...but is it here to stay. We have more grass right now than we have had all summer. We are still in a severe drought, but we did get a little rain this week and the temperature has cooled off a little. Emerson is now 10 months old. Getting big. He is eating just about everything that Todd and I are. Todd can't wait until Emerson is one so that he can take him out for sushi. The doctor said it would be alright after that. Emerson is not a picky eater like his mom. He enjoys most vegetables, turkey, meatball subs, and cherios. We are trying to go very light on the sugar. He only drinks his formula and water. He is doing very well these days. He is not walking on his own yet, but he is making his way around the furniture.
Todd and I are going to carve a pumpkin tomorrow. I think I am going to let Emerson help. He should help with his first pumpkin don't you think?
I said in my heart, "I am sick of four walls and a ceiling. I have need of the sky. I have business with the grass." -Richard Hovey
A moody child and wildly wise
Pursued the game with joyful eyes,
Which chose, like meteors, their way,
and rived the dark with private ray
They overleapt the horizon's edge,
Searched with Apollos privilege;
Through man, and woman, and sea, and star.
Saw the dancer of nature forward far,
Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times
Saw a musical order, and pairing rhymes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Two weeks and sick already.
Well, I have been at my new job for two weeks now, and I am sick already. I went to bed with a sore throat Sunday night and went to school quite sick on Monday. It is Tuesday now and I am feeling somewhat better. I am trying not to get Emerson sick, but I am sure sometime this winter I will probably pass something on.
Todd and I have been busy working on the house. As you can see from the picture we painted our shudders, we also put in a new dishwasher, and we are going to be putting in wood flooring. The dogs have not been kind to the burbur carpeting.
We are going to be going to Chattanooga this weekend. The best man from our wedding is getting married. I am looking forward to going, I still love Chattanooga. There is no place like it for me. We may take the little guy and go climbing. The couple that we are staying with have a son that was born in May, if we all go together, Amanda and I can take turns climbing and watching the babies. Should be fun, maybe Emerson can get on a couple of routes. Just kidding.
Hope all is well wherever this finds you.
With love

Kiah's Birthday Party
On May 10th we drove to Chattanooga for our friends' babies first birthday party. Emerson had a great time. They had a baby pool and a slip and slide. Our other friend David was there with his twins. Daniel and Olivia played with Emerson in the baby pool. I think Emerson really liked having kids his size to play with.
Getting ready for more.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo
Well, I have resurfaced. It has been a long time.
Emerson has recently found a love for trains. Choo Choo is his favorite word. That and he likes to quack like a duck. Todd and I took Emerson to see this train caboose. It is parked in Clemson University's botanical garden.
