We're Back!

The Webbs have had a busy few months. Lots of change. Lots of good. Lots of stress. Did I mention lots of change?

The first and most exciting happening around the house is that Emmy will soon be a big sister! We're expecting Baby Girl #2 on May 17, 2010. Her name will be Vivian Elizabeth. Vivian because we love the name. Elizabeth after my grandmother. While we know that what has come to be a pretty familiar environment is about to be shaken up, we couldn't be more thrilled! We've started to try and teach Emmy that Mommy has a baby in her tummy, and while she will say "sissy" (Vivian is a little too tough) and point to my stomach then kiss it, or at least in the close vicinity, she has also started pointing to other people's stomachs to indicate they too, have a baby growing there. So, maybe she doesn't quite get it.

Onto the next big piece of news...with a new baby on the way, we needed to move quickly on making more room in the house. We put our house on the market in October not knowing what to expect. To our pleasant surprise, we received an offer and now contract just a few weeks ago. As long as it all pans out, we'll be closing on January 19! Although I will be very sad to leave our home we've come to know and LOVE, I'm also excited to start the next chapter in our life...where ever that may be!

We have some pretty big decisions on our plate -- where to move ('burbs, back to our old 'hood area, etc), where and if we babymoon this time around, how to decorate Emmy's "big girl room", and of course, what AM I going to do about the name of our family blog. When Emmy was on the way and I started this blog, she was all I was focused on, hence the blog name -- emmyjunebug.blogspot.com -- I wonder if Vivi would have any clue???

Emmy has continued to grow and amaze us with each new development. She's a quick little girl. She'll now make an attempt to repeat any word we throw her way, and imitation is her latest trick. Whether it be "no, no, no, Maddie" to the dogs complete with a pointed finger, or shaking her head up and down along with me to signal I'm listening (and I guess she is too) to the conversation I'm involved in, or "singing" along to music on the radio, it's all so amusing and adorable. I can't wait to see her interact with Vivian!
