We all made the trip to Georgia in July! I think the kids look forward to this week all year long! We got lots of good time with Mimi, Paka, Aunt Amanda, Uncle David, Noah, Gavin, Levi & Asher!!
Here is Lila meeting Asher. She was smitten:)
Nate was pretty smitten too...he liked the idea of the oldest and the youngest being together. Sweet Nate is 11 years older than Asher. It's a scary thought to think when Asher is 11, Nate will be 22. Ahhhhh....
Our annual picture for Mimi...the kids all cooperated so well. No, for real. They did. Anything for Mimi!
Oh my gosh. They are sitting next to each other and are not fighting. This situation does not happen very often. For real.
Well. This is a lot of people to get together. But they did it! There was only a minor catastrophe in between takes. Lila hit her head somehow. I don't even remember how now. But she survived...
Annual tradition of going to Stone Mountain! How are they all this big?!?!
Sweet morning cuddles with Asher.
One day, we decided at breakfast to head to Athens to the UGA campus and to eat at the Grill. On a whim. Totally unplanned. With 6 kids. Who are we???? But it was totally the BEST day! Eating at the grill...feta and fries...YUM YUM. Notice Nate and his button their shirt all the way up posse. Ahem.
I'm so proud of this picture! Amanda & Scott & their kiddos under the Arch! I absolutely love it.
While on campus, we visited the fountain where Scott proposed to me almost 17 years ago...December 18, 1999. I was so happy to be back there. The kids? Eh. They weren't super impressed. But oh well, they can say they've been there.
A bit older now...and wiser!
Lila & Gavin...sweet kiddos.
We also went to the Atlanta Zoo when we were there. The Pandas were so exciting! I love them. We were there when Nate was little, maybe 2008. This is him now.
And back then...whaaaaaa....where did my baby go??
I know Mimi feels the same way. Here they are now. He's almost as tall as her!! Very soon, very soon. Tears.
I love this boy. He is growing into being such a fine young man. And a wonderful cousin/friend for Nate. I wish we lived closer to them. Truly. I wish that all the time. They have such a special friendship. All the cousins do. Warms my heart.
All the hooligans at the Zoo! Love all of them SO much!
Nate & Levi...Levi is such a sweet big brother. And is growing up toooooo fast!!
On our last night there, we met Patrick, Nicole & Ellie at a restaurant that had an outdoor space. Kids? Outdoor place? We're there.
They were playing football. With tables around them. Yes. Yes, I was a very nervous mother.
Yes, that's Nate about to tackle somebody. He doesn't get it from me:)
And to end this wonderful post, Scott meeting his newest nephew...so sweet!
