Tomorrow's the big day!

Tomorrow is Emma's first surgery.

Today will be a day full of preparations. I still need to pack for everyone. I have to pack 3 separate times. :) Josh and Callie will be going to Mom and Dad's, so they will need their own suitcase. We will need to pack a day bag for the hospital tomorrow AND a night bag. We don't want to have to carry around everything all day. :) I'm feeling a little unorganized right now.

Our A/C went out yesterday. We are fortunate enough to have a friend in the A/C business. He came and refilled our freon (we have a slow leak) and didn't charge us anything! We sure didn't call him expecting a freebie! He's far too busy for that. We will do something special for them, though.

Unfortunately, he didn't get there until 4:00 yesterday, so Mom and the girls were a little hot by the time we got home. :( If we had known the timing was going to be so off, Phil would have given them the van so mom could take them home with her. Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it?

After we got the girls cooled off, they were happy. Emma just giggled and giggled. I love to hear them both laugh!

Emma's rolling both ways now - from tummy to back and back to tummy. Callie can roll both ways, too...she just chooses not to very often. :)

The girls are starting to notice when we're not there. I had them in their seats last night and I had to leave the room for a minute. When I left, they were both happy. After about 15 seconds, they were both crying. As soon as I walked back into the room, they were both happy again!

Callie is starting to show signs of stranger anxiety. She has started crying twice when she was around someone she wasn't familiar with. Callie NEVER cries (well, rarely).

My girls are growing up!!

Josh does love his sisters! I love to watch him talk to them. He talks to them like they understand every single word he says. :) Including the times he "fusses" at them. If they accidentally scratch him, he gets on to them...he told Emma the other night that she made a BAD choice by scratching him and she needed to be in time out! HA!! We haven't quite convinced Josh the girls don't know any better yet. :)
