Nashville

So Justin and I took a weekend away and went to Nashville to see the Red Wings play for my birthday gift for last year (I'm okay with waiting) :).


We had an absolute blast!!  I've been before but this was his first time going and he was amazed at the fact that it was 3pm and the bars were packed with people and there was live music coming from every corner.

We started with lunch at the brewery and some sampling of beverages then headed to Tootsies and had a few drinks.  It was a lot of fun knowing how much history was in that building alone.  We stayed there for awhile then headed over to the game.  The Wings won in a shootout!  After the game we found a small bar that had an amazing live band playing and stayed there till closing time.

All in all it was a fantastic weekend!

Inside tootsies at 6pm!

Grandma's 80th Birthday bash!

Justin, Olivia and I flew to Michigan this past weekend to help my family celebrate my Grandmother's 80th Birthday.  She'll actually turn 80 on Tuesday the 16th so this past weekend was perfect for the celebration.  It was a surprise party for her and close to 100 family and friends were there to help her enjoy it.  People flew in from Georgia (us), Washington, Oregon and as far as Africa.  She had no idea and was very shocked and happy to see everyone.

We also enjoyed some time with my immediate family over the weekend, letting them spend some special time with Olivia since they hadn't seen her since she was a month old. 

We'll be back in Michigan for Spring Break so only two short weeks and they'll get a lot more time with her :). 

Olivia's first food!

We went to the Doctor yesterday for Olivia's 4 month check up.  She is 14lbs .4oz, 25.5 in long and growing like a weed!  The doctor said that we can start her on rice cereal and work our way into more solids over the next few months.  She loves the cereal!  Olivia had a hard time with it at first trying to figure out how to coordinate her tongue with lips and such, but once she got the hang of it she was like an old pro. 

He's here!

My dear friend Shaunna, who threw my Georgia baby shower, has welcomed the third member of their lovely family today!  Daniel Fretwell entered the world at 4:45pm weighing in at 7lbs 9oz and 20.5 in.  He is a beautiful, healthy little boy and I cant wait to meet him in person :)

HOUSE

Well we still have to get past the inspection BUT as of now we have a contract on a house!! It's in Lawrenceville so about 35 min drive from Alpharetta where we live now, but it puts us that much closer to Olivia's Grandparents (who also do some babysitting) and her Uncles and Aunt. Family is very important to us and we know that our true friends will still invite us out and come see us all the way out there :) The house is about a mile east of 85 off Hwy 20 (right at the Mall of Georgia). It's perfect for us with 4 bedrooms, 2.5baths, eat in kitchen, formal dining room and living room, informal living room with fireplace, screened in porch and full basement that will be finished soon. Check out some of our pictures!
