Happy Birthday to Me and 1st days

Yes, I'll say it - Happy Birthday to ME! I turned 31 on Thursday and enjoyed having 5 hours of peace with Emma. Kris gave me a beautiful framed picture of the Michigan Big House that will go in our Michigan/Penn State basement once we start that project (the new tv came this week so we're starting!). We went out to Macaroni Grill for dinner and had a nice time. I received some great gifts from my parents and in laws (mother, sister, brother).


Ryan has been enjoying school. Thursday he took another nap on the bus ride home, which is great for him since he spends quite a bit of time on the bus. Luckily so far, it hasn't effected naps on the other days. We've moved his bedtime a little later so that 1- I can get Emma to bed first and 2 - he will hopefully sleep later. So far I've got number one, but not the second. It has eliminated him running around his room for an hour after we put him to bed though. So in all actuality he is going bed earlier now! I must say I enjoy playing and being with him a lot more since I get a break. Even yesterday wasn't too bad with him all day. Probably since I don't have so much to do when he's home!

Emma had her 4 month appointment on Friday that went well (read more at her website), then we played with some friends at B&N. She's doin great but being a bit fussy. We still think she's teething because of all the drool, but she's also trying to get her naps in order which has been making her crabby when she doesn't get enough sleep.
Today, although I was looking forward to a nice afternoon with the kids (and a little time to myself while they both napped) a migraine decided it was more important so my day was shot. Kris, who's been painting our porch chairs all weekend, took the kids out to get me medicine and to the park so that the house was quiet. I was so thankful. Even Ryan was great. When he got up from his nap, the first thing I told him was that I wasn't feeling good and to listen to Daddy. He found me a few minutes later in the bathroom because I got nausous and gave me kisses and hugs. When they came home from the park, he cuddled with me on my chair for a half hour not asking for anything more than to sit with me. It was great and so unlike him!
