The Past Couple of Weeks

The past couple of weeks, we have been busy with a little of this and that.  Robert started a new job at Parker and Sons, so we have been adjusting to the new schedule of earlier mornings and later nights.  We are hoping this move will lead to bigger and better things in the near future!!
Last weekend we celebrated Robert's birthday.  Emma was very excited about the presents, but I don't think she thinks we did enough to celebrate.  After Robert was done opening, she said "where are more presents", then she asked for birthday cake.  I think she has birthdays down!  After we said that was it, she then said "Emma needs presents".   We told her that she didn't NEED presents, but that she would get some at Christmas and that Christmas came when it was cold outside.  Since then, about every other morning when she wakes up, she asks if it is Christmas.
Last weekend I headed out for a girls night to buy some jewelry.  Jenni's soon to be sister in law Thea, just opened up a jewelry shop on Etsy and held a trunk show here in town.  I knew that the little girls would probably be there, but I decided that Emma could stay home with Robert so I could do a little shopping, relaxing, and drink a glass of wine!!

The group.

Some of the goods.  (There is a give a way for a $20 certificate to Thea's shop on my Photography Blog)

This week, I drug Emma and my Mom out into the heat to try and find a new photo location.  Even though we were already 100 degrees by 9am, our trip was a success.  Here is one of the photos from the new location.  In a couple of days, I will do the full post on my photography blog.


Robert's first night of being on call was last night, and he literally worked 24 hours.  I thought I would give him a quite house to try and catch up on sleep and Emma and headed out to meet Jessica and Sophia at Pottery Barn Kids for a special story time.  They read a couple of Eric Carl books, sang some songs, and colored some pictures.  The girls had a good time, and Jessica and I had a good time at Gap, since they were having a 50% off sale in the entire woman's department.






I think our plans for the rest of the weekend will be spent relaxing and gearing up for next week.  Hope you all have a good weekend!
