An Insane 3 weeks!
If you have been wondering why you haven't seen or heard from me for the past month, it is because it has been CRAZY! We went from Atlanta/Ila/Athens to Chattanooga to Nashville back to Atlanta and Ila so Bree could see it, then to Chattanooga, back to Nashville to fly to Phoenix, drove to Yuma, to Mexico, and back to Phoenix and finally home this Tuesday! All in 3 weeks!
Brooklyn was a total trooper, and our prayers were answered that she was able to stay healthy and strong! She also had a lot of firsts these past weeks. She's is still growing like crazy and is a whopping 20 pounds at 6 months, is sitting up, rolling every which way and is basically able to get to anything she wants and put it in her mouth - which also proves that only the power of prayer could have kept her from getting sick! She went on the swing for the first time, went to a lot of new places and is now eating foods like rice cereal, oatmeal and sweet potato - though she hates it - more blogging to come on that!
My Mom and Dad came into Atlanta the first week of March and I picked them up in Atlanta and we went to D-Daddy and Nana's. We got the grand tour of Athens and even went to Georgia State's tennis courts for Dad. DDaddy and Dad were already planning for Brooklyn's college tennis career there. and Ila and ate until we were about to burst from Pecan Pie, Zeb's BBQ, mayonnaise potatoes and many other southern delicacies! (All this was already blogged 2 weeks ago.)
We returned a week later with Breezy (Minus my mom and with Trey).
Some 4 generation photos! Brooklyn's got good genes, she has 5 great-grandparents!
Nana gave us some Mandolin lessons - we learned Old Joe Clark and other great songs!

We then came back to Chattanooga for a day for church and Sunday at the Fridays then picked Bree up in Nashville and spend 2 1/2 days there. We went to the Bluebird Cafe (my Nasvhille recommendation), to the Country Music Hall of Fame, to several other music clubs and even to the Belle Meade plantation. My parents are such a blast to travel with because they are interested in and enthusiastic about everything! It took us 6 hours to get back from Nashville (a 2 hour drive) because Dad wanted to stop at every site on the way - even the Jack Danielle's Distilleries when he doesn't even drink!
From Nashville, we went back to Chattanooga for another day and did some sight seeing here, walked around downtown, had some sushi, showed them the expensive homes on the river etc. then headed back to D-Daddy and Nana's for a day so that Bree could meet them and have the "True" southern experience of Ila. They took us to the oldest covered bridge in Georgia and to a fun antique place on the side of the road in a tiny town near them.
Finally, we went to tChatanooga for church and Monday drove to Nashville where Dad flew to Calgary, Bree flew to Salt Lake and Trey, Brooklyn and I flew to Phoenix!!
More blogging to come on those adventures!!!
