Release

Posted on July 22, 2015 by Abbie

We love to take advantage of Emmie appointments. After all the stresses of doctors and tests, we get to drive through Atlanta traffic and hit a home haven with our family. The kids gather around and have to tell us everything they have done with their aunt, cousins or one of the sets of their grandparents.

We really treasure this time and can feel the weight of all that Emmie is fighting just lift off of our shoulders.

And the kids get to be loved on and the grandparents get to laugh. Sometimes a lot!

That smile of complete and utter childhood joy…ah!

Our family’s homes serve as a sweet release to what could otherwise be a very stressful time. We definitely know what a blessing they all are to us.

Ahem…

In June, Sonic had one of their half priced shakes deals. Of course, it was too good of a deal to pass up.

Bryant had shake overload. Don’t worry, he recovered to live another day.

Of course, we can’t go anywhere without having to take a child to the restroom. I normally loathe Sonic bathrooms but this time, I got some good giggles at their sign.

Ya’ll, that’s just funny.

Curly Head CeiRai…She was so excited that Grandmere curled her hair.

This must have been the night we got home from the hospital.

Sometimes you just need to have a picnic.

The first time Emmie let go of me and walked away. I love that she is playing with CeiRai in thsi picture.

Splahs Pad Fun!

Everything is a phone nowadays. Even a comb.

Look Mom! Cheerios stacked together!

Look Mom! Emmie’s magnet toys hanging on for dear life.

Her first taste of oreos. She approved.

Our proof that she really did enjoy the cake!

Her broken brace…this was brace number four.

I know I’m cute…and???

Ceili Rain loves to hit the ivories. When she does, a part of the troublesome trio joins in. And then Emmie toddles over to play too. And sometimes Josiah takes Emmie over to pick out a tune.Then, this melts my heart. These kids just love their baby sister and will do everything they can to make her happy.
