Drool is Dangerous!!

Emma has been a droolin' fool lately soaking through a bib per hour at times.  It seems I am constantly picking her up with her outfit soaked GRRRR.  This make mommy very cranky, very very cranky.  No one can keep up with that amount of drool!  Thursday night while iced in, I blended oats, and we gave her an oatmeal bath which helped a lot!  How can one baby make so much drool!  I don't see or feel any teeth so what's up with that??  

The drool rash started under her chin....   

then spread to the creases of her fat rolls...

Ouch!

then it spread to her back and legs..

Besides a runny nose, cough and low grade fever (2nd daycare bug) Emma and her rash are doing well!  We like the Aveeno lotion.  Thanks Auntie Kiley for the suggestion.

Winter Storm 2009

This morning we woke up to lots of ICE and no power!  Thankfully, we got our heat back after a couple of hours but there are still 200,000 still without power.  The temp won't get above freezing for a couple more days so fingers crossed for day 3 of no work/school!  :-9

our mailbox

no grilling today!

...and then it started snowing

Dan attempted to clean off the car...

..until the scraper broke

he decided to throw an ice-ball at the window 

(note the snowball in the upper right of the pic!)

Then Daisy made yellow snow, it's even too cold for Daisy to pee in the grass 

(at least she made in down the steps) :)

cAmEra sHy??

Emma is a smiling laughing chatty baby, but we can't always capture her "real" personality with the camera. It seems that our girl is camera shy. In fact, as soon as she sees the camera she just stares at it with a blank face. Maybe she is looking for the flash? In this video I propped the camera on a pillow so she would ignore it, but if you watch closely you can see she never forgets it is there and keeps glancing at it. She is quite the story teller once she gets going....

How time flies

Exactly one year ago today we learned we were pregnant!  I can't believe how fast the year has gone by!  We spent 7 months fantasizing about how great parenthood would be, and I can honestly say it has been better than I imagined!  Emma is the BEST!  

just some pics

Hey, my hair is wet and we are late to church but there is always time for a picture!!
