This weekend our good friends Chastin & LeAnna came for a visit from Knoxville. We went to Lindsey Morgan’s great restaurant South City Grill in Thomaston on Friday night. On Saturday we made LeAnna’s weekend by spending FOUR hours in IKEA! We tried to get reservations at the last minute in Buckhead for dinner, but had no luck, so we just went to Lenox Square and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. Sunday we ate bison burgers at Ted’s. Wow – I talk way too much about food. Anyways, the real reason you’re visiting the blog is to see more photos, so here ya go:

Believe it or not, Emma Kate had another baby shower. It was originally scheduled for the week that Alison ended up going into the hospital. Thanks to all of the people at Sara Harp Minter Elementary for the great gifts and money. They are very much appreciated.

SHMES Baby Shower

On Wednesday Donette (my brother’s wife) and her son Jadon drove in from Columbia, SC to spend a few days. It was Jadon’s first time meeting his cousin Emma Kate. Alison, Donette, Jadon, and EK has a great time hanging out while I was at work. On Friday they met at my office and we all went to the airport to pick up Jay (my brother) who was flying in from a Portland business trip. From the airport we drove to Marietta to eat at Pappasito’s. It is a delicious Mexican restaurant! Emma Kate was an angel. I fed her while we were there and Alison held up during much of the meal. EK just looked around staring at every thing. I think she loves getting out and seeing new things.

The 1.5-2 hour ride home wasn’t quite as enjoyable. EK showed off her healthy lungs and vocal chords, while Jay and Donette tried their hardest to soothe her. No such luck!

I do have a few photos of Jadon’s visit, but I don’t have them ready to upload yet. I’ll add them soon!

UPDATE – finally some photos:
