AWOL

So I know I need to update, but I feel like I am doing a term paper that I waited for the last minute to start...I am working to finish Emily's scrapbook before my parents get here on Monday (and we celebrate Em's first birthday on Wednesday). I haven't even checked email and if I didn't have a husband, I wouldn't know who won the election.  I am close and if I can get to the store today (not so likely since M worked all night and then had court in the morning, so he is probably going to sleep until he goes to back to work), I could finish tomorrow.

Anyway, thought I would take this moment to update on my brother in law. He is out of the hospital, came home on Tuesday and seems to be doing pretty well. He can't climb the stairs yet but has at least been able to help out with the girls while my sister is at work. My sister's best friend will be there this weekend and next week my brother and his family will get to stay for a week and help with all the work that needs to get done. Mitch will try to start going back to work in a week.

Just a couple of the pages from Em's book....this is when we were first starting to hold her...her first shirt she ever wore and the diapers that were way to big for her for such a long time.

I have been using shapes of body parts to explain what is wrong with her so she doesn't get overwhelmed and if she wants to follow one problem at a time, she can just follow the shape...you can see a brain, intestines and a sack of blood for blood issues.

 

People keep asking me if they are too late to send in a note for Emily's yearbook...nope.  Her notes will be at the end of the book and since this is scrapbooking, I can always just add more pages.  Thanks!
