My mother, aunt and brother are camping in Georgia this week, so Mommy planned a short trip to see them. Emily really enjoyed her day visiting with them.

Grandma was surprised when Mommy and Emily showed up at the campsite.

Emily likes to collect things. We call them “her treasures”.

Playing in the Leaves, originally uploaded by Robby Edwards.

Oak Ridge, TN, November 2007

A couple of weeks ago, Rachelle took Emily out to play in the leaves which had fallen in our yard. Next year, we’ll probably let her jump in the big piles of leaves after we rake them up.

By the way, Emily also has a shiny set of new front teeth. Her lower two front teeth have come in, after a relatively short bout of teething related fussiness. She doesn’t quite know what to make of them. She keeps rubbing her tongue over them as if to check that they are still there.
