3-22-08 Earrings---GONE

Emma hasn't been feeling well. She is taking meds and starting to feel better. But yesterday when I was holding her after she got up, I checked her ears and ONE earring was MISSING! We have searched everywhere and found the back but cannot find the piercing POST. We fear she swallowed it. We called our ped and he said that it shouldn't be a problem and we need to check her diapers---GROSS! We haven't found it yet....but are on the lookout.
I took her other earring out. I am not going to redo them right now. When she is older, she can get them done if she would like. I cannot keeep hairbows in her hair....not sure why I thought I could get her to leave her ears alone!
I am sad because she was not able to wear the ADORABLE earrings her first family gave her. It makes me so sad that their gift to her cannot be worn. We are talking to our friend who owns a jewelry store and are going to try to get them set in a necklace for her. I am so excited that we are going to be able to make something special out of Christian and Astrid's gift to Emma. We love them so much and want to always make sure they hold a very, very special place in Emma's heart.
Here are some pictures of Ms. Emma. Her ears are healing...and she is feeling better. Her hair is pulled back (not cut) because her little nose is running so much and her hair keeps getting STUCK to her face!




These pictures she was not happy with me because her brothers were playing in the floor and she wanted to be down there playing too.


Here is what Jay and Drew were doing this morning. Yesterday was so nice that they went outside with their Dad and explored. They found lots and lots of dinosaur teeth in our backyard. They had a shovel and paintbrush and were too cute. This morning they were getting their teeth in order from largest T-Rex tooth to smallest flyer tooth...("Flyer's don't need BIG teeth mom....they eat little things and don't kill anyone"- Drew) Can you tell I am going to have my hands full with these boys!




Two last Emma pictures...after a hard morning of playing!


It is so hard to be almost 1! We are getting ready for our Easter celebration! We cannot wait to take Emma to church. (It will be her first time to Church since she has been home.) I cannot wait to see what she thinks of all the people, music and celebration.
