Aunt Emily moved to Savannah

Aunt Emily moved to Savannah, GA this past weekend. We are SO sad to see her leave Houston, but SO happy for the life that lies ahead! Uncle Zach, Aunt Emily's fiancee, is stationed in the army in Savannah, so they will be there for the next four years. Aunt Emmy (as she's known to A and E) moved to Houston when Ashton was only 2 weeks old. They have such a special bond. When Ashton was an infant, Aunt Emmy was the only person that could rock him to sleep at times. He would literally hit her shoulder and zonk out. It amazed me every single time. I can remember one time when he was sick and couldn't be consoled. I called Aunt Emmy and over she came. She rocked him for a solid 3 hours, afraid that he would wake up if she put him down. She has been such a huge part of Ashton's little life, and Emory's too. She was invaluable to me when John's dad was ill, physically and emotionally, always coming over when needed and offering to do whatever she could. She use to come after work and take Ashton on long walks to the park when I was just too tired. She is our resident dog/house sitter, and thanks to her, Jakson has not been boarded in years. Yes, she will be missed! We love you so much, Aunt Emmy, and are SO insanely proud of you.
