Oh, Atlanta...I hear you calling...
Woohoo! Atlanta! One of the big highlights of the trip was riding on both the golf cart and MawMaw's electric wheelchair. You can see a clip of that here. MawMaw even braved it and got up on the golf cart. Who can resist a ride with the Tennessee Tornado?It must have done her good; look at that big smile!Daddy trimmed the bushes and found three bird's nest, which gave us a little homeschooling opportunity of sorts.We all went for a fun swim after Daddy finished working. This was Haven's last time to be left alone on a table by the pool. Our sweet girl is growing up and moving more.Elijah had a great time swimming and playing peek-a-boo.Haven liked the water as long as someone would hold her.Oh, and Bella and Ab were there too! It was so, so fun to see them! Uncle Dwight was, as usual, a fabulous Uncle - playing with those kiddos right and left!Elijah made his own desk at the coffee table. He found a little calculator (which he was later given) and started typing on it in his office.Uncle Dwight and several others were kind enough to read The Cow Who Fell in the Canal over and over again.Eric was sure to squeeze in some Bella time before he headed back to Nashville.MawMaw showed off her fancy new chair which lifts her straight up into a standing position.We visited a park with Daddy just before a huge rainstorm. Abigail took a few pictures for us.Cousin James came to visit and played with Elijah. I think he was slightly unprepared for Elijah's "Mooooorrrrreeee?!?!?"Our friends Angie, Lauren, and Garrett came to swim with us. Garrett was especially sweet to share all his fun pool toys.Bella shared her Johnny-Jump-Up with Haven. Haven's first experience with this toy was a huge success. She loved it!Sharing is hard work; Bella's appetite was in high gear for her first taste of apples. (Thanks for the lesson in peeling, Uncle Dennis!)Elijah loves Cousin Bella!Look at these three beautiful generations! Thanks for treating us to Chick-fil-A MawMaw! Aunt Donna was super helpful at watching the babies -oooh, two at once!OK, the highlight of the trip was certainly the singing. Elijah just started doing shows for everyone. He would use PawPaw's stocking helper or the butter churn as his microphone. A little pocket New Testament was his song book. As these are plentiful at PawPaw's, Elijah passed them out to the Uncle's, requesting they sing along.Sing along they did! Uncle Dennis hit it with a super fat microphone. When his voice gave out, Uncle Dwight took up the song. Due to Elijah's insistence, the trio reunited and performed yet again. It was...amazing!PawPaw was a big hit with the girls. Bella loved him!And we love all of you! Thanks for such a wonderful visit. We miss you all!
