Baby Update

We are at Iowa City going through labor for our second child. Here is a current update...

10:20 water broke. 5cm
12:30 9cm
1:00 epidural given just in time

Kelley is resting well right now. So far, the process has been good. If anyone is thinking about seeing us in Iowa City, please do not. Due to the flu, only siblings and grandparents are allowed to visit.

Emma's First Dentist Appointment

Kelley just sent me a text with this imagine. Emma is having her first dentist appointment today. We've heard horror stories of scared kids once the tools enter their mouths. Emma is laying there happy as a clam. I'm really proud of her. She did the same thing with stitches. She is a tough cookie.

Superhero Butterfly

Emma decided to go as a superhero butterfly for Halloween. It was a cute outfit but several people couldn't figure it out. To Emma, it made perfect sense.

Kelley's Doctor Appointment

We took Emma with to the doctor appointment today. Emma got into anything she could.

Our Little Skeleton

Emma loves her new pajamas...and yes, they glow in the dark.

Open House

Hard to believe it, but last night we attended Emma's first open house to see her classroom and meet her teachers. Emma's preschool teachers said she was doing very well and playing with others (good thing for Emma or should would have been in some trouble). We got to see some of Emma's artwork and even got to meet one of Emma's best friends at school, London. Emma talks about London a lot and we were anxious to meet her. London was a very nice little girl and her parents seemed very nice as well. Turns out that London goes home and talks about Emma just as much.

Emma loves preschool and has no problem leaving us for school. We're proud of her and enjoy hearing what she learns.

Keith Van Horne

We got to meet former Bear Keith Van Horne before the game.

Bears!!!

We are tailgating for the Bears vs. Lions game. We found rooftop tailgating. Very cool.

Update...We're Stil Here

Sorry we have not been updating our blog in a while. It has been a very busy month. To begin with, I started back to work. The start of the school year has gone well and we are now back in full swing. It was nice to get to normal full days instead of the short, odd start of the school days during the first week.

Emma has started preschool and loves it. She has no problem leaving her mom to go to school. Emma has already found friends and talks about them when she gets home. Although she cannot remember the names of most of her friends, she can tell you what they are wearing. Emma has also just taken up her dance classes. They work on ballet and tap. Same as preschool, Emma loves it and runs to the instructor.

Kelley is doing well in her third trimester. We are getting ready for the new baby. Emma's new room is painted, her bedding is purchased, and carpets are cleaned. Now we are in the process of moving furniture around.

Hopefully things will slow down soon and I can send you more posts and photos. Take care.
