NC trip

I LOVE this picture of Emmie and her Mammy! 

This week Paul's mom and I took Emmie (and Franklin of course) to North Carolina so that Paul's grandmother could spend time with Emmie.  We went and stayed with Paul's Aunt Susie and Uncle Clyde and we had such a nice visit!  Susie and Clyde were keeping their granddaughters on Tuesday and they are absolutely adorable and Emmie enjoyed being around them.   Emma is 6, Mary Jane is 5, and Laura Ann will be 5 next week.  Emmie was quite facinated with them and they were really good with her.  They especially enjoyed reading to her which made me so happy because I have such a great love for reading and I want Emmie to as well!

They were also great with Franklin and he did so well with them.  He got a little grumpy a few times but overall he seemed to really enjoy being around everybody.

Paul's Aunt Sonja came by for a few minutes on Tuesday to visit with Emmie.

Tuesday night Paul's cousins and their spouses came over for dinner and we had a very yummy meal and the company was fabulous!  After dinner on Tuesday night Paul's cousin Danny played the piano and sang to Emmie...it was so sweet and she LOVED it...she even thought she'd give the whole piano playing thing a whirl!

A few funny things Emmie did while we were there:
1. at dinner on Tuesday night she was REALLY tired because she hadn't napped very well and this was what she was doing....guess it was too much effort to hold her head up!

2. at breakfast the next morning she turned sideways in the highchair and was reclining back while eating her meal...hilarious! 

Then she was just sitting in her highchair all relaxed and full and she almost fell asleep...I kept hoping she would so that I could get a picture of it for the blog but perhaps another time!
