Fun with "Nano-Papa"

We brought Emily home with us from Lubbock yesterday, and will have her until her Mama and Daddy come back from Dallas on August 9. She is a good traveler (although she doesn't sleep much) and has fun playing with "Nano-Papa." Even though she calls her Grampa "papa" right now and calls me "Nano" (for Nana Jo), most of the time we are a single entity: Nano-Papa.

She came loaded with toys, but really enjoys watching our laptop computer with the "babies" slideshow. She has managed to say "Jackson" and doesn't call him a baby anymore.

We came home with a bushel of black-eyed peas to shell and can, so Grampa shelled on the deck while Emily and Nana Jo splashed in the fishy pool.

Then Emily "helped" shell peas.

Here she is learning to walk downhill on the deck ramp as she was finding the birdies. She must be a movie buff like her Mama and Daddy because she kept saying, "Bye Bye, Birdie." (For the younguns, that was a 60's movie with Elvis.)
