Joy and Grace: A Tale of Two Sisters

Emma Grace- Week 3:

Monday: We picked up Ava Joy from school and headed to my 2 week checkup. We went to Menchies for fro yo after (it was tradition after going to the Dr. during my pregnancy lol). After that Ava Joy had her first ballet class that day at the Y and was so excited. After dance class we met Team Henson at Gators for all you can eat wings. The girls all got Emma Grace snuggles.

Tuesday: Jordan and I took Emma Grace on another breakfast date while Ava Joy was at school. After we picked her up we went to the arcade in our neighborhood. Ava Joy and Daddy played while Emma Grace and I cuddled. Later in the afternoon we went on a family walk. Our friend Brittney brought us chick fil a for dinner.

Wednesday: Ava Joy had kindergarten roundup so Jordan and I both went and I wore Emma Grace. I can't believe my baby will be starting kindergarten in the fall. After we came home Jordan had to head in to work. We were all sad that his time off had come to an end. After he left my girls and I snuggled for a while. Ava Joy was so sweet. Then we went on a short walk. Later in the afternoon Olivia and her girls came over to lift our spirits. My sweet friend Liz brought a delicious dinner over. That evening Auntie Andrea came over to sit with Ava Joy and Emma Grace and I headed to small group.

Thursday: Auntie Andrea picked Ava Joy up for school. After Daddy left for work I had every intention on going for a walk with Emma Grace but she was so snugly I just couldn't stop cuddling her. I figure I have the rest of my life to walk. We picked up big sissy from school and headed to the splash pad. I wore Emma Grace while sissy played. We headed home and rested. I took the girls on a short walk later that evening. My sweet friend Katelyn brought us Chipotle for dinner and got some Emma Grace snuggles.

Friday: Once again Emma Grace and I stayed snuggled up for most of the morning. Then we went to pick up sissy from school. We went by Chick fil a to get lunch and headed to the park. We ate and Ava Joy played. After that we headed to WalMart to pick up our grocery order. That afternoon I managed to sweep, clean the kitchen and bathrooms, change the cat litter, and do laundry. I felt like a mama rockstar. After Daddy got home we ended the evening with a family walk.

Saturday: Ava Joy, Emma Grace, and I had a nice relaxing morning at home. Then my friend Summer and her girls came over to visit. Later in the evening we went to a food truck event with Auntie Kym.

Sunday: I managed to get both girls ready and make it to church by myself. After we got home Memaw and Papa came with Great Grammie. It was her first time meeting Emma Grace. Papa and Ava Joy had some good play time also with chalk paint- her new favorite thing. We went on a short walk with Papa. Ava Joy has been adjusting so well to being a big sister- especially with Daddy being back at work. A lot of evenings she is being quite independent getting herself ready for bed. She will bring a book out to the living room where I am rocking Emma Grace and I will read to her. She has had to put herself to bed after that a few times and I promise to kiss and snuggle her once I can. She also is so helpful throughout the day- helping bring me things I need or Emma Grace needs. I just am overwhelmed with love for both of my girls.
