Manic Monday... again.

Okay, I feel like I've been on the go since Friday morning. With Emma skipping naps, trying to get advertising out for the whole Madness stuff and my parts of various team kits done on time. Not to mention church yesterday and the family hay ride with cookout last night. Oh and I did mention that Emma is finally co-operating with the potty training? She's using to the potty at least 2 times a day to pee-pee sometimes more. She goes back and forth on the panties issue but has had few accidents so far. She even used someone else's potty at the cookout yesterday and we all know how big that step is (public potty time). Needless to say it's been an interesting weekend, it's been really crazy. So now let's take a moment to catch our breath. Let's look at some of the photos from yesterday: First is Emma in her "witchy" outfit. Emma and her boyfriend Kullan in the car on the way to the cookout. Kullan sharing the love, Emma rejecting him. Emma learning to play catch with out pastor and his dog. More catch and the cookout. A jam session with our musicians. They play every week for service too but the musical selection is different. The Hay Ride! We took the second one once it was dark out, not much to see but still fun! Emma on the hay ride, eating a hotdog.

I'm doing better but still a bit freaked out about all of this. I wish I was home so I could go see her instead of having my best friend Emily keep calling me with updates. She's been a rock for everyone calling people and as a nurse helping them understand what's going on. I have no new news as the time difference makes my getting of updates hard. So thank you again. Happy Scrapping!
