Running Through Sprinklers

Now I did not create my blog to be a platform for my frustrations but today I must vent. While going on my morning run with Emma I noticed that tons of people were running their spinklers. I have nothing against spinkler systems, I mean we have one but people seem to be spraying their water onto my running path. Now I do not mind running through a sprinkler but I do mind my daughter getting wet and trying to navigate a big running stroller around it. People it is not easy. Oh well it will not keep me from running.
I did add a new song onto the blog b/c I think it is a great inspirational song. Melissa Etheridge wrote this song while she battled breast cancer. I do not believe it is just about cancer. I believe it is about anyone who has ever had to battle their way to stay alive. It reminds me of why I run. I run for my daughter, who was born with a failing heart and survived bypass heart surgery. I run for my grandmother who lost her life to cancer. I run for my other grandmother who is continuing to beat the odds against ovarian cancer. I run for my bestfriend's Mimi who is kicking breast cancer in the butt. So if you need motivation today then listen to this song.
Peace out everyone and enjoy this day and everyday =)

10 Months!

Emma is 10 months old today. It is hard to believe her first birthday is right around the corner. We love you Emma! What a joy and blessing it is to have you in our lives.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Today is one of Emma's favorite auntie's birthday. So in honor of auntie Elizabeth, Emma is sporting her Bon Jovi outfit that she received from Elizabeth. Elizabeth cannot wait until she can take Emma to a concert and they can rock out together. "Shot to the heart and your to blame. Baby you give love a bad name." That is the only lyric I know. Please don't hate my Liz.

Pumpkin Patch

Emma and her friend Kenzie had an impromptu photo shoot at a local pumpkin patch. It was hysterical watching the girls. We had a fabulous time or at least the moms did. Emma was very tired since she decided not to sleep that morning.

Oh lovely pumpkins!

Shh! I found my happy place.


Emma and Kenzie stuck in the land of pumpkins.

Mystery Solved!

The hair clip has been found! It some how broke into two parts during its journey through Emma's body but thank goodness it is out.

Tasty Hair Clips

Well we have had some excitement around the Solomon household. Yesterday during nap time I forgot to take out Emma's cute hair clip. When I went to get her up from her nap I noticed it missing. Andy and I tore apart her crib and room looking for it. I was determined that she swallowed it. We then called the doctor's office and since she was not showing any signs of discomfort they said we could wait and have an x-ray in the morning. So this morning we went for our x-ray and found the hair clip. It is moving nicely through her body and we just need to keep an eye out for it. Now I am sure you are wondering how Emma is doing and she is great. This is not bothering her one bit. I on the other hand went from being concerned to laughing since the x-ray tech said they have had 2 hair clips and 1 coin show up this week. I guess we are not alone.
