No School Tuesday and Pics

Bo and Emma at the CNY celebration.

Emma was completely mesmerized by everything going on. Isn't this the sweetest picture of her and her big brother?

Emma has learned how to give kisses. She just puts her whole open mouth on your cheek and almost bites you. It's so sweet and she is actually sharing her kiss with Ashton.

Giving Brady a big kiss.

Okay, so we actually got a little ice this morning and schools are closed. It could be a long day at the McGowan house. Emma has been up since 6:15 a.m. which has become her ritual. She never sleeps late. The boys are stilled holed up in the man cave and I am attempting to accomplish very little at this point.

Emma is so clingy that it's hard to get anything done. The only thing she is the least bit interested in is Baby Einstein and that doesn't usually entertain her for long. She really wants to know where I am and what I am doing at all times. She also wants me to walk her all over the house. I will be very glad when she can finally walk. She wants to so badly and I know that it frustrates her that she can't just take off.

I would like to ask everyone to lift our dear friend Christian up in your prayers. He is having a very difficult time right now following his bone marrow transplant. He is suffering from severe mouth ulcers and his mouth is swollen and extremely painful. He is on very strong pain medicine and continues to suffer. Please pray that he will have pain relief and that the ulcers will be gone soon. Also please pray that his bone marrow transplant is successful. It is still a matter of time before they will know if it is. This family is going through so much right now and they need every one's prayers. They are the most wonderful people and I can't begin to imagine what they are feeling.
