Happy Valentines Day & Farewell, CC

First off, Happy Valentines Day! I've gone on and on several times about why I love my husband so much, and how awesome he really is. Rather than a similar post to what's been done on here before, here are a few things lately that remind me I have the BEST husband.

+When I was pregnant, he gave me a massage almost every night. And guess what? It hasn't stopped!
+Since we've had Emerson, he makes sure Stone gets an outing every day, whether it's to the gym, or to the park to throw his boomerangs. It gives Stone a chance to burn off his energy, and it gives me a chance to get a nice nap in.
+He files things I say away in his head, saving them as suprises for me. For example, last week, I mentioned Lady Antebellum's new album came out, and guess what he came home with yesterday? Lady Antebellum.
+He offers to burp, change, and put Emerson back to sleep after her late night feeding, so I can get back to sleep.

I am SO lucky to have him.

NEXT: CC'S VISIT:

As I mentioned a few posts back, my Mom (known as CC to the grandkids), was here helping us with our new addition (well, and our terrible-twos-two-year-old, aka Stone). While she was here, we gave Emerson her first bath, we sewed (can you believe it?!), played silly string with Stone, and just chilled.

First Bath:

Okay, do you remember me saying I got a sewing machine for Christmas? Not this past Christmas....not the Christmas before that...but the Christmas before that (2007). I am ashamed to admit this, but it's never been out of its box. It's just always intimidated me. I've needed someone to show me how to use it, and every trip my mom's been on here, we never get around to it. Well, since I have a girl now, it was inevitable that it would make its way out of the box....AND IT DID! AND I HAD A BLAST! We made some cuuuute burp clothes. ...all of which I hate to use now because they are so dang cute.

FINAL PRODUCT:
Stone's adjusted GREAT with having a new little sister in the house. He loooooooves her. We have to keep our eye on him 24/7. Well, we got some silly string one day, and he had no idea what to expect. He loved it....
My mom got him first:

Then it was his turn to get her:
And I can't leave out the tent. My mom brought a tent for Stone, and boy did this keep him entertained. We finally took it down when my mom left, and decided to pull it out for special occasions, because this is where he napped, slept for the night, and well, where my mom ended up spending more time than I'm sure she anticipated.

We actually got my mom for a bit longer than planned. The Lubbock airport was having major issues, and all flights were canceled for a couple days. Her flight was canceled, then her new flight was delayed twice. Thanks, Mom!! We loved having you here!!
