when life hands you lemons...

make lemonade!

Emma is learning that lesson early in life... she likes lemons and has the drool and smile to prove it!! She has been teething pretty bad this week with lots of whining, fussiness and pain.. I feel for her and am trying lots of things to help her out.. some successful, some not so much!


We did have a great weekend with beautiful weather and some visitors.. we never made it to Alabama to see my dad, but Jimmy and Chad came to visit and that was a lot of fun.. We drove the "8-wheeler" all over the land and even into Lake Jennie.. We watched football on the deck and played lots of games of Catch Phrase and Uno. Emma was a doll and let Chad and Jimmy hold her.

This week we are stuck inside with constant rain and weather in the 40s.. so our heater is back on! It is ok until Emma gets grumpy! We are trying to get ready to make the drive to CS to see all the grandparents.. it is tough to pack and hold a baby at the same time.. Daniel says, then just put her down, but it is hard when she clamps her legs around me and then when I successfully get her undone and close to the ground she stiffens her legs so I can't put her on her butt.. she is not that good at standing, but is getting better with balancing on things, especially on the dogs. They are being good sports and allowing it, though!

Aww, sounds like you guys had a really good week. We can't wait to see ya'll! It is officially Kylee's 1/2 year old birthday today, and she is miserable with teething, too :-( Tylenol seems to be the only thing helping her...Squeeze her for us :-)
