This came from Renee's blog: http://www.myspecialks.com/ but I just had to post it. For many of you that know Matt and I well, we just love Jay Leno's "Headlines" or anything to do with a funny "play on words". Enjoy these "headlines" that came out of actual church bulletins (I hope you almost pee your pants too):
The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.
The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on Water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.'
Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 PM in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King.
Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict.
Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much about you.
Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.
Miss Charlene Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again,' giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing: 'Break Forth Into Joy.'
Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.
A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.
At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What Is Hell?' Come early and listen to our choir practice.
Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.
Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.
The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility. Potluck supper Sunday at 5:00 PM - prayer and medication to follow.
The ladies of the Church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.
This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn singing in the park across from the Church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.
Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10 AM. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B. S. Is done.
- The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday.
Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM. Please use the back door.
The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet in the Church basement Friday at 7 PM. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
Weight Watchers will meet at 7 PM at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.
The Associate Minister unveiled the church's new tithing campaign slogan Last Sunday: ''I Upped My Pledge - Up Yours”
Hope you got in your laugh for Thursday :)

And then there was the diaper incident.....
Just a funny story to share (and I am sure many of you couldn't have possibly also experienced this, ever)....
I laid Emmy down for a nap late yesterday afternoon. We had been at the mall hanging out with friends on a gloomy, rainy day earlier in the afternoon. Emmy fell asleep on the way home (as usual) and so I laid her back down because I knew she was still tired. She seemed like she was ready to fall asleep and was fairly quiet while she was listening to her usual nap time music (Rock-a-bye baby Led Zeppelin, God help us if something were to happen to that cd).
Anyway, I just let her hang out and have her quiet time in her bed even if she wasn't going to truly nap. Matt got home from work and went up to go get her so we could eat dinner and play. I could hear him via the monitor but his exclamation came through the whole house this time...., "Oh God," (and I could tell by the inflection in his voice that nothing was seriously wrong, maybe just a really stinky or overfull diaper or something). Then he said, "You have to come up here". So, I popped dinner in the oven and ran on up to Emmy's room.
I should have taken a picture but I don't know that we ever need to re-create what I walked into. Emmy had thrown off her diaper and had smeared poopie all over her crib and thrown some on the floor too. Awesome.
Needless to say there was a lesson or two learned here, 1) if it's too quiet and you don't think the baby is sleeping, then they probably are not sleeping. 2) never, ever put your baby down in just a tshirt and diaper unless you are ready to deal with the consequences!
Matt gave her a pre-dinner bath (and she cried from the time I walked into the room until we came down for dinner...maybe she realized what she had done was not good??). We could only just laugh because it was basically MY FAULT! Curious toddler + accessible diaper= recipe for disaster!
Hopefully you can all learn from my "mistake" :)

My little walker
Emmy has (finally) reached an all-important baby/toddler milestone- WALKING!!!! She has been standing alone, cruising etc for months. We knew she could walk because she would take multiple steps and then plop on her booty. Well, for some reason Saturday was her magical day. She woke up and decided to walk!!!
She is doing such a good job. It just seems so funny to us to see her walking because she didn't want to for so long! Silly girl! Her wobbly little toddler gait just makes my heart want to burst with pride and joy!
On another note, we are working to wean paci (or "p" is she fondly calls it) to just naps and bedtime. Somehow I got the joy of the 1st day without the beloved P. Thanks, honey.
She had an all out fit in her room this am when I told her P needed to stay in her crib and she was a big girl etc etc etc. She cried on the family room floor and I was 2 seconds away from giving in and getting it for her. The look on her face made me feel like I had taken away a limb or something. It was awful! It required a text to Daddy for support!
She seems fine now but we will see as the day goes on. It seems like if it is out of sight it's out of mind for her. Fortunately, most of the P's are in her room. Wish me luck (I know I will need it)!!!

The 15 month check up
We went to Emmy's 15 month check up a week ago with our wonderful nurse practitioner, Melissa. I cannot tell you how pleased we are with her-shout out to PNP Melissa :) We just love her and so glad we found her. Don't ever leave us Melissa!
Here are the long awaited stats: Weight: 23 lbs 12 ounces Height: 31.5 inches Head Circumference: 18 3/4 inches Once again, Emmy has grown! We knew she had grown but we didn't know how much. I thought she was closer to 25 lbs but Daddy guessed she stats almost right on (so he got to choose dinner for the night-Moe's-yum!).
Everything else is right on track for sure! Emmy says almost 40 words now and can point to many body parts-eyes, ears, nose, teeth, mouth, head, tummy, feet/toes and knows where her shoes go (and says shoes...obsessed with shoes-that's my girl!) and many other articles of clothing. She continues to impress us every day! She is so smart (sorry, I am just such a proud mommy). She got 2 shots at her appt-varicella (chicken pox) and Prevnar. We have a few more to do at her 18 month check up and then I think we may be done for quite awhile (thank goodness!).
Have a great weekend! love, Erika, Matt, Emily and #2

We've been super (duper) busy
We have had some fun and busy times in the Klitzke household the past few weeks (ie why I am not posting every day....well, maybe that might have to do with some other things.....oh well). I guess we can start with Memorial Day Weekend.
Here goes: On Saturday afternoon we went to a cookout with our friends Jill, Josh and Loralai and Dan, Cory and Isabella. Jill, Cory and I know each other through our mom's group and our girls have become great friends (and the mommys too!). The girls played and the moms gabbed and I think the dads took their turns watching the kiddos play. Emmy and Loralai had so much fun diving into the Lewis' ball pit with Isabella watching from the sidelines (she is only 9 months old, so someone had to be the ref!). I can tell our girls are going to have so much fun growing up together and playing, though I think Emmy and Lor are going to be sweet little trouble makers together. I haven't decided if Isabella is going to remain the unwilling (unknowing) participant in their mischief or just as "sweet" as Emmy and Lor. I say this out of love for all three girls but wow, look out when Emmy and Lor are like 3 (or 15 for that matter). We'll have to see which way Isabella goes. Ha ha. We had great time at the Lewis'-thanks for having us!!! We were all in bed early that night!
We had a relaxing day on Monday while Daddy was home with us.I think we just played at home and did things around the house. I can't exactly recall so it couldn't have been too life-impacting. On Wednesday we went to my sorority sister, Christine's, house to play. She has 2 girls, ages 2 and 4 and then she also invited another sorority sister, Meg (who was a roommate of mine one year when we lived in the house) and her little guy, Barrett. Barrett is a few weeks younger than Emmy. We had so much fun letting the kids play, while we caught up on life! We had lunch together as well. While we were eating lunch, we noticed Olivia (Christine's 2 year old) was missing in the house. Christine found her upstairs in her Daddy's shaving cream. Literally, she was in Daddy's shaving cream. She was covered in it and though I am sure it wasn't that particularly funny for Christine, we about died laughing! On Thursday, we went to the Milwaukee Zoo to meet up with our friends, the Davis'. Amanda and I have been good friends since my freshman year of college, were ADPi's together, roommates a few different years, went to nursing school together, stood up in each other's weddings and now our first born's are 3 months apart (to the day!). She has been a wonderful friend to me (actually all of us, as she and Matt knew each other through Dance Marathon-they were Morale Captains together)I wish we lived closer and could hang out on a more regular basis but at least we are only 3 hours away from each other now! It is fun that we can now hang out as families though sometimes Amanda and I enjoy our throwback (bk and bh...you figure that one out)days too :) Anyway, we went to the zoo and had a great time. The weather started out a little iffy but ended up working out great! We are really only an hour to Milwaukee. So far, the Milwaukee Zoo is our zoo of choice. We saw all kinds of animals and had a great time. I got to chat with Amanda and Jeff and the kids had fun seeing all of the animals. I think we were all exhausted when the day was done!
Emmy playing with her new kitchen and accessories!

For those of you who don't know anything about LPZ, it is in the city (uh, duh) and the admission is free, but the parking is $$$. It was pretty crowded and crazy but we had a great time. We do still have some questions about the zebra who was under medical care for seizures......hmmm....Emmy's favorite animals of the day were the lions (she kept saying "roar" to them) and most importantly, the cows. She loved the cows. That's my IOWA girl :)
