Welcome fellow "Em"bracers {get it, Em Emily, dork I know}
Honor once again to host Embrace the Camera.
My pictures this week remind me of why Emily started the Embrace the Camera moment.
GET YOURSELF IN PICTURES and create memories.
A few Embrace weeks ago, I talked about how important it is to have date nights with your significant others. Today I want to talk about how important it is to have dates with your kids.
Last week Hubs and I planned a secret. We called my MIL to come over to watch the Bean. And during pizza, we told her that we were taking her, no baby brother, to Disney for the evening.
This is her reaction...
After a quick potty break, grabbed some PJ's for the car ride home, and we were off!
No diaper bag {actually no bags at all!} and no stroller. Just the three of us.
When she was born she made my heart hurt from the love that filled it. And I still wonder how it holds it all.
We rode rides. Her favorite is the race cars.
It was a special time. A time she needed with just her Momma and Dadda.
We top our night off with ice cream and fireworks.
Perfect in so many ways.
Now are you ready to link up?!
Make sure to hop over and grab Em's button.
Remember these simple rules:
1. take a picture with you and your kids/spouse/family member/friend/whatever.
2. blog about that picture and include a link to our blog, or grab our button.
3. link your blog post up on mr. linky below.
4. visit the other embracers...give each other lots of compliments about how good we look with our greasy hair andsweatpants velour jogging suits on. cause yah, we need a little boost when it's been days since our last shower.
5. have fun!
don't forget to link your embrace the camera post, not just your blog.
this is really important---and really easy.

Hi Amy! To answer your question, what makes you think I do get anything done with my angel baby to play with?! :-) I love your pictures from Disney, such an amazing memory! (we call our baby Bug, too!) Thanks for hosting! I will be praying for Emily.
So fun! I'm so jealous you live close enough to take those kinds of trips!! ;)
How fun! Love the pure joy on her face when she found out :). Dates are so important...and you just reminded me that we are due for one for each child! Thanks for continuing Embrace for Emily. Praying she feels better real soon.
