Sorry its been a while since I last posted. I have been extraordinarily busy these past few weeks. I don't know how it all necessarily started, but it was crazy! Emmy was sick for a few days, running a high fever with no apparent cause and just not feeling well. She was tired and didn't want to eat, but there was no tell tale puking, nose running, cough, or anything else. At first I thought it was just teething, but a teething fever shouldn't be at 104 degrees for two whole days! Anyway, as soon as she got to feeling better, I was running a fever! I think the lack of sleep and worrying about her constantly made me more suceptible to whatever bug she had. I missed a night of interviewing at work, and just felt like crap for a few days. This has been a busy time for me at work as well, I've been at the office every day to sort through a neverending pile of paperwork for the summer camp I'm in charge of coordinating. Sometimes I really think an entire rainforest is chopped down just to get the kids registered for my summer camp!

Dan has also been busy with school -- finals are approaching, and he has to apply to his program at the end of the sememster. He is busy with tests and projects and keeping up with work and his calling at church. Life has been extra stressful lately as our busy times are overlapping. Sometimes I swear I only see him long enough to give him a high five and instructions on what Emmy needs for the evening as I walk out the door to work, and by the time I get home he is asleep, sometimes I get home at 1:00 a.m. from the office. (seriously, that much paperwork)

We are both excited for school to be over and to be able to go on a trip in May with Dan's family. We are headed to Disneyworld! Dan's family members are big fans of the d-world, and we are so excited to be going and taking Emmy. Dan insists that she must grow to love the place as much as he has!

Emmy has been growing by leaps and bounds! She is such a chatterbox some days! I swear - sometimes she never stops talking. She also loves her books, even books like a road map of the US and a book of Sudoku puzzles Dan has. She points and talks and blabs about each page. Our little one is so active too! She runs everywhere, and loves to try to climb anything. We go to the park at least once a week, and she loves to climb to the highest playground and run back and forth on the bridges.

I don't have any cute pictures of Emmy to post, I really need to get a new camera -- when are the economic stimulus check coming? Here is a shot of Dan and I on our last Disney World vacation - three years ago. Until next post!
