New York New York




This Wednesday was one of the hardest days, I had to fly to New York for the day/night (24 hours) for a work event. Leaving Emma was incredibly hard......boy, I was tearful!! I am happy to report, Courtney and Emma had an awesome day and night!!! She was a great girl for her Daddy. Her Nana even came up for a visit that morning. Emma now really has Court wrapper around her finger!!!!

I did manage to surprise myself and have some fun on the trip! Boy, I had a great surprise that helped make my trip a little bit easier... I was upgraded to the penthouse suite at the hotel (the Gem Hotel in Chelsea) which happened to have a TERRACE!! And what an incredible view it had!!! The Empire State Bldg was right there, and it was located on this quite charming street... At the end of the day we took advantage and had some cocktails enjoying the night outside. I do miss that balcony, but was SO GLAD to be back home with my baby girl, hubby and Mags...

Oh the MATTRESS.......




On our way back to Raleigh, we took Colby's old mattress! Court & I were looking to replace ours, and when Colby offered we thought how perfect.....who would have imagined the drama behind the mattress!! HA It was an entertaining ride back to Raleigh!! It took about 6 of us to figure out how to strap on the mattress on top of my Mom's car....and the mattress was sliding on the roof most of the trip! It was nerve racking, especially with traveling with Emma. We had to make a pit stop in Greensboro at a Lowes to get more ties to secure it from falling off! Here are some pictures of the mattress...and notice how the plastic had ripped off in the wind!!!!!

Thankfully the mattress is VERY COMFORTABLE!! We are keeping it for a LONG TIME!!!!

Our trip to Atlanta for Colby & Robyn's Engagement Party



Emma learned how to grab her toy this weekend!


Emma & Rachel (Robyn's Mom)


Colby & Emma


We had a real fun time in Atlanta! It was Emma's first big road trip, and she was EXCELLENT!!! We stayed at Colby & Robyn's condo, and Emma did beautifully...had to go with the flow, and was such a good girl! She even hung out for some of the party! It was fun to get to meet Colby & Robyn's Atlanta friends.... Here are some of the pictures.

This week Emma learned how to grab things, it was so funny how excited she got about her new toy I got for the trip...she would grab it and smile in amazement! She also laughed out loud for the first time, at Colby! It was so funny, we all just looked at her...and she was on a roll laughing and laughing!! She melts my heart......

Emma's first day at Miss Libby's






Emma started her first half day at Libby's house last Monday. She did a great job, as we would expect! :) I think we are going to be really happy with Emma there. The children are really into Emma (she is the only baby right now), and the children are precious! We found, Libby, through my old college roommate, Rebecca Knox. Libby is a family friend of hers, and also takes her daughter there. It is near both Courtney & my work, so it is pretty easy for drop off's and pick ups. Courtney has been dropping her off and I have been picking her up in the afternoon (at 3:30). So that is nice! And a little easier on me.... It is also nice because Emma & I get to spend our time together in the afternoon/evening...and Court has his time with her in the morning.

For Emma's first day, she wore one of my old dresses....
