Interview with Em - Take Two

Remember a few posts back, where I tried asking Emmalyn the same questions I asked Colton, only, she answered basically with the word "apples" for every question? If you keep up with us on Facebook, you also saw this post, referring to Em's current state of "diva-ness".
Case in point.
 Well, enjoy this video, where we get to hear Em's sweet voice, see her working her "diva-ness" in full force and hear her incredibly sweet answers (even though Big Brother tries to interrupt a time or two).

 As well, Diva herself has been chatting up a storm. Here's a few things we've heard her say lately...

 -- Me. Monkey. Mommy. Pig. (Followed by a fit of giggles, because she knows she's being ornery!)

-- Dat boy. Daddy's Deer. (She found Kid the Elf perched on Dad's buck mount the other morning and was awfully concerned about why that boy was on Daddy's deer!)

-- Be NICE Col-tawn - we hear this alot, when she's not getting her way!

-- We still have to wait until the end of the sentence to know if she's wanting something or not wanting something. We ate Broccoli and Cheese soup the other night and Em said, "Me like ham. Me like bawcoli, NO!"

-- Me no get in tub-le. Bubby tub-le. -- every day. Without fail. As I load the kids into the van and ask how their day was at Pam's.

-- Gindma Dacki. Papaw Bad. Papaw Keeent. Memaw Haw. (Took my mom by complete surprise that she was dubbed Grandma Hall! :)

Sweet Em -- you're growing up much too fast! Seems like just yesterday we were piddling around on Memorial Day weekend, waiting for you to make your grand entrance into this world. Love you!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
