Update on a Crazy Few Months

It’s been a while since David or I have posted, but in our defense the past couple of months have been a bit hectic. First of all, poor Emmy was hospitalized THREE times and had to undergo THREE separate operations to treat an abscess on her neck that turned out to be MRSA (a dangerous staph infection). It was a stubborn bug, and a misdiagnosis by a hospital intern did not help matters. But thankfully our little girl is now healthy and happy. During the ordeal (9 nights total in the hospital) the nurses all commented on what a sweet, good baby she was and that she didn’t even seem sick. As always, she was a trooper.

After we got the green light from Emmy’s surgeon, we took a much needed family vacation to Papa Sonny and Deb’s condo. We had a blast and spent tons of time on the beach and eating out. Highlights include hitting the theme park, going out on the fishing pier and seeing a baby hammer head shark up-close, and acquiring a new pet hermit crab that Abby named Julia. David will post some pictures from our trip soon.

School started last week, with Abby in the 4 day 4’s class and Emmy in the 2 day toddler class. So far, so good! I was pretty organized in terms of having them dressed and arriving on time, but I forgot one major thing—FIRST DAY PICTURES! Oops. Sorry girls.

We are just about into Fall and the weather has been incredible. Yesterday Abby was looking up at the sky and she said “It’s a beautiful day for catching clouds.” It was also a beautiful day to be hanging out with my two favorite girls.
