No pix again . . .

It's been a busy week at our house. We had Grandpa Don over for dinner on Sunday to celebrate his birthday. It was so good! Beer can chicken and delicious potatoes (with tons of garlic) that we saw on the Food Network. Louie likes to eat the potatoes like an apple, he just digs into the whole thing.
Lately, both kids have been going through a growth spurt and putting away the food like you wouldn't believe. Emily had an appointment last week for her neurological evaluation at Gillette Children's Hospital, she finally tipped the scale at 30 pounds and she's 35 inches tall. Louie is still a skinny little thing, he's only 25 pounds. It seems like he's grown taller though. All his pants fit him in the waist (they're 12-18 month size!), but they're too short. We had to go to the store and get some 18-24 month with an adjustable waste so he wouldn't have floods. Not sure how tall Lou is though. We'll have to measure him one of these days.
Today was the day that I dreaded. Emily got on the bus to go to school and she started sobbing and got herself so worked up. She was just screaming! I felt so bad for her. Hopefully, she'll be ok this morning and they won't call to have her be picked up. She got to sit by her best friend, Emmett. She pretends to call him on the phone at night and says "Hi Emmett, see you on the bus tomorrow for school. Good night, bye." Hopefully, Emmett's parents will be at the ECSE picnic at the end of the month so we can get together with him over the summer. The aides on the bus and the bus driver both said that they are best friends, he asks about Emily everyday.
We've got a busy weekend ahead. Dinner at the Lynch's tomorrow night and then Mother's Day at Grandma and Papa Jansen's house on Sunday. The husbands are taking care of all the food (at least at our house he is. . . )
