Are we ever going to get sidewalks?

After almost 2 years of back and forth...we finally are getting closer to getting sidewalks.  However, we're still not there yet.  They've torn up our front yard...but no grading has been done yet.  Someday, someday...

Thanks Bobby...

After 20+ years as the beloved Atlanta Braves Manager, we finally bid adieu to the only manager most of us have ever really known, Bobby Cox.  If you grew up in the South in the 80's and 90's, you grew up an Atlanta Braves fan.  And by default, you grew up loving the Skipper.  His constant backing of his players, his rants with Umps, the always interesting, and sometimes befuddling, postseason decisions.  It's been a helluva 20 years, no doubt. 

Bobby led us to 14 division titles, and one World Championship.  Sure, there should have been more, and Bobby is in part to blame for that, but you can't discredit the man's desire to win, love for his team and the Atlanta Braves.  He has helped take our franchise from the doldrums of baseball, to the most popular team in the country not named the Yankees or the Sox.  These last 20 years have brought about many, many great times, and certainly a lot of heartache, but that's what sports do.   

We'll miss you #6...

Two year old!

 Hard to believe but two years ago today, our little lady bug was born! While the last two years have gone by so fast, it's hard to imagine that there was a time that she wasn't around! Emilie is growing like a weed, learning new things every day, and is constantly making us smile. We had such a good time over the last week celebrating her birthday. A fun trip to Burts Pumpkin Farm over the weekend, a birthday breakfast celebration this morning, and a fun party at her school with all of the other October birthdays in her class. Our little girl was worn out by bedtime tonight, but still had enough energy to give us a sweet "Night, night- I love you" before she fell asleep. Happy 2nd Birthday Emilie!

Our GT girl



 Emilie has gotten much more excited about Georgia Tech and football this year! She loves to hollar "football" whenever there is a game on TV and even does a little hollering and cheering at the TV like her daddy. We've take her to one game so far and she seemed to enjoy it. I think her favorite thing was trying to spot "Buzzzz" wherever he went around the stadium.

Ready for game day!

A trip to Highlands

A few weeks back, we decided to take a short Saturday night trip to Highlands, NC since we were going to Bailey Brackett's birthday party up in Clarkesville the following day. We had a great time, went on a hike, stayed at the historic Highlands Inn, and had some good pizza and delicious dessert on the porch at the Inn that evening. Emilie had a blast up there watching all of the cars drive down Main Street and waving to them!

Happy girl w/ her daddy
