Hanauer’s come to Milan

Well we weren’t sure it was going to get to happen but the Hanauers’s got to come to Milan! (It only took a year..haha!-better late than NEVER!) We had so much fun despite three of the six of them getting sick! Thanks Murray for getting Emily meds quickly so she could get better! They arrived before bedtime on Friday evening with loads of energy from being in the car for 5 plus hours! We gave them the tour of our home ate a snack and settled down for bedtime! We were so excited they made it and had a relatively un eventful drive to TN!

feb 001watching a show and eating snacks before bedtime!

We woke up Saturday morning ready to go..on a wagon ride that is!

feb 002

The kids all loved the neighbors trampoline, ok so did Mr. Adam!

feb 019feb 020Davis decided to pull everyone back home! My strong boy!!!

We never had a dull moment with 5 kiddos running a round. They were all so well behaved and really played well together! Davis sure does miss his sweet buddies! He refers to them as “the kids!”

feb 021feb 022feb 023feb 024feb 026

The weather was a little chilly but that did not stop the kids and dads from exploring the TN home land! HA! They were adorable on their “adventure” and took some pretty sweet pictures!

\feb 029feb 030feb 032feb 033feb 034feb 036feb 037feb 039Emily and Andi even made it out for a couple of minutes..both of them weren’t feeling too well! Aren’t they both too cute! Emily is one amazing mother of four!

feb 040feb 041feb 042 Coming home from their adventure…Kylie and Jackson came in in style, of course!

More jumping…the kids sure did love jumping and the adults loved all the laughs and crashes!

feb 044feb 045feb 046feb 047feb 048feb 049feb 050feb 051feb 052

Kylie was quite the singer and musician this weekend…she is so grown up!

feb 057

WE took them around Milan and to eat at one of our finest..the chow wagon. When we pulled up to the dive, Kylie said “Wow this is really nice!” Ha!

feb 059

Waiting on our yummy deep fried food and ice cream!

feb 060feb 061

They had to leave pretty early Sunday morning, but not before we could sneak some shots…minus Andi (she was warm in the van!)

feb 064feb 065

Oh I miss my girls so much! Emily has been a part of my life for six years now and leaving her in Louisville was one of the hardest things I have done. I miss her greatly and thoroughly enjoyed this weekend with her! I’ve watched Kylie grow from a toddler to a beautiful young lady and she remains one of my most favorite little ladies! I miss you girls!

Whatcha bloggin about?

We are on our way to Jackson to go tot the hospital…”not to get Emmy out”despite what Davis thinks but yet on our way to Big Brother class! He is a little excited, can you tell? He held on to the note they sent them in the mail and insisted he bring it with him since it had his name on it in two places!! (“since he’s two”…D’s theology!)

 feb 002feb 003

We arrived and immediately went on a tour of the hospital..D was so excited to see where he would get to see Emmy for the first time and he was pumped there was trucks in the waiting room! Pretty sure he fell in love with the hospital at this point!

feb 004feb 006feb 018feb 008feb 009feb 010feb 011

We went to a room where they would be prepping me for surgery and they gave D his very own Doctors mask and hat…what a cool dude!

feb 012feb 013feb 014feb 015feb 016feb 017

He even got to see real live babies…he was very into finding which one was his favorite!

feb 020feb 021

Sporting his big brother sticker and checking out more of the hospital room!

feb 022feb 023

Snack time…pretty exciting for a two year old!

feb 024

Next came the baby! Fun story…the girl in front of us was seven and was given the African American baby. She did not appreciate this so I told her to switch with D, he didn’t mind what color his baby was. Her mother was quick to inform me she was not prejudice she just had the white baby in the car…yeah uh huh. sure! Anyway glad my little guy is not picky and loves all colors (although he now says our emmy will be dark and not light! HAHA!) .  We spent the next few minutes changing the diaper….what a hoot!

feb 025feb 026feb 027

feb 028(I love this face, like can you believe I’m doing this mom!)

feb 029feb 030feb 031feb 032High fives from Daddy for changing the baby’s diaper!

Next, D was asked to put her hat opn..check out how he did it….what a mess!

feb 033feb 034feb 035feb 036feb 037Yay! We did it, after being silly of course!

Next to learn how to swaddle Emmy…

feb 038feb 039feb 040

feb 041Once again with a little help from Daddy Davis swaddled his sweet baby!

feb 042feb 043feb 044Some sweet Davis and baby pictures!

Time to eat…Davis fed his baby a bottle! Done like a true parent with the mouth open and everything!

feb 045feb 046feb 047

time to burp…

feb 048

I must say he was pretty impressed with himself and his big brother skills, so were mommy and daddy!

feb 049feb 050feb 051

Next, Davis got to make Emmy a present while at the class. He chose a pink bib and he loved decorating it for his little sister!

feb 053feb 054

He LOVED his newest big brother shirt..we are up to 6 shirts now! HAHA!

feb 055feb 056

Davis going to get his certificate and prizes! HE was so proud he ran all the way up to the teacher and back to us..hence the blurry photos!

feb 057feb 058feb 059

Davis is a certified sibling…he is officially ready for baby Emerson to arrive!

feb 060feb 061

Family photos at the Sibling class!

feb 062feb 063feb 066

The class was superb and D learned so much about being a big brother! I would totally recommend doing it before having other siblings. Something we will definitely do again if number three enters our minds! HA! Davis was the youngest one there but had no problems answering the teachers questions and telling everyone all about his baby sister! He made sure they knew she was a girl, her name was Emerson but he would call her Emmy and that she would have blue hair…ahhh! He loved sharing he had painted canvases for her room and and even got out some of his old toys/clothes for her to wear! We have such a great big brother on our hands and pray he continues to adore his sister the way he does now!

 

Saturday we headed to Dyersburg to see some friends we hadn’t seen in a while and meet their little Asher! He was adorable and it was so nice catching up. We told Davis he used to play with Asher’s daddy and he thought that was pretty neat!

feb 067feb 068feb 069feb 070

Sunday night before children’s ministry Davis and his buddy Eli decided to tackle Parker…thanks Parker for taking the tackle like a champ! HA!

 feb 074feb 075

the letter C..we had a really busy week, but still had time to squeeze in the letter C. He is now adding that letter to his repertoire, I think we are up to like 17 letters he knows now! WOW! He points them out on everything, and everywhere. My little letter man!

feb 076feb 077

Davis learned Jesus loves people everywhere in class on Sunday and he was so proud he could hold all of his people up..he wanted these pics real bad!
