Given a little props

and a great big thank you! Greg finished #2 in the entire Texas Republic for the month of January (at work)! Woo-hoo! Way to go!
Thanks for working so hard to provide for all us girls! We love you and appreciate all you do! You are the best husband and daddy we could ever ask for!

The littlest mommy

So here I am changing Addison's diaper (which is often a job needing two people) and Emory is standing at the foot of the changing table looking at Addison. Emory said, "Oh Mom, Addison's missing a sockie sock, she needs it on her footy foot her toesy wosies don't get coldy cold." Okay, I don't talk that way, so I'm not sure where she got it from! Then she finds the sock in Addison's bed and gives it to her and starts talking to her (in her sweetest voice), "Baby Girl, do you know where you put your socky sock? That's right, on your foot. Good job Baby Girl!" Then Addison starts squirming around a little so Emory picks her shoe up from her changing table, it was a soft sole shoe (Robeez if you're famaliar with all this stuff), sticks her hand inside and starts pretending it's a puppet! She started talking in a disguised voice and said, "well hello there little girl, my name is shoe. What's yours?" Addison got the biggest kick out of her big sister/little momma...and so did I (but you're not allowed to call me big momma or any variation of that).

We've always known Ems was a great mommy to her babies and she is so caring and loving this doesn't really surprise me at all! I just love the details of this specific story and wanted to share it and have her read it to her babies when she's a Mommy for real!

Wonderful weekend

On Friday I had the pleasure of meeting my dear hubby in San Antonio for a night of dining and celebrating with the folks from his office. (Their office kicked the rears of all the other offices across the country so it was a little treat for all of us). We spent Saturday morning walking around and eating on the River Walk before heading up to Fort Worth to celebrate my sister's birthday with everyone. The girls had a great time with my sis and parents while we were in San Antonio, getting spoiled of course! They had a shopping excursion to Target, got to play at the park, play on the computer, take bubble baths and get all made-up! Here are a few pictures of their fun

Celebrating Nini's birthday at dinner was greatly enjoyed by all! Thanks for including us in your celebrations! Hope this year is your best year ever!

Break through?!?!

I think Emory might have finally had the ah-ha moment and I couldn't be more excited or proud of her! She has finally figured out the concept of controlling when she does and does not go to the bathroom! She has not had an accident in over 24 hours!!!! I hate to count my eggs before they hatch, but seriously...this is huge! Keep postivie thoughts coming our way and we will hopefully keep this trend alive!
