Daddy's home!!

In case you don't know, MnEm are both rolling over now. They both rolled over in their cribs on the same night from their bellies to their backs. Matt can roll over onto his belly now too. He pulled that one off last weekend. Emma can't be bothered with it. Melissa said she tried yesterday, so it shouldn't be long. I'll get some video this weekend and put it up.

Emma has been stressing me out for the past two weeks. When I get home from work around 5pm, they are both happy to see me. When 6pm comes around something happens to her. The theory is that she is tired and refuses to go to sleep. She gets very fussy and is hard to consul until bath time. Matt get's this way too, but not as often. It just gets on my nerves because Monday through Friday from 6-8pm, I can't really enjoy being with her. When I pull into the driveway, I can see Emma's swing in the window. And when I see it swinging, I get excited because it means she is probably asleep. From now on, I need to mentally prepare myself for an evening of FrankenEmma.

Nana & Pappy's visit

Nana & Pappy came down for a visit last weekend, Sept. 8th. Mom didn't want to mail Melissa's baptism gown, so they hand delivered it. We got so much done. Our yard was a mess, so we cut the grass and planted flowers. It looks like a million bucks, or at least $300,000. I've got to get a couple things we missed this weekend and clean out the front flower bed. I should get some more mulch too. My toe is hurting, so I'm not so sure I'll be able to get much done. I go to the doctor on Monday. Hopefully he can fix my ingrown toe nail right then. Then after we were done working, they were brave enough to take on MnEm and gave us some green to go out to dinner. It's hard to pass up an opportunity like that, so we went to It's About Thyme. Not too much new on the baby development side. They are starting to interact with their surroundings a little more. Emma hits the toys on her bouncy seat and they both stare at the TV for short periods. Matt has been in a bad mood this week and Emma has been a little angel, as long as it is before 6pm. I don't know what happens to that girl when the clock strikes 6pm, but she doesn't like it. She won't sleep and she's not happy until she gets her bath and even that doesn't always quiet her. Ah, parenthood.
