Spring Fling

The weekend before Easter, there was a Spring Fling on post. We decided to take the kids (Emily and Ethan) to see what it was all about. They had a great time! It really helped us all get excited for Easter and gave Emily a chance to practice hunting for eggs.

In action!


Daddy decided to help her out since it was kind of chaotic.

A huge milestone for Emily... and Mommy!

Today was something that I have been stressed about for so long. I finally got a job! This meant that I also had to put my baby in a daycare. I have never been away from Emily like this and I was very nervous about it. I had to have looked at a hundred daycares last week before choosing one I thought would be best. I started my job today which is in Auburn. It is a little tricky because they are a hour behind us. So when I am getting off at 5 pm their time, it is really 6 pm our time. Then we have a 45-60 minute drive home.This is going to take some getting used to. Anyway, this was also Emily's first day at "school". This week also happens to be a theme week at the school. Today was wear a hat day and bring your favorite book with you. Emily chose a Dora book which was no surprise :) I was so proud of her this morning. We left very early because we were not sure of the traffic at that time in the morning therefore, we were not really in a hurry. When we got to the daycare she told me that she didn't want me to leave. This was before we even made it into the building. I thought "Well this is it! I am not going to work because I can not leave my baby!" Once we got inside, she did great. She sat with the teacher and showed her the Dora book that we had brought. I kissed her and then left. Neither one of us cried!! I was certain that I was going to lose it but I didn't! At lunch I was going to stop in and check on her but decided against that. When I picked her up this afternoon, the teacher sent a note home telling me that Emily had done great today! She said she played very well and did wonderful going to the potty! The teacher's assistant said that Emily was very well behaved. I am very proud of Emily! Here are some pictures from this morning.

Here she is outside of the school before going inside.



Here she is once we finally made it inside.

Brittany's Step Show

Brittany is a member of the step team at East Coweta High School. Her school hosted a competition and there were several schools that attended. RT had to work this day so Emily and I made the trip up to East Coweta to support Brittany. Here are a few pictures from that day.




There was a clown there that was painting the faces of the younger kids. This is Emily getting her face painted.

A trip to the fair

A fair came to Stockbridge which is close to my Dad's house. We took the girls and they had a blast. Emily and Briane have gotten to be really close. Emily will tell me "Briane is my best friend." Although they fight like cats and dogs sometimes, I know that they love being together. Here is our trip to the fair.

My birthday.

I realize that my birthday was almost a month ago but I still wanted to blog about it. We got a group of friends together and had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. We then headed to the Funny Farm to see a few comedians. It was hilarious! I was crying I was laughing so hard at times. This was the first time that I have ever been to a comedy club so I was not sure what to expect. It turned out to be a really good experience and I had a lot of fun!
Here are all the girls!




The Guys!

Then a group shot.
