A valuable lesson learned

We learned a valuable lesson yesterday:

A baby that sleeps all day, is up all night.

We had a glorious snow day. Another 6 inches fell and Brian and I proceeded to do absolutely nothing. Emma decided to join us in our laziness and slept most of the day. We enjoyed the down time by laying around watching movies, but we paid for it dearly!

Last night was probably the hardest night we've had yet . .. She screamed, cried, and wanted to hang out . . .when all we wanted to do is sleep. Brian and I took turns trying to soothe her, but the wild beast was inconsolable. She finally slept for about 2 hours this morning around 3:00 a.m., but was up again at 5. Needless to say we are tired today!


Mom hopped a plane back to CT yesterday morning, and it seems that her plane was one of very few that made it out. We had a good visit and it was sad to see her go. Its hard to have family so far away.


Saturday we had a failed attempt at getting Emma's picture taken with Santa. We dressed her up in the outfit her grandparents sent, packed her up, drove to South Center Mall in the snow, got in line, only to find out that Santa was on his way to lunch. Great! So we went to lunch, and by the time we got out the line was wrapped all the way around Santa's photo station. . . and it wasn't moving. I didn't want to stand around for hours, so we left. I think I'm going to try again tomorrow. We'll see!
