But here is what we have been up to: Saturday night Cheryl offered to keep Ems while Troy and I went on, a much needed, date. We went to the dollar theatre, and they went to the zoo. Cheryl is like a adoptive Aunt to Emily. She loves Cheryl and I think the feeling is mutual. Here is a note from Cheryl about the whole evening, I almost cried: "Hi there! Just wanted to say thanks for letting me keep Ems yesterday. I had a great time. She is such a sweet, obedient, fun child. I was so impressed with how she did whatever I asked, and was never disobedient. Several hours together and no crying at all!! She used great manners, saying thank you to me for putting her shoes on. Hopping, skipping, singing through the zoo. Wanting"more peacock." Giving me big smiles when I would look at her. Reaching up to take my hand when she didn't have to. Running around the house making airplane noises. Telling Gracie "stop it Bobers." Telling Nate "stop it Nate." What a precious little girl. Made me fall in love with her all over again!! Here is a picture Cheryl snapped from the zoo...

Thanks Cheryl for keeping her. We did not worry one second, and we love you!
There there's; Playing with Bows...

Well you know me. If something almost made you cry I boohooed a bucket. Thank you, Cheryl, for loving my sweet Emily so much. I am so thankful for Carianne's loving church friends that fill in the gap of our being so far away. I love to read about your times together. My Emily is growing so fast and so sweet. I miss seeing her so much. I guess I need to make a trip to Birmingham sometime soon. I just don't think I can wait until Labor Day. Thanks for posting such wonderful pictures. It helps so much to keep up with her and eases the pain of missing you all. I loved the bow picture. It made me and Poppy laugh. I love you all, Mom
