Easter Weekend

Sunday not only marks as Easter, it also represents 6 weeks since I last held my precious babygirl. It seems like so long ago that I craddled her in my arms and rocked her night night. Then again, it seems like yesterday. My heart longs to be with her now more than ever.

Today my mom came over to go through Emalee's totes of clothes in her bedroom. I have like 10 totes full of babygirl clothes and 90% of the clothes she never got to wear. My tiny princess was still in Newborn sized clothing. With the ridiculous amount of clothing she had we went through it to give some to a lady my mom knows that had a babygirl a few months ago. Out of all that clothing I only ended up getting rid of 2 bags full. LOL. I cant help it, the things Emalee once wore I could NEVER part with. We kind of organized her bedroom to make it look a bit neater. She never slept in her room she either slept with mama or in her pack n play/ bassinet thats in my room right beside my bed. Her bassinet and everything in/on it remains the same as the day she last used it. (Which was pre-hospitalization. She slept with me when she came home from the hospital. She wanted to be close to mama, and I loved it!) I want to keep her memories so close to and this really does help me to have her bed set up next to mine, the way its supposed to be.

Evan had his first soccer practice this evening and he had a blast! The class was from 5:30p to 6p, so not too long but just enough to have fun. He had a bit of trouble listening at first because he was overly excited about being there and being with other kids. (Being sucluded in the house for 8.5 months, he didnt know what to do with himself) But after a little talking to by the coach, he was much better. The coach seems really nice and understanding and like he likes being around kids. I was so proud of Evan because he can kick that ball good! I dont know much about soccer or the lingo for it, but he was running and kicking the ball and was making it in the goal. LOL. I was laughing so hard and started to cry because boy has our life changed in almost 6 weeks, for the worse, but my boy was out there having fun and being a kid and he makes me so happy. Hopefully next week its not raining so they can be outside to play soccer. Its just not the same as being outside in grass :-)

Afterwards we went to look at a jogging stroller I found on craigslist for $25. It was nice so we took it. I will be using that for our March of Dimes Walk, its 5k. Evan says its for babies but little does he know how looong of a walk it is and his legs will be tired. I will surely not be carrying him. He will be thankful for it in the long run. LOL

Here are a few pictures of him from Soccer today!
