Mom, Libby (her dog), Emerson and I piled in the car Thursday and headed to Sherman. We went to Judy's house (mom's dear friend).. She has been dying to see Emerson so we stayed with her for the night. It was so good to see her and visit. I forgot to break out my camera so might taking her picture.
Friday we headed to Carrollton. I'm pretty sure it was about 180 degrees (or maybe it was more like 108).. Doesn't matter it was HOT... Thank goodness for air conditioning.. that's all I have to say. :)
We went to Ohmie and Poppy's where we were greeted with open arms and lots of smiles. Of course I'm pretty sure that they didn't even realize I was there.. Went straight for the backseat to grab the baby and they were off. (I'm so used to this by now so its ok) :)
Aunt Courtney, Uncle Jimmy, Austin and Blake (Em's cousins) came by that evening. It is so darn cute to watch these boys with her. Blake loves her for sure but my goodness Austin I think would take her home with him in a New York second if I let him. He is SO cute with her.

| Emerson has a love for Giraffes (ok maybe her momma does).. So Ohmie brought out a big giraffe for her to play with.. Of course you have to strip off your diaper and go naked when playing with giraffe's... right? |

My Grandmother Crenshaw was diagnosed with Alzheimer's years ago.. 13 I think. Over the years we have watched her go down hill and sadly have witnessed her loose her memory and now not even recognizing people that mean the world to her. This woman is so sweet. I know I'm suppose to say that because she is my grandmother... but it's true. She is the definition of kind. I have memories that stretch back as far as a little bitty girl and I will forever hold them close to my heart. When I was planning on making this trip I wanted to make sure I went to visit my Grandma. I wanted her to meet her new Great Grand Daughter. That was Very important to me. Well lets just say the first part of the visit didn't go as smooth as planned but with Grandma we knew that the mood would swing soon so we just waited it out. And thank goodness we did. Mom had brought Libby as well and I'm pretty sure she is what brought Grandma out of her funk. So when I saw this I ran over and wanted to take advantage of a happy sweet Grandma.. When I sat down beside her it was almost like she recognized me.. She reached for my face and pulled it towards hers and kissed me at least a dozen times.. She also reached for my hand so sweetly and just kept talking to me and kissing my hand. Of course I did not understand one word she said but it didn't matter. It was the look in her eyes that I recognized.. It was the love in her eyes that I never want to forget. THAT was my grandma. The memory of that day will ALWAYs fill my heart. I love you Grandma..
