Twas the Week Before Christmas

We spent the week before Christmas getting some things done around the house. I went to the doctor and was cleared to workout again...thank goodness! It feels great to be back in the gym, although I am VERY out of shape. Emory is now taking a bottle, so I am able to get out and about a little more. However, when I actually do leave the house that means Martin is in charge. Don't get me wrong, Martin is a great dad for the most part. Why do I say for the most part? Well I came home from the gym and found Emory dressed in Tennessee clothes....we all know she isn't going to be a Tennessee fan! She has better taste than that :)





 
 


 
 The Friday before Christmas we went over to Dustin's house for some of his famous deer chili. This was Emory's first real outing besides her two doctors visits.
 

When we got home from Dustin's Emory would not stop crying...actually screaming. She has never been this loud EVER! We were trying to pack because we were heading to Atlanta on Saturday for Christmas. Martin packed while I tried to calm her down, but I had no such luck. When Martin was finished packing he came to hold her while I started packing. Martin came downstairs and said, "hang on, let me get something and then I'll take her." He went out into the garage and come back in with the ear muffs that he wears to the shooting range...I almost died laughing!!! He said it really helped quiet her screaming and I should try it next time. After about two hours she finally stopped crying. All it took was one HUGE spit up that covered both her and Martin...poor Emory. After that she slept 6 hours that night...I guess screaming at the top of your lungs for 2 hours can drain you :)
 

We finally got packed and we were ready to head to Atlanta for Christmas! Below are some pictures from the week.
