Basketball

Joey grew up playing basketball, so since Emery was old enough to hold a ball he has encouraged her to "play." This particular night she was really into it!

School Days

Emery and I are back in school for the fall. She is going two days a week at our church. I was nervous about the drop off because the staff now comes to our car to get her out. Well, the first day was much worse for me than for Emery! She went right to her teacher and said "bye mommy." She loves to go and asks every morning if it is time for school!

School is going great for me as well. I am working at the Shepherd Center this semester and love it. It is a catastrophic care hospital for patent's with acquired brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. It has been a very humbling time for me, it reminds me each day how fragile life truly is!

Its is also pretty funny, when Emery is upset with me or if she just wants some extra attention from Nan (Joey's mom, who watches her when I am at school or the hospital) she says to me "mommy don't you need to take a test at school?"

~Here are a few pictures from her first day of preschool~

Emery and Kennedy

The three of us headed to Atlanta for Joey's summer work party. We don't head south of Woodstock often and when Emery saw the Atlanta skyline she said: "look mommy, MOUNTAINS!!" Emery had so much fun with Kennedy...here are a few cute pictures...
