Everything is better with ketchup

I can not believe that it has been 5 weeks since we have been home. Ememet is doing well. She has helped celebrate both of her brother's birthdays. She loves to sing happy birthday! She loves to color and draw pictures for us. She will sit and build with legos. It has been wonderful getting to know her. She is such a sweet girl. She loves playing with her brothers. They have been great. Bill has been gone now for 2 1/2 weeks only 3 more to go! Life as a "single" parent can be busy and exhausting! I do not know how single parents do it all the time. Emenet talks to her Daddy everyday and we skype at breakfast time. She loves to eat and show him what she is eating for breakfast. Her most favorite thing to eat is ketchup, let's just say she eats a little food with her ketchup! She loves to drink chia (tea). She wants tea at every meal, but the tea must have sugar. She has adjusted to the cats and dogs. The poor cats try to get away but Emenet is quick. The dog is another story....as long as the dog stays away from her it is good. If she gets close Emenet shrieks..the dog gets excited....the dog tries to get closer the more shrieks from Emenet...and the dance goes on. It will get better. We are blessed. Emenet was so happy when my mom and sister bought this huge jar of ketchup! She giggled and jumped up and down saying ketchup. She loves it.

Had a wonderful weekend with Bill's family. Emenet was totaly spoiled by her Aunt Nancy and Uncle John. Beautiful outfits and one sweet little ring. This girl loves the girlie things! Today was hard...Bill left for his job. He will be gone till Saturday night then leave Monday morning. He will be gone till the third week of March. Emenet does not understand where daddy went. We skyped at dinner time. She sat there and kept trying to touch him on the sreen. She is such a sweet child. We have had some bumps in the road but overall she is a sweetie. She loves building legos with her big brothers. She loves to eat Tibetan/Nepalese dumplings. This girl can eat! She is such a sweet blessing!

Snow snow,snow

I have not had much time to post on our blog. We have been home since the 23 of January. What a wonderful time of getting to know our newest addition to our family. Emenet has met both sets of grandparents. Went shoe shopping with her Aunt Kris. Boy, does this kid love socks and shoes!!!!!! On Friday we had tickets to go see Jungle Jack Hannah at theater about 45 minuets away from our home. Well, it began snowing in the afternoon and did not stop till Saturday afternoon. We had to once again cancel Christopher's birthday party. (we originally had it scheduled for Jan 31st, but could not have it because I was too sick to have it) After much shoveling (thanks Bill) we cleared our driveway. The party was on. Emenet managed to meet my two brothers and their Families. Aunt Lisa, Uncle Lou and Nicole brought Emenet beautiful clothes and her own Winnie the Pooh lap top. Keeps her very busy while we try to do school. Aunt Tammy and Erica brought a wonderful little bear that is so soft. She loves it. Aunt Lisa's sister sent an outfit with lots of bling! I can not wait to put her in the little denim jacket! Emenet was having such a wonderful time playing with her lap top she wore her self out an started falling asleep at the table. I truly enjoyed holding her as she slept her way through an awesome Mexican dinner. Thanks to all the family who braved the roads and came to the party. Emenet had a blast playing in the 24 inches of snow. It took us 10 minutes to dress her in winter clothing and three minutes and one face plant in the snow to bring the fun to an end! Well I have to go. Home schooling is calling... Will post more in a couple of days.
