Mountain getaway

This weekend we were able to take a short trip to the mountains.  We found a pet-friendly hotel with great ratings, so we were able to take Newton along for the trip.  Emory was at the end of recovering from a cold but I was in the middle of nastiness.  It didn't make for the most enjoyable vacation.. but if nothing else, it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday and enjoy time with my family and seeing beautiful scenery.  (oh and eating waffles)

Best way to start a mountain getaway.  Waffles (and pancakes).  Emory loved it!

We spent a lot of our time driving around to see the beautiful mountain sights.

he sure does have fun with his Daddy.  And it makes my heart so happy.

 Of course we needed to stop for some yummy candy and caramel apples.

We bought one of those magic sticks.. not the pink one though.  Emory LOVES it.

Emory cozy in his fox pjs in honor of his newest friend's (Nolan) birth-day.

Beautiful Christmas lights in Gatlinburg.

Happy First Fathers Day!

This past weekend was Aaron's first Fathers Day.  It's hard to say we actually celebrated.. since we were at the beach, and that's not one of Aaron's most favorite things ever.  But our family of 3 will make sure to celebrate together soon.  

Emory and I are truly been blessed to have Aaron.  He is working on his PhD with such dedication all while watching Emory 4 days a week and spending lots of time with us on the weekend.  I know it's not easy for him but I am so thankful that he's been the one watching over Emory when I go to work each day.  I know things will change soon, but it's been a true gift these last couple of months. 

Aaron - thanks so much for being an awesome daddy.  I had no doubt you would be.  

We love you.  

And he apparently loves us too since he spent his first Fathers Day on the beach… :)
