We've just returned from visiting some family in Atlanta, Georgia. Deidre's cousin, Tami, lives there with her family. (Shelby was the flower girl in Tami's daughter Amber's wedding last year.) We were there from Thursday afternoon to Monday morning and boy did we have fun! Thursday night, Amber and Kevin came over for supper. Shelby was especially glad to see them! (Channing and Deidre were too!) Friday, while everyone else was at work, the three of us went to the Georgia Aquarium. What an amazing place! Friday night we had dinner at Amber and Kevin's apartment. Kevin pulled out his guitar and played a little Johnny Cash. Shelby sang "The Ring of Fire" with him and even tried playing his guitar a little bit! Saturday, after spending over an hour in Downtown Atlanta traffic, the three of us met our friends Travis and Annie Smith and their kids at a fun Atlanta restaurant called The Varsity. That night we went to Stone Mountain with Kevin, Amber, and Nina (Amber's sister). There was a wonderful laser show, but Shelby did NOT like the lasers, fireworks, and loud music. We won't be doing anything like that again! Deidre and Channing did get to enjoy the show, however, because Amber held Shelby and covered her ears for us. (Thanks, Amber!) Sunday was spent at church, hanging out at the house, and taking a LONG nap! We were up Monday morning by 5:00 and had left Tami's house by 6:00. We had a wonderful time, but were very glad to be home!
Thanks, guys, for a great weekend! It was so good to see all of you!

Justin's Visit from Colorado
My nephew Justin is visiting from Colorado for a little over a week. Shelby and I made a quick trip to see him at my sister's house. I hadn't seen Justin in almost a year, and boy was good to see him! Shelby loved being with him too. He seemed to enjoy having her around too! While I was there, Morgan talked me into playing Wii Tennis with him. I quickly learned why he wanted to play that rather than Wii Bowling...He kicked my tail! I redeemed myself by beating him at Wii Bowling before it was time to go back to my parents' house for bed! Justin hopes to come home for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas this year. We weren't able to see him for either holidays last year or in 2006 since his was deployed then. He is supposed to be going back overseas sometime next year.
