A lot has happened since the last time I posted. Emme turned two and we celebrated by having a party last Saturday. The theme was an ice cream sundae party. All the children were able to decorate their sundaes and enjoy cake. We had everything set up outside- the food, the jumpy thing, the trampoline, everything. I don't know why I overlooked one small detail... THE HEAT. It was seriously insane. Like high 90's. It was miserable! Emme's cake was honestly melting and balloons were popping. We promptly decided to take the party inside. It worked out great and much cooler! Can I please just tell you about my child. In the middle of opening gifts, she decided she was over it. She left the room, got her pacifier and blanket, and was done. No more opening gifts. She is just so funny like that. I don't want to call her antisocial, but once she has had too much, she just decides no more. So strong-willed!!
Jason's mom and stepfather came in town for the party. We enjoyed visiting with them and had a nice dinner Friday night. I brought my camera but didn't realize I forgot the battery! Emme had a GREAT time with them.
Monday we were met with the effects of Hurricane Gustav. We were VERY lucky. Other than trees down and electricity out for awhile, we were pretty much unharmed. We were supposed to have received much worse. Jason, Emme, and I spent the day at my parents just to be safe. Our house is surrounded by tons of trees. We just got our cable, Internet, and phone back tonight. YAY! How sad is it that I was quite bummed to have missed 90210 and Gossip Girl. Perhaps I need to grow up, but it's just too much fun to watch those shows! Having no TV was actually a good thing- we had lots of quality family time. When Emme went to sleep, Jason and I watched the first two seasons of Northern Exposure. While this might seem boring, you must remember that I record Murder, She Wrote and Newhart every night.
Today was my first day back at work and Emme's first day back at school. I was a little nervous when we pulled up, but she started clapping and cheering. What a difference! I am including a slideshow of some pics of Emme's party.

looks like you had a great time! happy birthday, emme!!
i am happy to know that i was not the only one aniticpating the return of 90210. but, i am a little ashamed to admit that i liked it!! :) joe was making fun of me and said he would "maybe" watch it if steve returned...but that is it. i asked joe if teenagers even understood how big this way and he said that the show was made for "people" like me that are still watching shows about high school!
anyway, it is the subject of many funny conversations around our house. i am just glad it is on a night that joe has class...it can just be my guily pleasure :)
Bran,
Love the pics! And I am so glad Gustav didn't come early and ruining Emme's party. I guess it is easier to deal with heat then a Hurricane :)
Gossip Girl and 90210 was great! Not sure about Gossip Girl but I am sure they will replay 90210, especially since they have been talking it up for weeks now.
Happy birthday to Emme!! Sounds like a fun party! Emma Kate is still talking about how it is Emme's birthday!
