Just Sweet
Sometimes I reflect on my life and think about the things I could of done differently. One of the things I wouldn't change is staying home with Emilee, even though its hard at times. Yesterday in Church the lady giving the talk was telling a little about herself and said how she worked. Emilee looked at me and asked/told me that I didn't work. I told her no I don't work. She looked up at me and said you stay home with me, I said yes. She reached over and gave me a hug and said Thank you and I love you. That moment right there reaffirmed that I made the right decision. I love the sweet little moments that Emilee gives me.
The Dentist
For about a month I have had the feeling I should go to the Dentist. I would ignore that feeling, and justify it with one or all of the following: We need to find a new dentist, We don't have the money, I don't like the Dentist, and the pain went away. Two weeks ago the pain decided to stay, and to increase. One night it was so bad that I did not sleep, I cried. Adam being a caring husband called my parents to find out who their Dentist is (they like him) and made me an appointment.
I was scared. I spent a good portion of my life going through orthodontics and even though I had good results, it made me hate the smell and sounds of the Dentist Office. As I opened the door to the office I noticed something, or the lack of something...it didn't have the dentist smell. That put me at ease, then everyone was so nice including the Dentist. Even though he was nice he did not have good news. I would need at least one root canal, a 98 percent chance for a second and a third tooth needed a filling. I Promise I do take good care of my teeth. I finished with the 2 root canals this week, and now know that we have found our new Dentist. I didn't feel a thing while he was working on my teeth, and I only felt slight discomfort for a few days after. Adam has been great taking care of the house, Emilee and me. I appreciate how patient Adam has been, especially when I was in major pain and scared. I am also very happy not to be in pain anymore.

What we did today!
Today was a fun day, Emilee had some pictures taken of her. We got a phone call earlier this week from Russell asking us if we would be willing to help his sister-in-law Brenna. We said yes. Brenna works for the local United Way, they were taking pictures to use in their promotional materials and had someone cancel. They wanted to know if they could take pictures of Emilee. Emilee was so excited as we drove down there. She did not want us to be late to have her picture taken. It was interesting to watch everything that was going on. I can't imagine being in charge of everything that was happening. Everyone was so nice, kind and patient. They had about 7 kids there and they were all so cute. Emilee had fun today, even though at times it was hard to tell. Thank you Brenna for letting Emilee participate. Here are some pictures we took of her when we got home. The posing is all her.
Library Cart
Adam and Erik were so kind and made another project for the house. They made this way cute library cart.
I am so thrilled, it's a perfect solution. We've had to store Emilee's books on a shelf in her closet, it makes it really hard for her to get to her books, and they took up precious space. The Library Cart is narrow enough that it fits right in the closet or at the foot of her bed. It has cleared up the shelving space in our closet, and it makes it easier for Emilee to get to her books. Right now it's painted a solid white, it's waiting for me to chose a stencil so I can paint it.
Adam and Erik actually made two of these way cute carts, they are going to sell the extra one. If you would be interested in one let them know. Trust me it is so worth it, Emilee loves her cart. The cart has made it much easier for her to use her books, she has been reading so much more the last couple of days.

Through Emilee's Eyes: Pet Store
Emilee got this cute camera for her birthday and loves using it. I've decided that every once in a while we will post Through Emilee's Eyes. It will be pictures Emilee has taken with her camera. Looking through her pictures, I can tell you, it will be fun and a surprise.

Twins
That's right twins! Emilee is excited, it's too soon to tell if they are girls, boys or one of each. I have to admit that we were really surprised, I didn't think it was ever going to happen.
Okay everyone catch your breath, and take a moment to relax. To my family who right now might be a bit mad that I didn't tell you guys, ask yourself have I ever been able to keep a secret this big. The answer would be NO. Plus would I really want to tell you through a blog with the whole world and not tell you first. We really do have twins, just the babies would be FISH. We have had a fish who looks like she is constantly getting pregnant, we have never been able to catch when she has them. One day she's fat the next she's not. This has been going on for months and months, it's a vicious cycle. Last night I was talking to Adam and glancing at the fish tank, next thing I know I see something small moving. I thought it was a piece of food at first, but it kept moving so I got down to look. I was so surprised to see a baby fish. We pulled the baby out and searched for others, we moved everything and couldn't find any. So we pulled the mommy out, just in case. I woke up this morning and noticed Mommy didn't have anymore, I was thankful we found one. When I was showing Emilee the baby I noticed another one swimming in the plant where we found the first. I pulled it out of the tank, so now we have two babies. Have to admit I wish I could of seen your face as you first started reading the post.

Comfy and Cozy
Emilee's birthday is coming up, and I decided that I wanted to make something for her. I decided to make a canvas using words that describe her. I bought a canvas, painted it added some glitter and then got scared. I always get nervous before a project, because I'm never sure if what I see in my head is really going to happen. A few minutes later I started writing down words, and asked Adam to write down words. I pulled out my cricut and started cutting. I really liked the way it turned out, and hopefully Emilee will enjoy it as she gets older. Comfy and Cozy are our favorite words. Emilee is always saying comfy and cozy, when we hear those words they make us feel like she is truly happy.
