, "Emma Elizabeth C. She laughed because she thought it was awesome!

Sleeping Beauty

I sure do hate waking up this little bit in the mornings.

Big brother on the other hand has been up since 5:30A. Can I get a happy medium, please?

Car Conversations - Part 1

Noah got in the car today and immediately asked me to turn on the radio. I told he I wanted to talk about his day first, "he leaned over to Emma and said, "How was school today, Emma? Where you a champ today at school?"

Emma replied, "No. I took a rest."

Shopping with Momma

"Momma, can you take my picture by this lady?"

"And, this one too?"

The Infamous Play Castle

After dropping Noah at school this morning, Emma and I were heading to the Apple Store.  I had a faulty sleep switch and AppleCare needed to be put to use.  Once that was complete, Emma and I strolled a bit.  Browsed shoes at Dillards, ran into the LOFT, all to kill some time before we had to pick up Noah from summer school.  There was a lot of "Momma, I want to get out!"  And, "Momma, I don't like shopping," and, Momma chasing Emma out around everywhere.  So, after I came to the realization that shopping with Emma was not as easy or fun as it was with Noah at the same age, I decided to be a good Momma, and take her to the play castle.  Noah would never let me skip the play castle on a trip to the mall, and I can honestly say, that I don't think Emma has ever been in to play.  Well, she LOVED it!  I think it was her first time really roaming around with a large group of other children.  She was a bit apprehensive and extra careful to try to stay out of everyone's way.  At one point, a little boy head bumped right into her.  I was worried she might start crying, but not this tough cookie.  Speaking of cookie, I bribed her with one to leave.  She asked later that afternoon, if we could go back.  Awwh... sure thing, sweet girl!

 

Checking out the castle!

 

Super careful crossing the bridge.

This is kind of fun!

Books Before Bed

Sunday night. Daddy finishing up a call weekend. Heading to Louisiana in the morning. "Can you keep the kids up?" Noah helps out by reading Emma one of his all-time favorite books.

Going Private

So, five years ago when I started blogging, social media was nothing like it is today.  Was anybody even on the internet?  But, I think the time has come to switch this blog over to a private site.  My kids are getting older, and I've heard too many stories of stolen pictures and well, you just never know, so off to password protected, privacy land.  If you follow (and I love that you do), email me, message me, comment on the blog, and I will add you to the password protected blog.

Although, my posts have been sporadic as of late, I know there are plenty of you who follow me regularly.  Thanks for keeping up with our little family!!  I hope with a new blog and a fresh start, I can get back to making blogging a habit.  Stay tuned to find out...
