My computer has been in the shop and I have been without my pictures and all my fun stuff I like to waste hours doing.
So instead, the family and I have had to find other things to occupy our time.
We attended 2 overlapping birthday parties this past Saturday..one was at a place called the Kiddie Park for Claire, who is in Emma's class at MDO. It is a really fun place that is like a mini carnival for the younger kids. The girls got to ride in boats, airplanes, school buses, horse-drawn carriages and a carousel, among other rides. The weather was beautiful and they loved it! The family, minus me, then high-tailed it to Ainsley's 4th bday at her home. She is Emma's best friend, who she has sleepovers with and they spend all their time dressing up in Princess paraphernalia and putting makeup on! I missed the cotton candy machine, pink cupcakes and who knows what else. The theme was Pinkalicious..which is a children's book about a girl who ate too many pink cupcakes and turned pink! Emma loves it..we even got to go to a theatre play of it downtown at the Magic Theatre earlier in the week!
On Saturday, amidst all the parties, I headed to CS for a funeral..it was for my mom's dear friend and long time family friend, Ann Holt. She was instrumental in getting me a teaching job and hooking me up with the best job ever through school, tutoring! I love and miss that job!! I can explain later for those who care..but it was great! Anyway, she died fairly suddenly but I am so happy (and proud of) my parents were there for her until the last second and that me and the girls got to see her just over Spring Break! She is definitely missed but it is such a good reminder of life and how to count our blessings and live it to the fullest the way God intended us to.
On a happier note, we are expecting
baby #3 this September 19th!! We are super excited, though I have to admit the 1st trimester was the hardest for me comparing all 3 pregnancies, physically and emotionally. I am feeling 100% more like myself and getting anxious to have a belly and feel that baby dancing in my tummy! I really just started showing this week (week 16) and can still wear my regular clothes but am pretty sure my jeans will be retired very soon!!
The girls are so cute when we talk about it. I think Emma is confused, and thinks that I am just talking about Georgia as the baby and not another baby actually coming to stay! I will say and show them the baby in my tummy and Emma will say
"I have a baby in my tummy too. It is hiding under my skin from you!" Georgia just points to her tummy and says
baby and smiles.
Emma says she wants a "sister like Georgie".
I kindof want a boy this round..I am ready to buy some new clothes and get to do a boy nursery and switch things up a bit..I also have had a few different symptoms with my body compared to the last 2 times, so I am hoping that means boy!..so that is my guess!!
Daniel is thinking girl all the way, but he (not so secretively) wants a boy..
We will find out in a few weeks, so I will keep you posted!! Also and lastly, I have to get bloodword done in 2 weeks for regular stuff and for gestational (and regular) diabetes..to see if I have it again, like I did with Georgia, so if you are so inclinded, I would love some prayers on our behalf for that..it kindof scares and worries me!
Emma loved the flowers and Georgia did not.
Emma smiled and wanted to say all the colors and Georgia did not.
Maybe it's the age or maybe not. 
Only time will tell, but here is my best shot (at least for today) of the girls in Texas Bluebonnets!! 
I might try again another day but probably not.

Gearing up for another hoopla of a day. BUT..It is girls' night out tomorrow and I plan on taking full advantage!! 
Both girls had their well-check visits today. It was Emma's 3 year old check and Georgia's 18 month (very fitting as today she is 18 months exactly)!! 
They did pretty well at the dr. office. We were called back immediately which was wonderful and Emma was so good while she was being checked out. She kept trying to stand on her tippy toes when the nurse was measuring her height..it was cute! She handled it all so much better than she has in the past, so I guess being 3 suits her well! She is growing wonderfully and on target for everything! And NO shots at 3!!!
Emma's 3 year stats: height - 36.75 inches - 50th % for her age.
We then headed to our friend's house to a St. Patty's playdate. We ate shamrock shaped grilled cheese and PB&J & hamburger salad, fruits and veggies, cupcakes decorated in green and green rice krispy treats!! YUM!! Then the kids decorated rainbows with streamers and stickers and shamrocks too! It was a great day and so beautiful outside so we were able to play on the swingset and bounce house!! 
I LOVE Spring!!! Now if I could just get these girls to the dentist I would be all caught up on my duties!!
