Kaly

While I was in Tennessee, the band was scheduled to sing the national anthem at the Falcons game so our sweet nanny, Kaly, came over to play with the girls on Sunday.

She decided to take them to East Cobb Park for some fun.  

And of course brought her dog Olly along.  Railey and Maysie are obsessed with this dog....she brings him over whenever she can.

We love you Kaly!

Camp Helen

This weekend we headed to Rock Island to celebrate Deana's 40th birthday.  We happily traded our usual dinner and drinks for a relaxed weekend at Camp Helen, the Levine's river house.

The farm up the street from the river house made Goat Island look boring.  Not only were there goats, but also alpacas, a camel and the sweetest dog named Buck.

Josephine, aka Baby

Day Two we decided to go explore Fall Creek Falls.  Complete with a suspension bridge...four of us decided to cross it.  Probably not the smartest decision of the weekend considering that as we walked on the bridge, we noticed duct tape at some of the joints.

And then it was off to the Foglight Foodhouse for a nice dinner.  We should have known it would get a little crazy when we popped the bottle of Dom while waiting for our table.  After meeting some new crazy friends at the next table and having a sing off, the staff told all of us that they had been closed for 1 hour and we needed to leave.

We love you Deana!  Here's to 40 more years of friendship!

Let the Rumors Begin

Everyday in Railey's class, the teacher gives them a word of the day.  They then have four tasks:  1) write the word as you think it is spelled  2) Write the word with the correct spelling  3) Make up a sentence using this word (they have to spell all words on their own) and 4) Copy a sentence using the word that was written by the teacher.

I couldn't help but share the assignments Railey has brought home the past two days....the sentences she comes up with are PRICELESS!

"My Dad is a king because we treat him like a king"

"My Dad sing and at the Zac Brown Band"

I wonder just how many people she has told that her Dad sings with the Zac Brown Band!

The Girls

With all of the parties over the holidays, I actually managed to get a couple of shots of my favorite girls!

Railey and the ITouch

Railey's favorite part of her new ITouch is texting!  I think I am getting a glimpse of ten years from now....

From our next door neighbor Jake

Ummm....what?
