Well, it has been a crazy, sad, exhausting few weeks here. I posted a few blogs about Eric's dad, as you all know. I think I just needed to get everything out at the moment. Anyways, we are all holding up pretty good. We got his ashes yesterday so now we have a little bit of him with us at the house. Rosie has the bulk of him. Not that he was a big man by any means but he weighs a lot in ashes! Rosie said here box is really heavy. I guess we are trying to make light of the situation. We just keep reminiscing about him and how much he was in love with Emma. I know if he has any say in it our next baby will be a boy. And Eric has a name picked out already if it is....by the way we are NOT pregnant! We are just hoping for a boy when the time comes, when Emma is 1 1/2 years old or so.

So we were trying to find a place for Rosie because she wasn't very fond of staying in her and Ron's apartment. She wanted us to add on to our house, which would be fine if we had the room, but there really isn't any room to add on. Rosie had mentioned when all of this happened that she would like to find a nice trailer and buy that. So yesterday we got the penny saver in the mail and Eric found two for sale in the little trailer park in Brunswick. So we called on them and the same guy owns both. We went and looked at one of them last night and it would be perfect for Rosie. She currently lives in Rensselaer so moving to Brunswick would make her closer to us in Lansingburgh and closer to my parents. Eric and I are hoping she decides to buy it. It needs some TLC inside like painting and things like that but what doesn't these days. It's a 1970 trailer. It has brand new windows and doors and a brand new roof. It has a huge deck and a shed in the back. It's just perfect for her. We would have to show her how to get around because she doesn't know the area but that would be easy! So, keep your fingers crossed and I will keep you posted.

Emma is doing some new and improved things lately. She almost rolls over from back to belly. She tries sooo hard she gets mad. It's so funny. Her newest thing is to try and blow raspberries. It's the cutest thing ever. We got her picture taken with the Easter bunny on Friday. She didn't cry or anything but she wasn't in the smiling mood either. I think it's because she had just woken up. Either way, they turned out really cute. Emma is still sleeping through the night. Last night we were at mom and dad's so her schedule was a little off. she ate at 8:30 at their house and we left there are 9pm and she was already sleeping. she stayed asleep in the car and I just put her to bed as soon as we got home and she got up at 7:30 this morning. We had one night last week where she got up at 1am to eat but went right back to bed afterwords. She really is a wonderful baby. Eric and I are afraid the next on will be a terror. Which it probably will but we will love it just the same!

I can't believe Easter is next weekend! We are very excited to be going to my cousin Kari's. We had such a great time last year!

I guess that's all for now. I am at work and had some down time so I can't post any pics here. I will though, I promise!
