For the Record

I feel like I need to catch up (for myself and purposes of blog printing, really).  This will be a random post chock full of info with little pictures.  Let's see, who is first?

Emma is person of the week this week at school.  She gets to bring items for the Me Museum.  We found her choices a bit funny, but totally Emma.

We have: The top cover of Monopoly (yup, not the game, just the lid), her ballet medal from over two years ago (just to remind us that she really loves ballet and is a bit miffed she doesn't do it anymore!), a plastic Easter egg, her wallet, a hair scrunchie, the skirt of a build a bear, her ballet book, a sequined scarf, a jean purse, an empty chocolate rabbit box (yes, trash and why she has it?!), and my old baby blanket.  To round it all out, the black thing is a vacuum attachment.  Um, ok.  Because she loves to vacuum? I don't quite understand that one.  But she took great care in picking these things out so they must all be special.  Ben did the cooking project in her class today, so it was extra fun for her to have daddy there. She also has been eating oatmeal every morning to "give her enough energy to be person of the week." quote from Emma.

Bailey- Nothing much for him except the kid eats like a 400 pound man and has no fat on him.  Plus he appears to be sprouting as tall as a giant.

Nathan- We really need to get his obsession of riding his stick horse around on video.  He gallops on it everywhere!  Thank goodness the rain is over because Nathan needs his outdoor time.  I could see him living as a mountain man quite easily.

Kate- We might have a walker on our hands.  The past few days she has been doing the walk until you fall, get right up, walk until you fall thing around the house.  She loves to climb as well.  HEr hair is getting curlier and curlier in the back just like Emma's was. 

Addison- She has been trying to walk a lot more as well.  Mostly when she can hold one of my hands.  But as with most everything else, once Kate gets up and going, she figures she has to do it to.  Her poor clogged tear duct is still bad and the doctor won't do anything about it yet.  So, she looks like she is crying all the time, but she's a pretty content little girl.  Her most favorite thing lately (well, person to be correct) is Tammy at the gym daycare.  She jumps over the front desk if she is working up there the second we walk in, and clings to her for dear life when I go to pick her up.  Of course, Tammy loves that Addy loves to be with her so much and enjoys all the hugs as well. 

7 days until Bar results...yikes.  I'm really trying not to think about it for my own sanity.  It's almost like being 9 months pregnant, over your due date and you have to wait until the doctor will either induce you or the baby decides to come out.  So, we are trying to fill up our time doing fun things as a family to not think about the giant belly.
