Fall has begun

Last weekend Brent, Emory, and I "Collected Loot for the Cure". We planned on running the 5K, but Brent's knee was injured so we walked around the pavilion getting the swag instead. We like participating either way. :)

My neighbor gave Emory these sunglasses and I'm amazed that she seems to like wearing them. She prefers eating them.

Somehow we seem to have lost two cameras in 6 months, so we don't have pictures of Brent's parents' visit. We do have a camera phone picture of the swing they fixed up for Emory.

The picture with Brent is from a day trip to Breckenridge last weekend. We went and saw the last of the Aspen tree colors and enjoyed the mountains. Aunt Leesa was right, I don't know who has a cuter smile here.

And the blanket picture is from September 1st. I woke up and fall was here. We went for a walk with a friend, and it was so cold that I had to bundle Emory with all the blankets I could find. She seemed to love it, and I think she looks like one of those Anne Geddes babies here.

The Adopted Aunts and Uncle...

Since I'm an only child I've been really blessed by the people God has given me as siblings. They've been right beside me for my biggest life experiences thus far, and are now awesome adopted aunts and uncles. Aunt Ashley is quickly filling up Emory's library to make sure that she is a smart girl. Aunt Catherine gave Emory her first important uniform...a UT cheerleader outfit. Sooooooo darling with the matching pom poms.



Emory got to play with Uncle Trey and Aunt Elicia this trip, and obviously had so much fun with them. And my Dad came over from Austin. She got to see him two weeks in a row and it was so great to see her start to recognize him. She's actually pretty fascinated with him- of course he's a pretty fascinating guy.

Needless to say, she is so loved and I LOVE that!

Labor Day at Canyon Lake

Emory and I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at Canyon Lake with the Waggeners. It was truly a vacation- great company, great views, and built in babysitting. :)

Pat, aka "Big Momma" and Bill, aka "Papa Bill"gave Emory all the attention a baby could want. Brent had to stay behind on this one...poor guy.
