My parent's recently went on a trip with Belmont University to Italy. They were gone for 2 weeks and we sure did miss them. Jacob couldn't wait to pick them up at the airport.
waiting for them to come through the gate
happy reunion
Jacob didn't have anything to do with mom and dad the rest of the night
waiting for the luggage
J thought it was so fun to watch all the bags come around
We have been hard at work on J's big boy room. I am trying to have everything done for his birthday. A few weeks ago Renna came over and we painted. I'll have lots more finished product pics soon, but for now here is a little preview:

I can't wait to see what it's all going to look like when it comes together
George came to Pottery Barn kids for story time.
a little trip to the Farmer's Market
J kept asking, "where are the farmers?"
A few weeks ago one of my cousin's on my dad's side of the family got married. We headed to Atlanta for the weekend. We stayed at the Westin.....ummmmm tallest hotel I have ever been in. Our room was on the 48th floor, but there was a glass elevator that went 70-something stories high. Of course, we had to go to the top and take in the view!!!
our little daredevil waiting on the elevator
he.was.pumped.
only group shot we managed to get
little revolving restaurant where we stopped for a bit of refreshment
j got to sleep in a huge, comfy hotel bed
lovely view from our room
a trip to ATL wouldn't be complete without a visit to the aquarium
if you have never been it is definitely worth a trip
fascinated watching the Mr. Scuba Man clean the tank
the dolphins were of course my fave!!
Our sweet friends the McCullough's came for dinner one night
Walter is just the cutest and these two played so well together!!!
