Nate, Ben and Rachel are off to a JAZZ game tonight. It's just Emily and I together. We are having a lovely time. Funny, Emily cried when her daddy left. But, with my promise of a trip to the store and treat and maybe more she brightened right up. . . and she hasn't stopped talking since. As we wandered through the Walmart her voice was alive with comments about everything she saw. She normally has to compete for attention. I feel sure she knew that I was there to give her all of my attention for the night. We bought her some bathtub foam alphabet toys. She is singing the ABC song at the top of her lungs while playing in the bathtub. She is a doll. She has transformed while I wasn't looking. What a blessing it was to be just the two of us tonight. My baby is gone. I will miss her. But in her place is the sweet new little spring flower. Amazing.

So sweet. I always get so sad when I see a glimpse of the baby that my kids once were. But it is fun to have them grown up!
I can understand how you feel! My babies are now 25 and up...and it makes me sad too that I'll never hold those wiggly, squirmy toddlers again. But, now I have my grand grandkids.
Emily is a beautiful spring flower too...the prettiest kind. Glad you had a good time with her.
What a darling picture. Somehow they seem to know they're turning into "big girls" too! Those bathtub moments fly by, it's hard to see kids grow up!!
WE sure had fun at the Jazz game. Too bad Nate had so much trouble getting to us. I hope they still had fun!
I'm planning on next Wed. I think Mom might come too!
So sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better by school tomorrow. What are they doing without super teacher to control all those kids? Hopefully I'll get to come up another time soon. Love You!!
