“Single Mom” Day 2 Read More »
First thing this morning (after we made a quick drive-thru run at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast & coffee) I dropped Jeff and all his luggage off at the rental car place. He and his co-workers have their annual work conference, and this year it’s in Altamonte Springs. He’ll be back Thursday night, but until then, I’m “single-mommin'” it for a few days.
Last year, the conference was in Jacksonville, and Emerson and I went with him. She was only seven weeks old and I was still on maternity leave, and we got to stay in his hotel room with him. Her and I made lots of laps with the stroller around those internal floors during the day, and then got to meet up with him for meals. We also got to meet up with my cousin Sydney and have lunch with her one day too. Here’s a little photo collage from that week, one year ago…

Church this morning was amazing. We had a great, large group for Sunday school. Some of our regulars that had been out of town for a few weeks were back, others that have just been busy were there, and we just had a good class. Then worship was great (we sang one of my current faves – “All the Praise”), and the sermon about leadership was inspiring. (Although clearly I need to take off my super chippy nail polish.)

Baby nugget slept all through the night last night, then woke up so sweet and happy this morning! I made biscuits and scrambled eggs for breakfast. She ate almost an entire biscuit, about one scrambled egg, and an entire container of her Activia yogurt. And drank 5 ounces of milk. Girlfriend woke up ready to go! Once her tiny belly was stuffed full, she was ready to play, play, play!

We made it! It’s all done, and praise the Lord! If you missed the why of Emerson’s surgery this morning, read this post from yesterday, I explained the whole thing. We arrived at the 3rd floor surgery center at TMH, right at 7:25 a.m.. We checked in at the front window, and then they sent us to a smaller room for “registration” and checking all our information and insurance stuff. While we did all the paperwork, Emerson watched “Coco” on Daddy’s phone.

Look at this cute little baby girl in her pastel-ish rainbow stripes, ready to start her big day at school!

Just like yesterday, Emerson had to immediately get to work making some phone calls once we got to school this morning. She’s such a busy girl, ya know!

There’s just something about here laying there, all by herself, holding her own morning breakfast bottle, that makes her seem so much like a big girl instead of a little baby. And it’s both adorable and sad at the same time, because my girl is growing up too fast.

Phone Calls & Phish Food Read More »
This outfit was purchased specifically for her to wear to school on her first birthday. But it was so cute, I really wanted her to wear it one more time before she outgrew it, and we just barely skated by, with these tight little unicorn pants. But I love it!

Parking Lot 2nd Dinner Read More »
Sunday mornings are always extremely busy. So much so, that I usually don’t even take one photo until after church is over. I got there early for one last praise team rehearsal, then went to Sunday school, followed by worship hour. As usual, Emerson stayed awake the entire 3-ish hours. My dad had nursery duty during worship hour, and when he opened the door of her classroom, to check on the baby next door, Emerson slipped out & just took off! So he let her walk all over the place, just following along behind her. He texted me towards the end of the service, and said with all her walking, she had probably walked half a mile! And so after we got in the car, and she played with her bib for two seconds, she was out like a light!
