We're back...not in our house yet, but back in columbus. We are going to try to get moved back in this weekend. We had a great time in colorado! Emerson became very independent while we were gone, which was nice and kind of weird at the same time. I am so used to her wanting me right by her side but she was happy just knowing I was somewhere in the area. She bonded with her Mimi (my mom-it was supposed to Meemaw but emerson calls her Mimi), her Pa (my dad-it was supposed to be Meepaw which we will continue to work on), her aunt Mal Mal (my sister Malorie), and her uncle Ty (my brother Tyler). She has been asking for them all day, I guess they will all need to make a trip to columbus. We spent lots of time outside because the weather was perfect...80's and sunny! We went to my brother's graduation from college...yeah Tyler! We also found my old monkey that I got from santa many years ago, and as you can see emerson loved it. She loved it so much that we stuffed it into our suitcase and brought it home.
