Opening Weekend

James went on his annual Guy's weekend with Ed, Mike, Brad, and Danny for opening weekend of fishing season up in Big Pine. Last year they stayed up for I think it was 6 days but this year they only did 4 days. Luckily there were fish. They were worried because the department of fish and game didn't stock the area until the night they arrived to camp. Until then they thought there weren't going to be anything to catch this year. He brought back 5 good sized fish this year and probably caught 30 plus, overall.

*TMI Warning* Poop Talk!

I'm taking it easy on solids with Emily right now because she finally went poop today after going over 9 days without any movement. On day 7 I spoke to the PA at her pediatricians office and she said to give Emily pears. So that night she got no cereal and pureed pears. Nothing. So on day 8, I called the Dr. office again and the PA said give her pear juice and no solids. Then she said that if she doesn't go by day 9 to take her to the ER. (I should mention that Emmy's ped, Dr. Sharma was on vacation still for Easter.) Well Friday, day 9, there was still no poop and her poor stomach was all big like a budda belly. We got ready to take Emmy to the ER when I told Jimmy that I wanted to swing by the peds office one more time since I knew Dr. Sharma was finally in the office and get his opinion. His office was on the way to the ER anyways. He said there isn't any reason to take her to the ER just yet but if by Monday (12 days) she still hasn't gone then to come back in the office. Thank goodness my Mommy instincts were right on to get the doctor's opinion. Because after leaving Dr. Sharma's an hour later she finally went..... and went.... and went! I want to say it was probably about 4-5 cups worth! Poor little girl! I'm going to take it easy on solids now since her little system is getting backed up. But at least we avoided a trip to the ER!

Our First Family Easter

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

The Wahl's were so generous to have us over for Easter day. There aren't any small children on either James' or my family so we went to our best-friends' house. Emily is too young yet to get to do the egg hunt - but next year... watch out! :o)



Alyssa (almost 7) and Emily (6 months)

Robin said that after we left Alyssa told her that , "Auntie Liz loves Emily more than me!" and Robin told her, "well.. yeah! She's her Mommy." Too funny!!

First Time with Fruits!

Emily had her first fruits today! She had bananas with her cereal this morning. She still hasn't master the whole "swallowing"- thing yet! But she already like to try to feed herself.
