A Visit With Uncle Johnny and Aunt Emily

I am so late on this post, but this week has just been so busy. But I guess it is better late than never- right? Anyway, last Thursday we decided at the last minute to take an impromptu visit to Nashville to see my brother Johnny and his wife Emily. The weather was so nice that we just couldn't stay inside. So Johnny and Emily took us to this we went to this great park/gardens called Cheekwood; it was AMAZING!! And Lillian had a great time running all over the place and playing in the leaves.

But I am pretty sure that Lillian's favorite part of the entire trip was playing/attacking Johnny and Emily's dog Hogan. This was no surprise to Shaun and I; Lillian loves dogs! Oh, and Johnny and Emily watched Lillian on Saturday night while Shaun and I went out to dinner for a couple hours( I will blog those pics at a later time). I was so worried because they had never watched her, but Johnny didn't let her get two feet away from him and Emily is a natural mommy. They will be such great parents one day...hopefully one day soon( hint, hint you guys)! It was a wonderful trip and I cannot wait to go back a visit soon.

*warning: a lot of pictures to follow...

the Cheeckwood House-was amazing!

Uncle Johnny and Aunt Emily

Johnny insisted that Lillian take a picture with this statue.

I was taking this picture and Lillian started tapping on the rock for me to sit next to her...

so of course I did.

Lillian is obsessed with water. Shaun had to hold her dress to keep her from diving in.

he got to her just in time.
