Atlanta

James had to do some work in Atlanta again so we tagged along with him.  We spent 4 nights/days with James’ grandparents and had a wonderful time.  The girls absolutely love Grandmom and Granddad.  We also got to spend some time with aunts, uncles, and cousins.  The girls definitely got a little spoiled while there and Marlie is still talking about it.  We can’t wait to go back.

We stopped at the Garner’s house on our way down.  We had delicious homemade pizza and brownies for dinner and enjoyed each other’s adult conversation.  Harrison still loves trains and really wanted Marlie to play with them but she wanted to play horse instead.  They still had a lot of fun together.  They are always on the go so this is the best picture we got of the two of them.  Marlie was dancing around the room and Harrison managed to grab onto her for this quick picture.  Marlie and Lyla both loved sweet Millie Kate and wouldn’t leave her alone.  She is 6 months old and weighs a pound more then Lyla did at her 13 month appointment.  Her chunky arms and legs are so cute!!  Here’s the best picture I could get of our sweet girls together.  We really wish that we all lived closer together.  Can’t wait for their visit to Nashville!!

The girls had lots of fun riding around in Grandmom and Granddad’s red wagon.  Granddad even set up the tent equipped with flashlights, lanterns, and wildlife for Marlie and Nathan to play in.  Such great memories for this 2nd cousins to share.  Marlie even used her very big muscles to pull Nathan and Stephen in the wagon.  The girls loves picking some of Grandmom’s beautiful azaleas.  It was so nice to spend time with everyone in a very relaxing setting.  We usually make a trip to Atlanta for a big function like a family wedding or holiday.  Don’t get me wrong.  It’s fun to have everyone together but it’s always nice to be in a smaller crowd as well!    

We also had a wonderful time at the Yellow River Game Ranch with the Abrahams and Mitchell’s.  Marlie and Lyla are absolutely obsessed with deer so this was so much fun for them. Both girls really seemed to like the bunnies too.  I have so many pictures I could post but I’ll just post my three favorite from the day.  As always, there are a lot more pictures from this trip posted on my Picasa Web Album
