South Carolina Visit

Desperately needing an Emery fix, I tried to book a cheap flight to Greenville for a visit. I quickly found out that there is no such thing anymore! However, the cheapest flight was to Atlanta on September 11th, and I booked it, flying back home on Sunday. My mom decided that she would come up and bring Anna for the weekend as well, so she volunteered to pick me up at the airport. Flying out on September 11th was odd, the airports on both ends were almost completely empty! I suppose a lot of people are superstitious, but it didn't bother me at all. We made a late arrival in Greenville and quickly hit the sack. Saturday we simply hung out and talked and played with Emery the entire day, although we did go out for a wonderful dinner at Bone Fish Grill. After Emery went to bed, we played cards and watched the Bulldogs game online (meaning that we watched the updated score on the MSN website!). Sunday morning we went to the Falls Park, my obligatory place to visit while I am there. We had hoped to get pictures of Emery in the beautiful landscapes, but they didn't have many things blooming at the time, and Emery was about ready for a nap! She humored us for some photos, but we decided to bail out pretty quickly before she got fussy. I tended to focus more on playing with Emery and spent less time taking pictures, so I didn't get many great ones. I also had a setting wrong on my camera which messed up some of the other pictures. I'm still learning!

Emery is definitely growing and changing and learning more and more every day! She's babbling, laughing, sitting, and just about ready to crawl. She's completely fascinated with her Hailey, and her eyes follow Hailey around the room every chance she gets. She's sleeping less during the day, but still sleeps for long stretches at night, and is just absolutely flourishing! She's a very happy baby who only fusses when she's hungry or tired, and Sara has gotten to be the expert on which one is which. Things are going well in the Glenn household!

On the picture front, here's the best of the best from the weekend....

Ryan, Sara and Emery on the Falls Park suspension bridge.

Anna on her first visit to the Falls Park.

All the girls together!

There wasn't much blooming at the park, but this hydrangea was blooming it's little heart out! On one of the pedestrian swings.
Emery and her Boppy! We have finally settled on the names Boppy for me, and Poppy for Mark...just in time for her to learn them!

An indoor photo of the girls... All the rest of the pictures are the many faces of Emery!

Here she is being gansta' and cheerin' for her Dawgs!

Emery does not like many foods beyond rice cereal. Here she is trying bananas. It misses the sound effect, which was her hissing and growling!! Hilarious!
