Here are two short videos of Little E.
I wish everyone could see just how smiley she is. When we're home and she's comfortable, she just laughs and smiles all the time. As usual, I was trying to get it on video and she decided not to cooperate. These two videos are just two examples of how Mommy and Daddy will act like silly fools to get their girl to giggle.
And Daddy's turn...
Notice she still didn't giggle. The girl has all the power here...

Happy Birthday Granny!
Today is Granny Mize's birthday. She got a video from Jake and Luke this morning so Erin said she wanted to do her own video. We also took a birthday card picture and sent it to Granny on Facebook. Roxie was in the original picture, but Erin wouldn't smile. We got Erin to smile and Roxie took off. Dogs and babies are not the most cooperative subjects.
Happy Birthday Granny
An interesting fact about the Wistner/Mize birthdays... Erin kicks off the "birthday season" with her birthday in July. From then on we have one or two birthdays a month until March. We don't skip any months in between and all the birthdays are consecutive with no one left out of sequence. (This list includes Erin, both parents, all 4 grandparents, both aunts, both uncles and both cousins!!) I just think it's kind of cool. From July to March we have at least one family birthday to celebrate.
Party on!!

Chaos I Tell You
This week has been very hectic. I started back to work on Monday and Gram and Pawpaw started their new full time job -Daycare Workers.
What can I say? It's going to take a little time to get back in the swing of things. It took forever to get logged back on the State Farm system on Monday. Since I was out for so long they moved me to an inactive status. Three long phone calls and an overnight processing later, I'm up and running. I have over 1,100 emails. I think the end total was close to 1,200. Talk about info overload!!! I'm taking this week to go thru them all and to figure out what has changed since I was gone. I'll go back on rotation on Monday. Here's to hoping handling claims is like riding a bike...
The great thing about SF is that they're letting me work from home right now. Eventually, I'll have to go into the office 1 day a week. I'm going to start 4/10s, so I'll have one day off during the week to give our Daycare Couple a break. Not sure what day it will be, but I'm hoping for Fridays or Wednesdays. More to come on that later.
Gram and Pawpaw are easing into their new duties as well. They got here super early on Monday and have since tried to get the arrival timing down. They come to our house everyday to keep Erin. This week is our trail run. Next week, we're going to start on a regimented routine. I've been trying to juggle getting ready, working, and feeding her and I think it's time to have a concrete plan instead of the ad hoc approach we've had. Momma needs her structure!! I know I'm too "Type A". I just feel better going to bed at night knowing that there is a plan in place. Crazy!
Erin is being a toot and not rolling over when we want her to!! She does it when we least expect it and never when the camera/video is out. Tommy still hasn't gotten to see her do it. I've seen it once, and she has done it a couple times for Gram and Pawpaw.
Roxie has enjoyed having Gram and Pawpaw here. They bring Max so she has company during the day. (When she's not sitting in Gram's lap!) Monday she was very out of sorts and stayed upstairs with me all day. I would come downstairs to check on things and she would be on my heels. The minute I went back upstairs she was with me until she heard food wrappers downstairs. Then she was out of there so she could beg along side Max. (And FYI - the begging pays off. The old people are suckers!)
