Todd's paternal grandparents live near Charlotte, NC. Just a couple of weeks ago we went for a visit.
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

A day out with Thomas
Emerson sure did have fun the day we went to see Thomas. It was a long drive to get there, but it was worth every minute. Emerson was able to play with the train table (he would have been happy there all day), see some animals, and ride Thomas the train. He even came home with a Thomas tattoo. The ride was about 25 minutes long, there was lots of kiddie music, and he received a certificate commemorating his "Day out with Thomas".

Chaos
I am well aware that the state of my blog is not good. It is in complete chaos. I am trying to fix the problem. I just do not have that much time. I hope that I am now on the right track and I will now give you a short update.
I am now working at a daycare center. I have a class of 12 four year olds.
Todd is between semesters and watching Emerson daily.
Emerson is growing like a weed and learning new things all the time. He can now give the thumbs up. We took him to see Thomas the Train a couple of weeks ago. He loved it. We even got to take a ride on the train.
The new one is doing well. It is a girl. We are still deciding on a name.
Denali and Loki are doing well. Trying to stay out of Emerson's way.
That's all folks.

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.
