This Old House!

One thing that is neat about us living in the Atlanta area is that my mom grew up here. My grandparents were native "Atlantans" and very proud of it. So I grew up coming to visit them here in Atlanta often. A friend of mine from college invited us to come over and play this week. She emailed me her address. Guess where she lives? Right next door to my grandparents old house. I had actually been in her house before too! Is that not the craziest thing ever. It was so fun to go back to that area. I spent lots of time playing in their cul-de-sac. The house on Bethesda Ct. has been kept up well and I was proud to see that the area was not run down. I have so many special memories of my Nannie Ruby and Papa George!! This was my grandparents house for about 3o years!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy. This photo is a preview of your Father's Day Surprise. You have to go on a little scavenger hunt to find your gift. But first we wanted to tell you some things we like about you. Parker says, "I like to play cars with you." Coley says, "I like it when you snuggle with me at night." Micah says, "oooo!" Mommy says, "I'm so thankful for you and you are a great daddy!" Ready for your hunt? Here's your first clue. Look somewhere you squat often:)

Have Hand Will Suck!

Micah (left) sucks both thumbs, his fists, and anything else. Here he is sucking his buddy Charlie's hand. One day when he was fussy Kevin decided to aggravate him. Micah would suck one thumb...Kevin pulled it out...Micah sucked the other...Kevin pulled it out...Repeat!
Micah is almost 5 months old. He's been such a joy to our family. It's been neat to see how perfect God's timing was in Micah's birth. Though a surprise to us, he's been such a blessing to our family. It's neat to see the older kids love on him so much.

Rock Wall Warrior!

Despite the fact that Coley is our first born (typically more cautious) she has basically no fear when it comes to adventure. Rock climbing, jumping off a high dive, and water sliding were just a few of her activities this past week. We spent the week in Memphis visiting friends. This is her on the rock wall at a church picnic. If strength were not an issue she might have made it to the top!

Our Atlanta Vacation

Kevin is off work all week so our family is taking an "Atlanta Vacation." Instead of going out of town we decided to explore places in our new city. Today we took the kids to the Atlanta Aquarium. It's funny how seeing your kids have fun is what makes things fun for you. I almost felt like a child. I was excited all morning. Of course they loved it too. Whales, Sharks, Penguins! What is not to love? Here they are looking through the glass tunnell at all kinds of fish. I think this was the Beluga Whale swimming overhead. Wow! Lot's more to see and do in Atlanta!
