We (the kids and I) had a great visit with Skip and Emily earlier this week. The kids (Kate especially) were not feeling their best, but enjoyed everyone’s extra love and attention.
They were in Mobile because Emily attended a regional International Reading Association conference. Her school selected her to represent them at a national meeting in Chicago earlier this year and she had the opportunity to attend the regional meeting as well. 
Emily is a first grade teacher extraordinaire… she’s so great that she was lured away from her previous school (with all sorts of perks including raises and signing bonuses) and now is teaching with a magnet school outside of Jacksonville. She also just found out that she has been nominated for Teacher of the Year!! 
We all know first hand how fantastic Emily is and we are so thrilled that her talent and dedication are getting noticed in such rewarding ways! Way to go, Emily!!!
