Why? Why did I get up at 5:30am today? It’s insanity I tell you! I suppose it’s because I woke up at 5:40 yesterday, and my body thought it was the new thing to do. What kicked off my early morning wakefest yesterday?
Well, my little Emma Rose made her television debut! Okay, no she’s not the next Dakota Fanning. She just got a picture of her in her Halloween costume on the local news station in the morning. It was pretty exciting. The entire state of Washington–okay, or anyone watching channel 13 news at 7:50 in the morning, saw this picture to the left. :) The dread pirate Emma Rose!
So we had a post ECWC conference pizza party last night. Good for the conference, bad for my eating. But ah well. It was one day. We talked about what went right and what went wrong with the conference. In reality, this was one of the best conferences to date we’ve had. And we had to decide whether to scale back and make it a smaller conference again (around 120), or expand (275) and move to a new hotel. Because this year we filled up so fast we had to turn people away. And it looks like we may expand. Which sounds fantabulous because we may use a way better hotel. So I’ll keep you posted, because you should all come next year!
All right, I’ve taken up a lot of room rambling. And I need to go blow my nose again (yet, another cold.) Here’s the incredibly screwed up Halloween picture of the day.









OH. MY. GOD.
Here comes the baby.. there goes my lunch…!!!
;)
That halloween pic freaks me out. The one of Emma is just too cute for words.
Yup, the dread pirate Emma Rose is perfectly adorable. The other, however, is just sick. Thanks for making my day again, Shelli! (G)
That picture is just wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
