Well, summer is over and school is back and will be taking all of Dan's time for the next four months! Dan is so excited for it to start, and I think he is ready to go back to school, even though he says he'll miss Emmy and I. I know he will have such a great semester.
Emmy is growing like a weed lately, and getting so much more talkative. She sleeps in a big girl bed now, thank you Alana and Kenny for the toddler bed! She started almost a week ago, and here is the play by play:
Night 1 - would not sleep in her bed, cried until we put her in her crib.
Night 2 - Only fell out of the bed three times and cried until Mommy picked her up and tucked her back in. She was so excited to sleep in her 'big girl bed' though, and told all her family about it.
Night 3 - Fell right asleep, and at eleven, found her sleeping in the middle of the floor of her room! Put her back in bed, and checked at 3 a.m., same story, middle of the floor. She fell out at 6:30 a.m. and cried, but went back to sleep until 7:30.
Night 4 - only fell out once during the night, found her on the floor. And once in the morning which she cried about.
Night 5 - Slept great! Only fell out early in the morning and cried about it.
It has been that way since. I know toddler beds are really close to the ground, but I am ready for her to just stay in her bed! By the third night, I started looking for bed rails to add to the bed to help her not roll out. Finally found one that will work, and will go to Ikea this week to get it!
Grandma Fae and Aunt Nanny are visiting for a week! We are so excited they are here. We went to Tucson to visit Roger and Kelly, it was great to see them. The drive back took four and a half hours! There was a huge accident, in which two people died, and a semi truck burst into flames! Needless to say, Celeste and I were dying in the car with both our kids for that long! They really both did great, just a few tears toward the end of the drive as they got so tired of being in the car!
Dan's parents are coming to visit later the week, and we are so excited to see them! It has been several months since we have seen them, and we are excited to spend time with them!
Me, I'm plugging along in normal everyday life. I am working on a quilt for the MASD Fundraiser (work), which always drains me, it is a lot of work, but always fun to do as well. The summer seems to be dragging for me, and I can't wait for cooler temperatures. I start to feel cooped up and depressed as the hot summer days drag on and on and on! I'm sure most Arizonans feel the way by the end of the summer. Okay, I've talked enough :) Till next post!

haha, your play by play or emmys big girl bed is funny. Im so glad you guys came down to visit us. It was fun. That is crazy to hear about that accident!
love you, see you tomorrow
The toddler bed gets much easier after a few nights. Brayden always crawled out of it and slept on the floor! Plus he moves around so much that half of his body would be hanging off the bed. It only took a few nights, and now he's a pro! Just give it time and Emmy will be having no problems :)
We just switched Claire to a "big girl" bed. Mark built a rail and she has yet to fall out or sleep on the floor. If the rail wasn't there though, that would be a different story! Good luck with the upcoming school year!
Yeah for school--Good luck Dan! Poor Emmy..LOL...Poor Mom! I want to see the quilt you are working on, I love quilting! Thanks for all your comments on my blog--I am so horrible about commenting. I really want to go out for lunch sometime. These last two weeks have just been crazy. Usually I have Wednesdays off, but I havent in a couple weeks and I wont this coming week. But the following week what are you doing??? LOL. We really need to hang out. Thank goodness for blogging!
love the beddie-bye story... We have pictures of Mary kneeling by her bed asleep, first we thought she was spiritual and was praying, but then we popped in a reality check and realized she had just fallen out -- half way... Then there is Ryan who did not stay in a bed after he was 9 months, and we would wake up have to go look for him like a puppy in the mornings to find out where he ended up in the night. Usually a floor somewhere. I guess we are lucky he didn't head outside.
Bekah,
The water park I went to is at Tempe Town Lake. It's so much fun, and it's free!!
okay the bed thing makes me feel so much bette. ben went stright form a crib to a regular twin bed, which is a lot higher than a toddler bed, he's fallen out a few times, and he's cried about it, but not that many, he had to learn fast. it was hard trying to find rails for a twin bed. i did find some at target online, but by the time i found them he wasn't falling out anymore, never bought them. maybe we will with brendon. we love you guys, and p.s. i'm feeling way better and i just got my stitches out about an hour ago, love ya, alisa
