A Lot of Firsts!!

We have experienced a lot of firsts this past week. It seems like I am only blogging once a week. I hope to get back to blogging several times a week soon. To begin our firsts, I went to the Mart in Atlanta this past Sunday-Monday with Joe and Susan (Scott's dad and step-mom). It was a great experience. Scott experienced his first night at home with Emma alone and did great. My mom fixed him lunch Sunday and then he went out to eat Sunday night with some good friends of ours, so he had it made. :) But I am still proud of him. I told him I could go off more often! He did not agree!! Haha. 

Our really good friends, John and Erica, had their first baby Monday evening. Erica was the friend in my last post who was past her due date. Here is sweet Iris. She is so sweet. We saw them Monday when I got back into town. I cannot wait to see her again real soon.
Tuesday was Scott's birthday. We went to my moms for pizza and ice cream cake. The ice cream cake was a first for Emma and she LOVED it. But we did not expect any different.
It was so good!!!
With the help of my brother, dad, and his dad and family, he was able to get a bike rack he had been wanting. He got a nice back several months ago and was wanting an easier way to transport the bike rather than throwing it in his SUV. We are wanting to get me a bike soon so that will help with both of them.
Last Friday, Emma and I went to a local pottery painting place so she could paint Scott something for his birthday. It was her first time painting. We picked it up today and it turned out very cute. I painted the blue background and she painted the green and red. Then the owner helped get Emma's handprint onto the tile that we gave him so he could use it as a coaster in his office at work. We took it to him today at work and he liked it a lot.
