At Home with Emily

We arrived in Portland late Sunday night, so Emily was already asleep. Steph had an early morning dental appointment, so Grampa and Nanajo just waited for Emily to wake up and discover us. She came out of her bedroom, looked at us without moving, and then when I spoke to her she literally ran into my arms. She kept saying (and is still saying), "I'm so glad to see you, Nana Jo!" Here are a few pictures of what we've done at Emily's house.

Stephanie's tree was really pretty but had no presents. One afternoon while Emily slept, I wrapped what we brought with us plus some that Stephanie had. She said that since Emily was used to the tree being there, she might not notice the presents...WRONG. Emily walked up to the tree and said, "Wow! Presents" and then sat down and rearranged everything. She never seemed interested in opening anything, just playing with them.
