The calm...

I never know lately if it is the calm before the storm, but things seem rather uneventful this week.

We had a great weekend with my parent's. Only two more months and they will be here permanently. I think it will take a bit of adjustment on both of our parts...they are leaving a house they have lived in for 21 years and a city they have lived in their whole lives. They are moving 30 minutes away from me...I haven't lived any closer than 4 hours away (in a different state) in 12 years. So it is going to be changes all around. But to see them with the girl's on a regular basis will be worth it all.

Joel is out of town again. The last three weeks we have been trading off traveling, so hopefully we can stay put for the next week or so after this. Emerson was really good this morning which always makes things that much easier. She was so cute, I wished I had a camera...this morning Brynn was laying on our bed on her stomach and Emerson went over to look at her and just kept saying 'I love you baby, I love you baby' and Brynn was smiling away and laughing...it was so darn cute.

Hopefully Emerson's goodness will carry over to tonight when I attempt to take both of them to music class by myself. If not, we will all be going to bed when we get home;)

Happy belated birthday to Michelle! You have two very sweet little presents;)

Also does anyone have any recommendations on a video monitor? We had one, but it died...it was a very nice gift from some friends, but it has been slowly dying. I am looking for one with night vision and some pretty good resolution. Brynn's bedroom is downstairs, so I like to be able to see what she is doing from upstairs. If anyone knows of one with two camera positions that would be great too.

Thanks for the birthday message!!

The story about Brynn and Emerson is SO cute!! They definitely love each other and enjoy being sisters. I am sure they will grow up to be great friends.

Sounds like a lot of people had parents visiting last weekend. :) It will be so nice when your parents are closer. I wish my or Brian's parents would move closer to us...

Are your parents retiring and moving out by you? How wonderful. I would love for my parents to live closer than 2 hrs from me. It melts my heart when I see the grandparents with my kids.

Also, I too love the story about the girls. Too bad you didn't give it on video. Let me know if you decide on a good monitor. I don't use video monitors, but have been thinking about it.
