Thursday evening we went to Allie's first t-ball game. That was fun and she is so cute out there on the field! We ran into Chris and Heather and their crew at Redneck afterwards. It was a nice evening to be in downtown Newnan!!!
Friday morning we took off into Atlanta and went to the Aquarium and then then we took the kids home for a nap and Donnie, Cathy and the boys stayed to see the World of Coke. We enjoyed seeing that area of Atlanta and were there just hours before the tornado came through. That evening we enjoyed some La Parilla with Chris and Melanie - in case you haven't noticed it's like we did the mediocre culinary tour of Newnan! We also introduced Donnie and Cathy to Partner's, but did not have pizza.... I think they enjoyed what the saw of the city - I know the boys enjoyed playing XBox on my dad's tv! It was their spring break....
Saturday, Ethan and Nina went with my parents to their church Easter Egg Hunt. They had a great time! Ethan is all into the Easter Bunny this year.....probably because he gets something out of it! He was outside one evening with Poppa and he came inside all excited telling Nona that they saw "runny babbits" with Poppa's huge flashlight. So now he loves going outside to look for runny babbits - although it didn't stay that way long, he has corrected himself and now calls them bunny rabbits!
We had a great time visiting everyone in Georgia and enjoyed getting caught up with old friends! Ethan loved seeing Allie and Avery and this visit was a little interesting because the 2 smaller kids are now in the middle of things - chaos!! We have enjoyed being back home - but not for long....we're going to Chattanooga next weekend to see the Ringling Brothers circus and Ethan is sooooo excited! Then in April, Mark and I are going to Nashville because he is in a wedding and his parents are flying in to keep the kids. Sometime in May we'll probably be back in Georgia for a baby shower for my sister - it's a boy!
I had to begin this post with a few more of our snow pictures that I didn't post before we went out of town. This is how crazy our weather has been - 70 one day and 7 inches of snow 2 days later and then back to 70! Hopefully the warm weather is here to stay!
Ethan and Donnie pulling Mark behind the 4-wheeler.....hope our life insurance policy is up to date!!!
Ethan and Daddy going for a ride in the snow
The snowman - before decoration
Of course I wanted ONE picture of the kids in the snow together - and as you can see neither coorporated! I like this pic though because it almost looks like Ethan thinks that he did something to Nina, but he didn't!
Nina chillin in her ride watching the boys roll the snowman
Multiple uses for a 4 -wheeler!!
Nina on Poppa's desk at the bank
Not gonna get any work done while they are here!
Nina doing tricks for ice cream at Chick-fil A - of course, Poppa was more than happy to give it to her!
Playing in the forsythia outside Nona's school
Mommy and Ethan at the Aquarium
Huge fish!
Ethan was trying to show the fish the card about fish - he also tried to give them his apple juice (just by holding it up to the glass)
Nina enjoyed the Aquarium a LOT more than I thought she would - she loved sitting on Cathy's lap and was trying to have a conversation with the fish
A very serious conversation....
We ran into the gift shop at the World of Coke just to get Ethan a bottle of Coke

Nobles and Millers - not quite sure why we're all looking at Ethan (except Donnie) but I thought this was a funny picture of us!

What a great post. The pictures are all wonderful, but I am cracking up over the one on your dad's desk with both kids. Did you stage that? That is hysterical. I know he loves those visits. Your mom's yard is gorgeous.
