Fall Break!

Emily had her fall break this week and I took a few days off to spend some extra time with her. Rowena dropped her off to me Wednesday afternoon at work and had made some cinnamon rolls (sorry no pics, we ate them). You saw the bread and I know your mouths were all watering and the cinnamon rolls were just as fabulous. She and Emily even had a little one for Brylee, which of course I ate on the way to the house that afternoon. Tara was laughing because she called and I was trying to drive, talk on the phone, and eat my cinnamon roll. She asked if I couldn't have just waited til I got home, but Brylee wanted hers right away.

We had a very busy and very fun fall break. Thursday we got up and watched some tv, then went and visited Lindy's class. Emily attended music with them. Then we headed to get Brylee a large diaper bag and I swear I still don't think it is big enough for all the stuff I think I am going to need. We then headed to Dr. Kazmarska's office to talk with her about becoming Brylee's pediatrician. She is very nice and seems to care a lot about the kids. She knew Emily right off the bat. If you have used her or have an opinion I would appreciate it. Brian likes her and so does Emily. My only concern is that should she ever need to be hospitalized she would have to got the BCMC and then bee referred to Vanderbilt, due to Dr. Kazmarska's privileges there. I am a little eerie of that because as you all know I am no fan of BCMC. **Let me know your thoughts** We then met Amanda Crews and headed to the Boro for dinner and a tour of the hospital. I got a little light headed in the delivery room, but I am not a hospital person.

Friday we headed back to the Boro and met Aunt Jennifer and Molly Kate at Chuck E Cheese's. Emily had a ball and got 229 tickets. She was so sweet and shared tokens with all of us. Molly Kate seemed to like the pizza a lot. If Jennifer was to slow about handing her a piece she just reached out and grabbed for what she wanted. We had a ball. I cannot wait to do it again.

Saturday Brian and Emily met up with the rest of the family at Applebee's for a pancake breakfast benefiting St. Judes. Me, Mama, and Tara headed to the craft fair. I did GREAT this year, I bought some gourmet dog treats, Brian a peach fried pie, and two Elf stakes for the yard and had Emily and Brylee placed on their little hats. They are adorable. Tara bought a few things and needed to drop them at the car so I sat on a hay bale and ate some roasted corn and waited for them to return. Then we had some lunch, not as good as it normally is and I never found the peanut brittle for Brian. We left around 1:30, I was still hungry. Emily and I came home and talked Daddy into taking us to Mexican were we ran into Rochelle and Sondra. Rochelle kept tickling Emily on the neck and we had her thinking there was a bug in El Mexico getting her, until she caught Rochelle in the act. We decided that since we canceled the Halloween Party this year that we would roast hot dogs and marshmallows anyway. We got Chance and then built the fire and cooked our dinner.

Sunday we packed our bags for the hospital. I am sure that I have forgotten something so if you have any suggestions of can think of something I may have forgotten please tell me. I had a great helper Emily, checking things off the list and counting down 6 MORE WEEKS! Brian and Emily played horse shoes hung out at the house after that and I ran to T-town with Mama. Guess we will all have to suck it up and go to work tomorrow.

Love You All!
