The zoo on the 17th was lots of fun! Emmy really enjoyed it. She did great, especially considering we had to fit it in between naps and lunch and traveling an hour each way. Mary Ann went with us and we had lunch with Libby and Tony before we went to the zoo. 
Emmy was really excited to see the animals. She was particularly interested in things she could see moving (gorillas, elephants, giraffes, some birds) or hear (birds). 
She fell asleep as we walked over to the botanical gardens and slept for a while, which was very good. We had a lovely afternoon and headed home to get ready for dinner out. We had a nice dinner at Cadwalladers with friends. It was a good day! 
On Monday the 19th Charles changed out of Company Command. I cannot tell you how excited we both are! He had been in Command for over 3 years and 7 months. For those of you non-Military, that's a loooong time. The first company he commanded he gave up command, then got in his car and drove to the other side of post to meet the general and start this job. Crazy! It is a huge relief to be free from the responsibility and the cell phone and emails. Whew! It was a nice ceremony and a lovely day. Now, he's getting ready for grad school! We are both looking forward to a little "break" from regular Army life.
The last weekend of the month we headed to Rome to visit with Charles' family and celebrate his Mom's birthday. We had a good time seeing Granddaddy and DeeDee and Aunt Beth and Uncle Griffin. I didn't take my camera out much during the weekend (it was very rainy!) but I did get a few pictures the evening of the big birthday celebration. Happy Birthday, Mary Louise/Mom/DeeDee!!
