Armadillidiidae (aka Roley Poley)

     Once again, my most wonderful man of a husband, Caleb, is transcribing my post.  How fun!  Please use your discernment in figuring out which parts of this post are truly Amber's words and which are Caleb's hilarious edits!  i.e. See 1st, 2nd and 3rd sentences. 

     While figuring out how to spell rolie polie, the source of all knowledge, Wikipedia, revealed to us the scientific name of this creature... armadillidiidae (arm-a-dilley-de-day!!!).  Why, you ask, are we naming our post after this glorious insect?  Well, not only have we found two in our living room this past week, but our son has transformed into one as well.  Yes, at four weeks old, Emerson has conquered the tummy-to-back roll.  And here's the proof...

     We're continuing to enjoy each day that we have with our little boy.  It's so fun to watch him grow and learn new things, becoming more alert and interactive each week.  He has also learned to make the "goo" sound, so we've enjoyed doing that back and forth with each other.  Amber and Emerson are especially good at it!  Caleb is still working on it, but should have it down by the week's end.  I mean, he is only 1292 weeks old...

     In other news, Caleb has finished writing his thesis and will defend it a week from today!  We're so excited for this to be off his plate.  He'll start his job at Garver on May 16th, which also happens to be our 2 year anniversary!  We're really eager to enter this new phase of our lives.  

     On that note, we bid you farewell.  Have a most joyous week until we post again!
