A Sad Goodbye


Emmies has come and gone ( sniff sniff). It was a sad ride home from the airport. Reese was crying, I was crying and intermittently we sang Pop Goes the Weasel then cry some more. Reese has never cried like that saying goodbye to anyone before so it was really sad. It was a great week. We had so much fun! Probably what made for the sad goodbye. Reese hadn't had this much fun and attention since Henry was born. We (and by we I mean Reese and Emily) went to the pool or splash pad almost everyday. She got fun new toys and she finally got her face painted! It was especially nice for me because it was like I had one kid again and not just any aged kid but a super easy infant kid. Reese basically clung to Emily all week and I was absolutely fine with that. Reese loves her Aunties but I think because Emily has been able to come and see us so often she is especially comfortable with her. Here is a week in Pictures with our Emmies! Thanks for coming. We will sure miss being such a cheap plane ride away from you when we move. 
 Reese had snack time . . . 
 nap time . . . 
 Exercise time . . . 
 pool time . . . 
and face painting time with Emmies everyday!
Reese has been wanting to get her face painted forever. She asks me almost everyday! I have taken her every week on tuesdays for the past month to get her face painted by this chic at a free event here in Atlanta and every time she gets too scared to do it. She watches face painting videos on youtube all of the time. So when Emily bought her face paints, you can imagine, the girl went crazy. For the past 3 days we all have gotten our face painted by Reese. Even just now as I laid her down for a nap she asked me if she could face paint after sleepy time. It is always on her mind. She is a pretty good little artist don't you think?

Oh yeah this guy was here too this week!
