The good ole' Dixie Classic Fair

Emerson rode two real deal rides at the fair this year, but his favorite part was the petting zoo! He loves animals!!

PARTY like it's your B'DAY!!

We had a great time at Emerson's birthday party in North Carolina!!

Thanks, Gigi, Poppy, Nonni, and Grandad, for all you did to make the day a huge success! Another big thanks to all our friends and family who came and made the party magical! We love you all!!

ONE YEAR!!!!!!

Emerson turned one on October 6!!

What a big year we've had!! I can't believe how much he has grown and changed in 365 days. We are having such a blast with our little man!!

Right now, Emerson's favorite things are exploring the world on foot and learning how to say new words!! Ball, tractor, bus, flower, bike, car, and poot (yes, poot) are some of his favorites!!

"Were you in the boat when the boat tipped over?"

"No, silly, I was in the water."

September in Chicago

Aunt Amy came to visit...



...and yes, a couple days have been cold enough for Emerson to wear a toboggan! CRAZY!!!

A Daddy and his Boy...

Go White Sox!!

Emerson attended his first Chicago White Sox game yesterday. He loved it! His favorite part of the day was the ice cream cone his daddy shared with him!
