Are we there yet…

Saturday was one of those rare mornings where everything feel in place. The day started early. Real early. Like many in Atlanta, we were anxious to take advantage of the free H1N1 vaccines offered by our local health department.

Around 5 am that morning, G headed out to wait in line. Thanks to his effort, he was fifth in line when MR and I arrived an hour later. Doors opened at 7 am and we were in and out in about 45 minutes. 

MR got both the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines. I got a seasonal as well. Neither of us cried so we celebrated with a breakfast for three at a local cafe and a trip to the nearby fall festival.

After lunch, we packed the car and headed to the North Georgia mountains to spend the night with Meme and Papa. This was MR’s very first trip to North Georgia and though we were by no means roughing it, I think we have a little mountain girl on our hands. For one solid day, there was no talk about her bracelets, purse, makeup, or credit card. Instead, our time was spent exploring the woods, playing in the leaves, and picking flowers.

This picture was taken around 6:30 am Saturday morning. The line nearly tripled when we exited an hour and a half later.

Fall Festival

MR’s first trip to the North Georgia Mountains

Our original plan was to leave these two behind for a few days of rest and relaxation at the beach.

But, when MR overheard what we were up to, she immediately ran to her room, grabbed her swimmies and bathing suit, and exclaimed, “Reese’s ready”.

Needless to say, she won. Thanks to Julie and Bill, Sadie got to spend the weekend with Reagan. All in all, it was a win win for everyone involved.

Our time spent in Fernandina was fabulous. Friday’s temperatures allowed MR and I to spend the majority of the day on the beach. And a cold front on Saturday was the perfect incentive to finish up a few more holiday shirts for Petey Pie’s Christmas line. Fort Clinch provided an awesome landscape for the photo shoot.

Petey Pie’s Christmas line will be out soon…here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come! I’ll be adding a few holdiay shirts for boys as well, so please check my etsy shop often!

We said goodbye to the beach on Sunday, but not before spending a little time with Danny. She was kind enough to make the ride down to join us for lunch. A big thank you to my sweet husband for making the weekend so memorable!

Believe it or not (most of you will), I am still not caught up on my  blog.  And since the abundance of rain and lack of coffee have hendered my creativity, I’m just going to jump right in…

Two weeks ago, we packed up and headed to Athens to cheer on the dawgs as they took on the LSU tigers. The game would become Georgia’s second loss. If it hadn’t have been for a great tailgate with friends and family and a wonderful home cooked meal at my parents on Sunday, I may have written the dawgs off for good. Yes, I know. I am a fair weather fan who prefers to watch a loss on tv rather than out in public. I’m working on it and hoping  that the dawgs can redeem themselves in the games to come.

I’m also working on grasping the fact that I will be 30 in a few days. Thanks to my sweet husband, I’ll have the luxury of working on that at the beach. We’ll be back on Sunday with more pictures and tales from our weekend.

I also want to wish a big happy birthday to my mom and sister! Our birthdays are two days apart from each other. Love you both and hope this birthday brings many, many blessings!

These sweet cousins cannot get enough of each other!

Now that Im caught up on this,

and semi-decorated for the fall,

I can concentrate on my favorite little pumpkin, who has been very busy since my last post. Last Thursday started out with bible study at church, a visit to the pumpkin patch with Hendley and Boss, and a trip to the North Georgia fair money pit. Who knew that a trip to the fair could cost almost as much as a dinner for two at a fancy steakhouse? Thankfully, the trip was well worth the hurt that it put on our wallet…
