Woke up to my alarm at 7:30, turned it off and promtly went back to sleep. Probably a bad idea as I was supposed to be at work at 8. Woke up again just before 8 to Kalli barking, which woke Emma up too. Got ready, had to have Brendan distract Ems so I could leave, she cried anyway. Still feels bad to leave her when she cries, hurts my new momma heart everytime.
Arrived at work, (late) at 8:45, did morning duties, chatted with Joanne and Kathie when they came in, had my appointment cancel so headed off to the bank at 9:30, drove to Timmies after for my usual French Vanilla and Cinnamon Raisin Bagel - enjoyed the bagel more than usual. Worked on the gift section most of the day, fairly uneventful but I enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing it all organized and neat when I was done. Had an appointment at 2pm, she ran late but eventually arrived to sit and rush through a furniture and frame order with John and I.
Ran out of work at 3:40, hoping to get home to pick up B and Emma and race out to Surrey to apply for Emma's passport. Got home to find B not ready, Emma dressed strangely, changed Emma, nagged B into being quicker and we all jumped in the Jeep at 4pm and got on our way. Decided to check the passport office hours on my iphone just to be sure and saw that they closed at 4:30, not 5. Aborted that plan and decided to go have an early dinner at Boston Pizza instead.
Arrived at BP to find it empty but one table and sat down and enjoyed yummy pasta dinners, Emma enjoys coloring at restaurants now, and it makes it much easier for us to eat out. She also occassionally eats the crayons :)
Arrived home after 5 and noticed that I had forgotten to water my plants in the front yard, tomatoes were badly wilted/dying which saddens me as it is my first foray into vegetable gardening in a long time and I am really hoping to see fruit this year. I watered the garden while B played with Emma inside, then admired all my little tomatoes and peppers and found a mini cucumber that has just come out. I then decided to weed the two front gardens and halfway through B brought Emma out to "help" momma. She likes to dig in the dirt just as much as I do and as much as her Bama did. I love this about her.
Emma went to play in the back while B started my leaf blower up for me, I blew all along the side of the house and walked into the backyard with the blower which scared Emma, made her cry and be all afraid, cute and sad at once. Paul arrived for a visit which cleared her tears right up. We hung out in the front yard feasting on some Okanogan cherries Paul brought back from his trip for us, then decided to head down to the beach for a walk and some Gelato.
At 7:30 we parked at the beach and walked over to the Gelato place where Emma shared my Bacio/Foresta Nera gelato while sitting on my lap. It was her first taste of the treat and I am pretty sure it wont be her last. Next we headed across to the pier where we met up with Christina and then enjoyed an hour and a half walk, with Emma being so happy and cheerful. She wanted to "swing" while holding her grandparents hands, sat on some benches with daddy on the pier, waved and smiled at all the seagulls that passed, and toddled/ran along the promenade with glee. She is such a sweet, joyous baby. I love that about her too.
Finally came home and read some books to Emma before putting her to bed at 9:30, then came here to write this, upload the few photos I remembered to take today and surf the net a little.
Now its 11:49 and time for bed. Goodnight!
