Atlanta Zoo

Jeremy had work in Atlanta, so we made a mini getaway out of a beautiful February weekend.  Somehow the weather was like spring.  We enjoyed seeing a new zoo and enjoying time away from home as a family!  Our children loved the animals!!   

Greer brushing the goats.  

This was such a neat area for the children to play. 

Mary Harper was not so sure about this

"I think I can, I think I can!"

Thank you to one of the secretaries at Georgia Power for sharing these tickets with us!  

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning in Atlanta.  

Barret Comes to Visit

Jessica and Barret came to visit us.  Greer was more than thrilled to have his buddy come play for the weekend.  Barrett brought Greer this balloon toy and the boys played with it all weekend.  They eventually resorted to just playing with balloons.  Such cheap thrills at this age.  It was so nice and refreshing to spend the weekend with one of my dearest friends from college.  We talk and text all the time, but quality face time can't be beat!  I love that our boys are only a few weeks apart in age.  I miss her so much and am so thankful she drove to come see us!

Silly girl!

I don't know how their heads weren't hurting.  

They each had a balloon in their hand all weekend, unless they were asleep.  

Movie time...we watched Sleeping Beauty.

Until next time!  We miss you Barrett and Jessica!!  

Thank you for coming to visit.  

Grandma Collins

Jeremy's Grandmother Collins passed away on January 14, 2015...just two short days after MeeMaw.  Such a trying time for Jeremy's mom and dad.  It literally happened within the same week.  Grandma Collins was one of the funniest ladies I think I have ever known!  She kept us in stitches most all of the time!  Her funniest story still remains the one where she talks about her husband being in heaven doing "hanky panky" with the angels.  It is way funnier in her authentic German accent.  She always had a smile on her face and an honest response to anything you asked her.  She made the world a brighter place and I feel blessed to have known her.  We went to Ozark to celebrate her life.   There was a sweet ceremony held at a small Catholic church in town.  We were able to see lots of family we do not get to see very often...Steven, Amy, Courtney, Debbie, Gordon, Andre, and of course Uncle Josh...we missed Aunt Aimee!!  Greer had so much fun playing in the yard with all the boys!
