old friends... old school

We're are back from our mad dash to Birmingham. On Wednesday we stopped over in Auburn, Alabama (recent victors over a mean Gator team) to see our friend Diego who is getting his masters in poultry science. We had a great time visiting Diego and seeing the campus. I also got quite a kick out of seeing Diego at the frat house. Diego is vice-president of his pledge class. We are so proud of him.

Once in B'ham we went out with friends Chris and Susan Blazer. Johnny Ray's is always a treat. I had the Wednesday night special, barbecue chicken. And then on the way out we stopped off at Milo's. Two classic B'ham restaurants.

BikeFest

This week was BikeFest for Bainbridge, GA, so we spent Saturday at the park feeling the biker vibe. Braden counted some 300+ motorcycles. Here's a picture of Simon in front of what we called the I Spy Bike.

green hair and ham

Wednesday night was crazy hair night at Awana. After we got done painting the boys' hair green, Lucy repeatedly pointed to her head saying, heya... heya (hair... hair). So Lucy went with green hair to the nursery.

Lucy's 2nd

Tomorrow is Lucy's second birthday. We celebrated on Saturday with a few friends and family. Lucy had a big time and ate lots of sweets. I thought it was funny how "unsurprised" she was. She acted as if she knew exactly what was going on the whole time and everything came off just as she planned it. Also towards the end of the party after opening a stuffed animal pony from her Grandpa, when no one was looking she sat on top of it and started saying, neigh, neigh. Classic. Here are a few pictures from the party.

Go Bearcats!

The boys and I went to the ballgame on Friday night with Poppy to see the Bearcats' opener. After leading 6-0 at the half we went home. It was raining some and I think we were too far away for the boys to see enough to be interested. But it was getting late. After we left there was quite a downpour and the Bearcats went down with it, losing 20-13.
