This past week was back to work for me, which was a bit of a slap in the face. It's going fine, but I am looking forward to spring break next week. Yikes! Don't know how I'll do it after break : ) Emily began attending "school" as well!
Emily's first week in her new routine was successful as far as we can tell. The staff seems to like her a lot and she was one tired girl last week! I was kind of nice to get 2 or 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep. Friday night/Saturday morning brought a flu virus to the Harrison household, however. We're very lucky to have our families close by and were even luckier to have Grandma B spend the day with Emily so that we didn't pass along the sickness to her. Emily had a great time playing with toys and watching TV Land with Grandma B : ) Thankfully, it appeared to be a 24 hour bug because Patrick and I are feeling back to normal today. Unfortunately, we missed Grandma Val's birthday party but heard that she had lots of fun anyway!

Emily's second week of daycare was equally successful and the staff seems to really like her! She received her first birthday treat this week as well. It was one of the older babies birthdays and she brought in goldfish crackers for a treat to share with everyone. Emily's bag of crackers was enjoyed by myself and Patrick : )

Since I last wrote, Emily has turned 3 months old and is continuing to amaze us every day. Her 2 bottom teeth can be seen right below her gums so we're thinking that it's only a short matter of time until we see those pearly whites! Emily also got to open 2 gifts that we received a while ago but we thought she was too young until now to really appreciate. She is now very entertained and interested in both toys. Lastly, Emily joins us at the dinner table every night as part of our evening routine that we're establishing. She seems to enjoy being with mommy and daddy and sitting in her high chair like a big girl!

Patrick, Pat and I also got to go to a place called the
Wildlife Science Center (thanks for the recommendation Val!). It was a really cool place that's a sanctuary for wolves, foxes, mountain lions, lynxes, bears, falcons and more! It costs $6 for the hour and a half tour and worth it! I highly recommend it to anyone who's in the Ham Lake area! While we were there, Grandma B got to babysit Emily : )

That's it for now. I am on spring break this week so we're looking forward to lots of fun activities in the great weather that's forcasted!
More to come!
