On a last minute change of plans, we decided to go down to Georgia to visit Mimi and Grandy this past weekend for the holiday. We were originally planning to go this coming weekend but neither of us were thinking about Memorial day and we thought we could spend the extra day down there by the pool. So Saturday morning we packed up, which by the way is not nearly as easy as it used to be, and headed for Carrollton, GA. This was Sam’s first time to lounge by the pool so we stopped by Target to pick up a swimsuit for him, but apparently they don’t make swimsuits that small, so he just got a pair of cool red shorts. He got to wear his super-cool shades too.

“yeah, i’m cool. yeah, i have a pacifier. you got a problem with it?”

We forgot to bring Sam’s bathtub with us so we had to get creative and Grandy had a good idea. They had a nice plastic dog kennel that had never been used so we took the top off and set it in the sink, and it worked perfectly. Sam loved it, he’s a fan of bathtime.

“careful there, lady. you’re walking on thin ice here.”

We were there until Tuesday morning, so we got to spend some good time with Mimi and Grandy, and we got to see Emily and John a couple of times too, so that was fun. It was a nice relaxing weekend and now we won’t need to travel this coming weekend, so I will plan on finishing off some projects around the house to get us completely settled. Nana and Papa are coming tomorrow for a couple of days, and they’re bringing Graham home. They will also have Emma with them so it should be a fun weekend. Talk to you more later.

“what’s the big deal about this sitting-up stuff? seems pretty easy to me.”

“tummy time is fun for a little while, but I’m about to let you know that I’m tired of it.”
