Halloween

Emmy has been watching lots of Gray's Anatomy lately. She dressed up as a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. It was quite a neighborhood hit and lots of folks took pictures of her because she was so adorable and obviously brilliant.

 

 



For the carnival at her school, she dressed up as the little girl from Poltergeist, complete with TV. Of course, the best part was bringing Audrey to the carnival with her.

Finally, she had a Halloween party at the house and was Princess Diana and I was her royal guard.



San Diego

As soon as we got back to Memphis, I had a conference in San Diego and Natalie was awesome enough to go with me. It was great fun and there is nothing like spending time with forever friends. Away from the every day hustle and bustle--just time with old friends.

 

Columbus Day Weekend

One of our favorite new traditions is going to Gulf Shores on Columbus Day weekend. It is the start of Emmy's fall break and the crowd has died down by then. We had the best time but ended up leaving a day early because a hurricane was headed that way. Elly loved the water once she got used to it--at first she was amazed it was attacking her like that. :)
