Catching Up





Brady was home for an overnight visit a couple of weeks ago and Emma just couldn't get enough of her brother. Apparently that was the day that I decided to become a cry baby and when he packed up and left that afternoon I cried for hours. It wasn't a constant cry, just one of those times that if I thought about it I would break down in tears. Poor Brady thought his mom had lost her mind. I might have.



Okay, I ask you, does life get any better than this? Feet up, IPod in hand, movie on. Life is just good.






Emma loves the tractor. She would ride it all day with her daddy. She had taken the opportunity to get on it and blow the horn while daddy was working outside. Look at that face....


In other news......Brady is loving college. Brady is costing a small fortune. Apparently music education majors have to have access to lots of instruments that they are required to buy. Need I say more.

He had the opportunity to go to Memphis this past weekend for the ballgame. The Marching Band did a great job with their halftime performance. I think he had a blast.

Ashton is the escort for the Junior class homecoming attendant this week. That means a tux and lots of candy to toss out for the parade. He left home this morning in a Toga. I have no further comments.

Emma has not been eating much lunch at school and it has had them concerned. Mrs. Maria (who I have known forever) works in the front office and she helps out with lunch for the little ones. She called me to tell me that Emma isn't eating or drinking. It doesn't matter if I send her lunch or she gets lunch at school, she just wasn't eating. Apparently that has improved a little and I am so grateful. When I picked her up from school yesterday I asked her what she had for lunch and she told me very plainly "Pizza, green beans, applesauce, and apple juice." It was almost like she was saying...get off my back! I ate lunch so leave me alone. Oh this girl of mine.

Everyone who knows Emma knows how much she HATES a dress. Totally hates them and totally frustrates me. However, apparently if your Kindergarten teacher wears a dress then it's ok and now Emma is coming home from school every afternoon and putting on a dress and leggings. They don't match or hardly fit, but she has decided that she wants to dress like Ms. Savannah. Oh yes, teachers make a huge impact on our kids lives! I am thankful that we have a good one.

So many good things in this post. I hate to say it, but Brady looks infinitely older in these pics somehow. And I thought the second pic of Emma was going to be my favorite, but the pic with her feet up and the iPod is just too good.

And I love that she likes her teacher so much that she wants to dress like her! Teachers can make such an impact.
