Visit with the T's

For Memorial Day weekend, we went to Atlanta to visit with Damien's sister and her family. I call them the T's as they have names that start with T's first and last. Their names are Troy, Tracy, Taryn and Taylor.  We left for Atlanta bright and early on Saturday morning, like at 6am, so that Dylan would go back to sleep. He did eventually and then we ate breakfast right outside of Chattanooga. Then once back in the car, Dylan watched 2 baby einstein DVDs. I was really impressed how well he did in the car, oh and we borrowed my mom's car seat so that Dylan could be turned around. (We are still waiting on ours to arrive.)

Dylan kicked back in his seat
Once there, Taylor and Dylan played and played. She wanted to know when her cousin was going to be awake so she could play with him. I just loved seeing them play together. 

We really didn't have an agenda when we went, so it was a lazy weekend. We did get out on Sunday to go to church. I loved the worship and teaching at their church. Dylan seemed to love his class. When I went to pick him up, him and another boy were sitting in the floor playing with a toy. Afterwards, we went to lunch at Sweet Tomato. It's my favorite place to eat in Atlanta, I don't know why, but I just love it. That was my only request for the weekend. Dylan ate really well. Lots of beets, mac and cheese, pizza, grapes and a few peas.

We even had a fun night of hula hooping. Funny as adults, we loose are ability to move our hips, but Damien seemed to be happy at his small little feat when he had it going for 5 seconds.  Here's some video of Taylor and Dylan playing and Damien's small feat (he's going to kill me).

Did you see my status update? We went to Sweet Tomatoes this weekend too. I'd totally been craving it and we hadn't been since we moved here - over 2 years!
Glad you guys had a great time. Looks like lotsa laughs and great visits.
