Gramma & Grampa's Visit

It was great to have Gramma and Grampa Johnson come visit in October! We were so excited to see them and show them our new home. The fall in Georgia is beautiful. There are so many trees everywhere so when the leaves change colors it is an amazing sight to see. We rode the Marta Train to the airport to get our visitors. (mine and Lily's first time) We had such a great weekend. We visited downtown, checked out the scenery, picked out Lily's Tinkerbell costume, and watched Gramma cruise 180 mph around Atlanta Motor Speedway! But most of all we just loved being together!

 

Lillian 8 months

It is amazing watching Lily grow. She is definitely developing her own likes and dislikes. Last month she signed "milk" for the first time and began crawling. With these two abilities under her belt the world is hers! She loves to swing, be outside, laugh, make others laugh, stand up next to everything and get into everything. She also loves to jump and spin in her jumper. Her personality is starting to shine through more and more. I love these pictures because they capture so much of the joy she makes us feel everyday.

Lily's first hair barrett!

 She's so sweet to cuddle with at the end of the day.

A Dream Come True

A lot of my memories growing up have to do with baseball. So I have become a huge fan. My brother Lance and I spent a lot of afternoons and evenings watching the Braves! They played on a local channel so we were able to watch almost every game. Chipper Jones was my favorite player. Many times I had to defend my good taste to the crazies who were fond of the Yankees. So I was so excited when we were offered a job in Atlanta! Going to a game was the first thing we did after getting settled. It truly was a dream come true!

Georgia Aquarium

 In September we were able to visit the world's largest aquarium! It has over 120,000 animals! Lily loved all of it! Our favorite was the Beluga Whales exhibit ! They were by far the friendliest and most exciting animals to watch. They would actually swim all the way up to the glass and rub there backs on it. Lily was totally in awe! Her eyes were SO big! We had such a great time. It was a great way to get feeling more at home in Atlanta!
