eating all week and Emily's visit

Well, it has been a week since we started "eating". First we were cautious, eating only good fresh food, taking small portions and small bites and savoring everything. Now I have had potato chips again and William is drinking one cup of coffee a day. Oh how fast we fall.

Miss Em was with us for the week-end - what a joy she is! Beth dropped her off on her way to California to get the rest of her things in storage. So for 3 whole days we rode bikes, went to the playground, made blueberry pancakes, played "Go Fish" and "Concentration". We read books, watched videos, dug in the dirt, and dressed up like princesses. We moved the table in the living room, turned up the music and danced. We dressed our dolls, made forts and swam in the hot tub. We put together puzzles, sang songs, rode our bikes some more and never went to bed early.

Grandma is very tired today and going to do the one thing we did not do while Em was here - take a nap.
