A Wonderful Fall Weekend

Finally, a weekend to relax and enjoy the wonderful fall weather in Atlanta! We took full advantage of having nothing to do and it was great :) We cooked blueberry muffins (Reese's fav) on Saturday morning, went to a pumpkin patch, ate mexican and watched football.

Robert picked out a big pumpkin and Reese picked out a little one, then spiked it on the ground! Sunday we painted our big pumkin, which turned out to be the most whop-sided pumpkin ever!! Reese had so much fun painting it. We covered the kitchen table with garbage bags and of course used washable paint. Reese painted her pants and socks more than the pumpkin, and tasted each color of the paint!

The only thing that would have made it a perfect weekend would have been one more FEILD GOAL :)

Zoo Atlanta

We finally got a chance to go to the Zoo!! It was Reese's first trip. We have been trying to go for a while but between all of our illnesses and the weather we just got around to it. Yesterday was a beautiful day to go!

The flamingo's were the first thing we saw followed by the birds. Reese really likes bird (second to dogs). I think it is because they make so many noises.

She wasn't really interested in the quieter animals -- she more enjoyed watching the tiny bugs crawling around the exhibits?!

Her favorite thing by far was the petting zoo. At first we were some of the only people in there. Then it got more crowded and I guess the animals got excited because they started peeing and pooping everywhere! So we didn't stay long!!

And we ended the trip with a carousel ride. She love, loved it! I know I say she loves a lot of things but she really loved the carousel!

déjà vu?

No, just another football season! Go VOLS!!

Surgury Update

Reese had eye surgury on Wednesday and everything went suprisingly well. Robert and I, especially me the worrier, had really expected the worst. Other than a little confusion when she woke up she was quite pleasant. The sugury literally took 10 minutes. By the time they moved us to a post-op room the doctor was coming to let us know they were finished. I can't say enough good things about Children's Hospital of Atlanta! The nurses were wonderful, they had lots of toys to occupy Reese and they were on time! We were leaving by 8 which was awesome. AND we have had NO junk in the eye!!!

Cabe and Nicole come to Atlanta

Cabe and Nicole came to visit last week on their fall break. We had so so much fun! Reese LOVED having a play mate and slumber party! Although their visit was waayy too short we got to do lots of fun things. We went to the Children's Museum, which was a big hit! They are both at good ages to really enjoy the activities and not get bored. We were there about 2 hours and they weren't ready to leave. I would highly suggest it as a winter activity. They can run around and play without getting cold!

And of course we did some shopping. Don't worry Dad and Jay, Cabe didn't enjoy it! We also just played around the apartment and showed them around Atlanta. We were sad to see them go :(
