My beautiful girl, wearing an adorable new dress for church this morning, and carrying the goodie bag from yesterday’s Princess Party as today’s purse.

Princess Party
For some reason, I didn’t photograph our day as much as I usually do… we made scrambled eggs and crescent rolls for breakfast, and then spent a few hours doing chores and laundry and yard work, so I just wasn’t taking photos during all of that…

Chicken, Eggs, & A Police Officer
I swear, September always has the most beautiful sunrises! The air was even a little cooler this morning, and it was a glorious morning!

Don’t Stop Thinkin’ About Tomorrow
By coincidence, today both girls wore mermaid outfits to school. I later learned that the triplets were also wearing mermaid outfits today, also completely unplanned!

Dinner Helper
Both of my girls looked beautiful today, in their golden-yellow outfits. Both were new, and Emmie’s cute dress even came with a matching scrunchie. It was a huge one though, and difficult to work with in her tiny little hair, but we made it work, and she looked adorable!

Ukulele Entertainment
After a fun weekend out of town, we were back to our regular routine again this morning. But at least it was Tuesday, and not Monday!

Jacksonville & St. Augustine
It is now late-ish Monday night, after a very full, very great weekend away with my little family. We packed in as much fun as we could in just 2.5 days, and we’ve got the exhaustion to prove it! I also have about 60 photos for this one blog post, so prepare yourselves!
SATURDAY
After feeding Addie her first bottle of the day, we finished packing up our bags and the car, and got on the road sometime around 8:45ish.

Packing for a Road Trip
This picture doesn’t do it justice even half way, but if anyone else saw the brightest, roundest, orange-est sun this morning, you know how beautiful it was!

Celebratory Snowballs
Emmie and Addie were both little sweethearts this morning as usual, but Emerson was especially excited today, because today was ballet and she got to bring her new leotard and tights to school with her!

Open-Heart Surgery 1 Year Anniversary
This time last year, I was literally living through the hardest day of my life – Emerson’s open-heart surgery. It was an emotional roller-coaster of a day, to put it mildly. In fact, even just re-reading last years’ blog post from that day physically hurt my heart and made me sob all over again. That experience was gut-wrenching in the worst possible way, and something that still blows my mind sometimes:
my daughter had open-heart surgery when she was just three years old.
It’s not something that’s easy to grasp, even having lived through it. And somehow, it’s still not easy to grasp even after re-living it, through reading my old blog post, and looking back now that it’s been one full year since the surgery.
The good news though, is that we can now rejoice in the successful surgery and the healing of her heart!!! She may always have a “zipper scar” down the center of her tiny chest (it’s barely even noticeable in these photos, but certainly there in real life), and she may always have a cardiologist monitoring her heart through EKG’s and echocardiograms for the rest of her life. But she no longer has two holes in her heart, and she no longer has a dysfunctional valve, and the left side of her heart is no longer enlarged.
