My sweet Emmie-cille was looking so cute, in a new adorable, summer-y outfit, and reading lots of books at drop-off this morning.
You guys, this salad I made with last night’s leftovers was sooo good. With the remaining lettuce, walnuts & dressing from the bagged salad kit, I added chicken, blueberries, raisins, and some fancy shredded Parmesan cheese, and it was delicious! (Also, this book has been surprisingly good, and really cute. If you like chick-lit, rom-com type stuff, and/or Harry Potter, you’d definitely love this! I have about 30-ish pages left, and I’ll probably finish it tonight before bed, finishing it in like 36 hours total.)
Here are some of the photos we got from Ms. Kristin today. I love that she’s barefoot in these first two! She’s clearly comfortable there 🙂
Our normal Wednesday-night dinner group was mostly out of town tonight (four folks out of town), and Grandmommie was staying with Megan & the triplets tonight. Jeff was supposed to be leaving with the boys youth group camping trip (it got cancelled due to weather), which meant only Emmie and I would be at church. So instead, Megan invited Emerson and I to come visit her and the triplets and Grandmommie, so we went! (Also, we won’t be at church this coming Sunday {attending Meg’s church for the triplets’ dedication}, so I didn’t need to be at choir tonight.) And I’m glad we were able to go, because I was missing my nieces, after spending so much time with them these past four days!
I took her picture standing here in front of the garage the other day, so she just stopped here again tonight for me to do it again. So silly!
Emerson was super sweet with the baby girls tonight, helping out burping, wiping & giving them their paci’s. She was always very concerned when any of them would fuss or cry, and loved to help out.
Aunt Meggie was being crazy with Emmie on her shoulders, and she was laughing so hard!
We made up a hodge-podge picnic dinner of leftovers, yogurt, chips, sandwiches, and some fresh (gluten free) pasta salad Meg made earlier today. I had a turkey sandwich & pasta salad, and it was so good! Emmie literally had a little of everything.
She wore Uncle Bo’s shoes around for a few minutes.
Ellie Grace didn’t want to hang in her rock-n-play like her sister’s, so I got some special one-on-one time with her. She was being so cute & sweet! And look at Emmie & Grandmommie in the background, checking on Riley.
And she stopped in front of the garage door again on our way back to the car.
Jeff had popped up the tent in the carport to air it out a bit, and then didn’t end up packing it back in the bag, since the trip got cancelled, so Emmie and I were surprised to see it still up when we got back home. But she had fun playing in it for a few minutes before heading inside!
She wanted me to read her bedtime books, but she wanted a few snuggles from Daddy while I said her prayers.
I sang her a few songs, and rocked her for a few minutes, and then she was ready to lay down in her crib. Gonna grab a quick snack, and a glass of fresh water, then get my book and finish it before bedtime!
