Nancy and Larry we in the crowd, live, when the Dawgs beat them! Jennifer and Drew are doing well. Emma is now 5 months. She is just growing and changing every day. She loves to go to Mrs. Sonera's, the lady that watches her during the day, and has been almost sleeping through the night. She wakes up to feed once, but usually goes right back to sleep. She loves to wake her mommy up earlier than it is time and she wakes up smiling! Jennifer and Emma also traveled down to the Georgia vs Auburn game. She met up with Larry and Nancy, and Granny watched Emma. School is going great! Jennifer has had a student teacher this semester and will start back teaching everything in a few weeks.

Bo and Vicky came for a weekend visit to Georgia. JoAnn stayed home with Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith is doing better. Well, Vicky's house was officially broken in when she came home from class one night and saw toilet paper on her mailbox, trees, and her front and back porches. The culprit even rolled out the words "ROLL TIDE" on her front lawn. (She is not an Alabama fan.) Some people said that she had it coming since she rolled several yards a couple of years ago, so she had several suspects but finally discovered it was one of her co-workers and her grandson who did it. Vicky only has 4 more classes to take and she will be finished with her Master's Degree. Right now, she is having to do a lot of research and big papers, but is really enjoying it. Hopefully, she will be finished by the end of this summer. Mary and Cletis went to their annual mystery dinner. Cletis was dressed as Will the Waiter. Mary was dressed as AnnaBelle.
