Finally Feels Like Fall
On the way to church this morning, Emmie was really having a moment loving this tiny teddy bear from Grandmommie.

Lime Green
Welllll once again, today is all about Emmie. I literally don’t have any other photos from today, except for ones of her. It was just a regular, ordinary day, so I didn’t really think about taking photos. I worked like crazy, had lunch & read at my desk, and then picked up my girl from school. We had our little 3-fam family dinner at home, then put on music and sang & danced in the living room, while Emerson walked around eating a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tart, which she’s now obsessed with, after getting them during the hurricane.
These first three photos are from drop-off this morning, where she was reading the cupcake book to one of little friends. This little girl always comes over to hug Emmie when we get there every morning, and it’s so sweet.

Surprise Double Date
My little girl woke up super sleepy this morning after staying up late last night. But by the time we got to her classroom, she was happy & ready to play with her friends and teachers!

All About Emmie
Y’all, my baby girl is smart. This morning at drop-off, she sat down with her teacher, Ms. Q, to read a book. Ms. Q asks Emerson to point at specific things, and she was able to correctly point at the dog in the red hat, the kitty cat, and the red truck! I was so impressed!

Bistro Lunch & Book Fair
So, drop-off this morning was weird at Growing Room. Just seconds before we walked in the door, the electricity went off again! They had been out for a few days at the end of last week due to the hurricane, but it came back and all was fine for school yesterday, but just clicked off this morning. So I dropped her off in the mostly dark center, with just the emergency lighting. It did come back on at some point, or else I would have had to go back and pick her up. I only took one photo with the flash, so I wouldn’t blind the little nugget.

Dinner at Sonny’s
This morning, I accidentally overslept by over an hour, but it was just so dang hard to get out of my own bed, after our first night back in a few days, and all the work we did around the house yesterday. By the time Emerson and I got to school, all her friends were sitting at the table eating breakfast. I got Emmie settled in, and took these photos while she watched her teacher getting her plate ready. She was just so sweet and interested and patient. And adorable!

Weekend Update
Wow, things have been crazy over the last 5-6 days. I haven’t blogged since last Wednesday, and that was just a few quick sentences after the hurricane came through, and our power had gone out, and we were sitting in a hot, dark house. I’ve done a few Facebook posts since then (when I was able to get some spotty cell service), so I’ll skip a few days, and just catch up on yesterday and today…

Hurricane Michael
Well, the worst of it didn’t hit Tally, but we’ve had crazy wind & a bunch of rain today. Approximately 80,000 people in Leon County have no power, and that includes us, my whole family, and Jeff’s parents as well. We lost power around 3:15, so we had peanut butter sammie’s & white cheddar popcorn for dinner. Emmie is asleep now, but we had no way to heat her night time bottle, so she wasn’t thrilled with that. She usually drinks 5oz, but tonight she only had 1oz of cold milk.
Jeff and I are currently sitting around in the candlelight (I’m reading Erin & Ben Napier’s book, he’s watching a movie on his phone), waiting for an appropriate-ish bedtime. Praying everything stays calm here through the night, and that tomorrow is a much better day all around!
