Look what Macie did!

I gave her a bunch of pieces of construction paper......

and she did this!  I did not help her at all!!!!  AWESOME!

Emma's 2nd Birthday Party

She had a BLAST!!!!  It was so fun to watch her open her presents, and run around with all the other kids.
Macie had a great time too.  Thank you to everyone who came, and for all the help, and wonderful gifts!

Sweetheart Dance

Daddy is accompanying Macie to her first dance tonight.  Her preschool is having a "Sweetheart Dance".  So adorable.

Emma is TWO!

Dear Emma-

You turned two yesterday!  Mommy is behind on this post, but you keep me very busy these days and there is not a whole lot of time to sit down and type.
You are two, going on 20!  The things that come out of your mouth just amaze me.  You are such a little sponge, and we have to be so very careful about what we say to you.  You don't repeat things right away that you hear.  You store them away in your little brain to use appropriately at a later time.
Some of the things you are saying as of recent:
"Thank you for opening my cereal, Mommy."
"Good Morning Honey, I missed you."
"I two!"
"Birthday party on Sunday."
"Mommy!  Poop!" (when you have to poop....not me)
You say goodbye to everyone and every thing "Bye flowers, see you soon!"  "Bye Otis, Night Night!"
You love to sing songs:
The clean up song- "cean up cean up, ashes....." (you like to combine songs)
"Twinkle little star, up above the sky."
"La la la la la.....put your hands up, put your hands up"
"Mommy duck says quack, quack, quack."
We could read you 100 books a day, and it still would never be enough.  You love to "draw paper", and play with stickers.
You love telling on your sister.  "Macie, no climb- get down!!!"  You are my second set of eyes and ears when it comes to Macie doing things she should not be doing.
You LOVE helping Mommy clean.  You grab a towel and wipe the floor, cabinets, tables, etc.  You love playing with the swiffer vac, and the broom.
You know all your body parts, and how to undress yourself completely, including your diaper.  You love being "nakey", and it's near impossible to get you dressed.  I have to put your coat on at least three times before we make it out the door.
You love George, your babies, the Backyardigans, Bubble Guppies, Caliou, having picnics, blocks, chasing your sister, and countless other toys and games!  You LOVE playing dress up with all your Princess outfits, and you put them on and say "ooooh peeeety, mirror!"
You can count to ten, and you know part of your ABC's- I think you are up to J now.
You give tons of hugs and kisses, and you know exactly when Mommy, and Daddy need hugs and kisses.  You are just the sweetest, funniest, happy (for the most part) little girl.  Every day is an adventure with you, and I love that you learn/do something new every day.  You are my shopping buddy!  You are so friendly, but yet have a shy side too.  You have to warm up before  you get going.
The last two years have been such a wonderful adventure!
Happy 2nd Birthday, Princess Emma!
Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

It's BAAAAAACK!!!!

Anyone remember THIS post?  I certainly do!
Well, it seems to be back.........
I have been doing some research, and it's very unlikely to get Fifth Disease twice....it's kinda like chicken pox.
So.......what is it then?  It's been less than a year since she had it.
UGH!
