New Emmy Pics

Thursday morning Lamar and I rode the Sr. Citizen's van as planned to Jonesboro. We visited with Jessica and Emmy for a few hours and Jessica took some pictures of me and Lamar with Emmy, then a friend of Jessica's took a couple of pictures of me, Lamar, Jessica and Emmy.

Having his picture taken is not Lamar's favorite pastime and of the dozen or so pictures of us that Jessica took, these are the best of the lot.

In the first picture Lamar is looking past Jessica at the television behind her. In the rest of the pictures she took it's even more obvious that Lamar's attention is definitely not on having his picture made.

In the second picture I'm smiling and Emmy is facing the camera for once, and Lamar looked down at Emmy just as Jessica snapped the picture.

In the third picture that Jessica's friend took Lamar is blatantly watching TV instead of looking at the camera and smiling.

Did I mention already that Lamar isn't very fond of having his picture taken? I think it bears repeating, as evidenced by these pictures.

And these are the best pictures of the lot. The others are much worse. Sad, ain't it?

I do like the fourth one of me, Lamar and Emmy. I would have preferred a more enthusiastic expression and possibly a smile from Lamar, but after looking at the rest of the pictures from Thursday morning's session I'll take it and be glad Lamar was at least looking at the camera in this shot.

GreenEyes and all my friends who love that Emmy sugar and sweet baby cuddles, I snuggled and smooched ALL the sweetness out of Emmy! She won't be sweet again for a couple of days, LOL! ;-) I'm willing to share with y'all, though. :-)

Jessica, Jason and Emmy are doing great. Jason is working 12 hour days almost every weekday and almost that long on Saturdays. With the actual temperatures in the mid-to upper-90's and the heat index way over 100 degrees I think of Jason often, bless him. I pray he doesn't get sick or get heatstroke. He had to come home early one day last week because he got too hot at work. This extreme heat and humidity can be a serious health risk. It's not something to fool around with at all.

Jessica has lost 45 lbs. so far and is still losing weight. She can wear her wedding rings again and is wearing most of her pre-pregnancy clothes. She still has a few pounds to lose to get back to her pre-Emmy weight.

Emmy is growing like the proverbial bad weed. Sometimes a week passes between times that I get to see her and I can really tell a difference in how much weight she's gained and how alert she's gotten. I'm sure she weighs 9 lbs. now. By the time Jessica has to take her back to the doctor in a couple of weeks for her next checkup and shots she'll probably weigh 10 lbs!

I just praise the Lord that Jessica and Emmy are doing so well, and that Emmy has been healthy. So many things can go wrong when babies are so tiny and I'm thankful that Emmy is 6 weeks old now and hasn't had any health issues.

Here on the home front I haven't done any more cleaning and sorting in my computer room thus far. I plan to do more work here in my computer room on Friday if I don't change my mind or get sidetracked. I've got a few more projects that need doing and I've been working on them here and there. One thing about housework, it never ends. There's always something that needs doing. If nothing else dirty laundry and dirty dishes are a constant.

I'll be back on Saturday for my Sunday Dinner post if not before then. Here's wishing everyone a great Friday and a wonderful and blessed weekend.
