In Summary

Well it is most definately time for a new post. We try to be more up to date, and I even think at times that I will blog about a particular thing, but then when I don't I want to catch up and it gets so overwhelming with all of the things that I would like to blog about....Now I am sitting here after a month and a half and I can't seem to remember anything that I wanted to say.

Hmmm, here are some of the pics I took in the last little while, hopefully this will jog my memory.

This picture is from the Faith Hill Tim McGraw concert that Matt and I went to. I took this picture for a few reasons. FIRST OF ALL, just because your famous doesn't mean that you can wear a unitard. She was wearing a ONEPIECE white outfit, it was NOT flattering. Ummm hello, isn't there someone whose entire job it is to pick out outfits for her to wear. AND she didn't do a costume change, SHE JUST KEPT WEARING IT. WHAT??? Then, in this picture you will notice that there are two people on stage, Faith and oh wait, what's that guys name that is NOT Tim. It seems as though all of their family and friends live here in Atlanta. Faith was talking to her brother and a bunch of her friends during the concert, which is FINE, but then she called this dude up on stage with her to sing...what a way to ruin the song. I guess he is some friend of hers from Atlanta, first of all he is a shrimp (see the photo) and HE CAN'T SING. To say the least the concert was good, not great, but good. Tim was MUCH better than Faith, which I was surprised by because I really like her...hmmm. Anyways, moving on.

I had two baby showers this month. These are some pictures from one of them. That cake was cute and also totally delicious!! Both showers were very fun and the baby got a TON of stuff. We still haven't unpacked all of it, as we are still trying to figure out where to put it all even though it is weeks later.



This picture is taken a week later after we had put tons of stuff away...as you can see we are still struggling to get everything put away. The funniest story is this. My boss gave us this very fancy stroller, it does everything. It has all of these features and it comes with a 44 page instruction manual and a DVD on how to use it....She put it together and gave it to me assembled, so I made Matt bring it in assembled because I didn't know how to fold it down and obviously we wanted to bring it inside. Well lets just say that during the course of trying to learn how to fold it down, I learned how to adjust the suspension, inflate the tires, change position of the handlebar and extend the handlebar....but I still couldn't collapse the thing. FINALLY, after reading almost the entire manual and watching the DVD, I figure it out. In my defense the manual begins assuming that the stroller isn't already put together, so I don't think I am a total idiot. My boss also gave us almost all of the accessories that you can get, they each come with their own manual...haven't read any of those yet. The manual also encourages you to practice each feature so that you will easily be able to do it when the time comes. Seems as though I need more practice because when I tried to show John how it works (I knew he would like it, as it is an engineering masterpiece) I was unable to get it from collapsed to open. How embarrassing. He wanted to help me, but we both figured that I should be able to do it on my own. I finally got it and this time it only took a minute or two, but I will be practicing more...

Not too much else is going on, yesterday John and Lindy and Anya came over as well as my parents and Sara. We were doing some work on the baby's room and John and Lindy somehow were roped into helping, they really came up to have lunch with us but we put them to work. We also had Anya take some of the toys for a test drive. She seems to like them and played with them for a fair amount of time...hopefully we will be so lucky with our own child.

We ate lunch at Carribean Feista, this is Sara's FAVORITE restuarant and it is authentic...which is code for kind of weird food. They serve ox tail soup and other delights. The food is really spicy, it isn't toned down for American's. Lindy enjoyed some goat, which the guy sold to her as lamb, but after we realized he probably didn't know what mutton meant. I didn't eat any of the food because it was a little too spicy for me right now...so if you want a review you'll have to wait and hope that John and Lindy post one, or possibly Sara but she loves that place so her review may be biased. We did think that our cousin JASON should come a visit us and that we would take him there...this is a hint to Jason and Shannon to bring their cute daughter with them and come and visit us...we will make it a fun trip!

Well this blog is long enough, it makes up for the few that I have been missing though. I will try to post again soon, but I make no promises!
