Play Date at the Library

I took Emma to the library for their summer reading program this morning. We met a co-worker and her little girl, Abby, who was also in Emma's daycare class for part of this past year. The first part was for younger kids and was fast paced activities to keep their attention. The second part was for older kids and actual books were read to the kids. Then they had playtime until we left. Emma had fun and I plan on going every week until Landon comes. 

Emma, Archer, & Lotion

Kalynn and Archer came over today to hang out for awhile! He got sleepy soon after getting here and tested out Landon's crib! He napped for about an hour. We ate lunch during that time. When he woke up, Kalynn mentioned he needed lotion on his legs. Emma helped me get some of Landon's and was so sweet rubbing it on his legs!

I am so excited that she is at an age where she will be such a big help to some of Landon's daily needs!! I can't wait to see her rub Landon down with lotion! :)

KidzBlast 2014- D3

I volunteered for VBS this week at my church. I worked in Emma's class (the 2-3 year olds). They were all so sweet the whole week. They rotated to different areas within the church. Ours was from 8:00-12:00 each day this week. Emma got to experience music time, story time, recreation time, craft time, and play time. She also was served breakfast and lunch while we were there. Here she is one day during crafts drawing a picture of herself. Her faces are really good. They include a head, two eyes, nose, and mouth. She will sometimes put the nose under the mouth. :)

 Here she is one morning before we officially got started playing with the kitchen in her VBS room. 

We had a blast this week!!

Big Sister in Training

We recently started pulling Emma's old baby equipment out that we plan on using with Landon. Emma has had a blast seeing it all. She decided to bring some of her stuffed animals to lay on the activity mat and then found a book to read to them. 

 This was one of her favorite books a year or so ago. We would read it to her every single night before bedtime!!!

I can't wait to hear her read to Landon!!

Checkup for Mommy

We had VBS this morning and then ran a few errands before going to my 34 week checkup. She crashed hard in the car while I was getting my oil changed. She woke up as I was pulling into the parking lot at my doctor's office. 

 She was bring super silly in the waiting room while we were waiting for my doctor. 

When the doctor came in, she was right beside me holding my hand for comfort!! I love her sweet, compassionate heart!!!

PCB Beach Trip

We just got back from a long weekend stay at the beach. Emma left with my mom on Wednesday to head down to the beach. It was her first time away on vacation with me or Scott! We stayed home because we were working/had workshops to attend. We left Thursday after work to meet up with them for the rest of the weekend! I think Emma had enough "friends" to keep her company for the ride!

Here they are Wednesday once they arrived at the beach!

Wednesday night, mom and her friend Jill, and Emma went out to eat at Hook'd. They have awesome food! Emma was enjoying some smoked tuna dip!

Then they went out for frozen yogurt.

She loves Jill!!

Then they got up and headed to the beach early Thursday morning. Emma was telling the workers that she is three years old!

We are so glad she likes the beach because we love it!!

They took a break to eat at Sharky's and Emma was being sassy!

Here we are Friday at the pool after going to the beach. We finally convinced Emma to test out her new goggles!

Friday night we took Emma to Miracle Strip and let her ride the kiddie rides before dinner.

Saturday, we headed to St. Andrews since they have a calm area that is surrounded by big rocks so there are not any waves. Then on the other side of the sand hill is the side with waves so we went back and forth between the two sides. Emma went through a phase where she did not like her top to get wet, so we let her go topless! :) She probably would have been fine taking her bottoms off too but we didn't allow that of course!

Here I am 33 weeks pregnant hanging out in the shade!

My mom decided to head back home Saturday evening so she could prepare for her mission trip to Mexico. We ate pizza at Brick Oven Pizza and then let Emma do the jumpy thing that she was really wanting to do. 

We got up Sunday and took our time leaving. We ate lunch and did a little shopping before heading home. It was such a nice trip!!

Car Washes, Drawing, and Books!!

Emma and I went with my mom to the carwash today. Emma loves going because she gets to sit up front either in our lap or on the console while going through the wash. She calls the long brushes an octopus! :) Then we pulled into a spot to vaccum out her car. Emma did not like the loud noise and was being silly so she decided to crawl into the back window area. Her personality is so much fun and full of silliness and I love it!!!

Emma drew this picture after the car wash on the way to get a Blizzard. She started out drawing a flower but ended up with a person. Her drawings of faces are looking really good lately.

 We went to Atlanta recently and stopped by IKEA to pick up these photo shelves that we used as bookshelves. Emma's changing table had shelves that held all of her books, but she no longer needs her changing table and it was taking up way too much space in her room so we moved it out of her room. We moved her level books to these shelves and baskets. I love it because she can easily see the books she wants to grab where with her changing table, they got lost and buried so she never really went to her books. 

 Here she is all excited and showing off the three shelves we put in Landon's nursery. We moved the books from her room that were on younger level to his room. She was so sweet in deciding which books she wanted to give to him. I can't wait to see her as a Big Sister!!!
