Mommy and Emily in the Mountains, originally uploaded by Robby Edwards.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, October 2007

We headed up to the mountains to enjoy the change in weather (finally!). Emily didn’t want to look at the camera. She seemed to be distracted by all the other people that were around us.

This was taken at Newfound Gap. Later, we hiked to the top of Clingmans Dome.

My birthday was last week. At the final Lady Vols home game, Rachelle surprised me with a birthday cake delivered by Smokey.
