For family fun night we took Emma to her first movie theater and we saw Kung Fu Panda. It was so fun to sit there with her and watch her eat some popcorn and laugh at the appropriate times. There is nothing I love more then spending time alone with the three of us. It just warms my heart to know that Emma is entering the world of becoming my best friend. It won't be long before we're off to lunch and to get pedicures. Although I still feel like something or better yet someone is missing from our family, I must say that at this time in my life I feel truly blessed.

Fun! Yes, I agree that spending time alone with just your little family can't be beat. Did she sit still through the whole movie? That's pretty good. Did you and Bundy like it? We all enjoyed it when it first came out.
K this is a much better post than your last! I mean really linz was that necessary!:) j/k You guys are always havin way to much fun! I need to come and be in your family!:) Emma is so cute!
What if she really is the only little child in your home? You'll never regret the memories/bonds you are creating now. At the end of the day I'm too exhausted to give any more of myself than I already have. I feel overwhelmed, suffocated and spent spreading myself amongst 4 kiddies, yet when the girls plead with me to snuggle with them, no matter how late it is, or how much I have to clean up downstairs, I never want to let those moments pass by and have regrets. I am completely blessed, but at the same time it's so nice Emma gets your one on one devotion. Griffin got that long ago and look how he turned out.
How fun! I still really want to see that movie, I've heard it's so funny. I love little Emma1
To Stacey's comment about Griffin and one on one...Josh got that too. But only for 13 months. Is that the difference? I loved Kung Fu Panda! Spencer laughed so hard at the line "I'm not A fat panda. I'm THE fat panda." He used to say that all the time. We've taken him to a few movies, but he gets bored before they are finished. I really think he has ADD. I can see some things in him where I think, Great! Here we go again! Did you guys see Horton Hears A Who? That one was great! I can't wait for it to come out. I've got it on reserve with Netflix. One word of caution... from the sister who has been the mother the longest, and the sister who is in therapy. You've mentioned a lot lately about being Emma's best friend. Be careful. In trying to be my kids best friend, or be popular with them I have not always been as firm and strict as I need to as a parent. Most parenting books and therapists will tell you that you are not supposed to be their best friend. I know at the HV I was friends with my employees and we hung out, which was usually nice. But when it came time for me to lay down the law or hold them accountable for something, there wasn't always the proper respect owed a manager there. Feelings got involved and they would take things personally because we were "friends." Ryan deals with this at his job as well. It can happen in parenting too. If you are focus too much on being the friend, it might be hard to sometimes have to be the parent. I'm just saying. I'm just saying because last nights therapy session was all about parenting and how I'm doing lots wrong. Gotta love it!
Lindsy, you sound like a wonderful mom. I love the attention that you put into your daughter, and that you love being with her.
