The pictures are of Andy and Maggie's trip to the Fernbank Museum last weekend while I was out of town for work. Also, pictures of Maggie helping me plant pansies and our walk down to the river behind our house yesterday afternoon.

Fall in Atlanta
This is mostly pictures and TWO videos (yes, I know it's been a while since we've done a video so here are two to make up for that fact).
The pictures are of Andy and Maggie's trip to the Fernbank Museum last weekend while I was out of town for work. Also, pictures of Maggie helping me plant pansies and our walk down to the river behind our house yesterday afternoon.

How many M&M's are in the jar?
If Andy and I put one M&M a day in a jar since we were married, how many would we have now? 2194.
We put the 2190th in the jar (figuratively) on Saturday when we celebrated our 6th anniversary.
Gran came in town on Friday evening to spend some time with Maggie, thus, allowing Andy and I to have our anniversary dinner without a 2 ½ year old. We went to Canoe, which was recommended by a friend and it was great. The food was really good, but what was even better was the service. The waitress greeted us by our names and we were presented with a complimentary dessert on a plate where ‘Happy Anniversary’ was written in chocolate. Yummy. So, if you are ever in search of a great restaurant in Atlanta, go to Canoe.
Before dinner on Saturday, we all went to one of the children’s playgrounds at Stone Mountain Park. Gigi introduced Maggie to this particular playground and Maggie LOVES it. It helps that there is a rather large sand pit that Maggie stayed in almost the whole time. The weather was so nice and it was nice to be at a park where you can sit in the grass in the shade of a tree instead of a park that is made of concrete and fake trees.
Anyway, Gran had to leave to go back to MS on Sunday and Maggie was sad. Thanks again for coming Gran.

Maggie Sees Atlanta
(Note: Since I have gotten behind on posting again, there is a new post below this one)
As you read previously, Maggie was lucky enough to get to see her Gigi last week. And what did Maggie and Gigi do all week? They played.
Wednesday’s activity was the Georgia Aquarium. To say that Maggie enjoyed it would be an understatement. Maggie made Gigi and Aunt Natalie stay at the aquarium for almost 5 hours!!!!!! Maggie came home with a shirt from the gift shop that she can name all the animals on. They had a great time and Maggie wants to take Gran there this weekend.
Gigi also let Maggie have a lot of time playing at the park, Stone Mountain Park, to be exact. The pictures say it all. Yesterday, we were driving to the mall and had to pass by Stone Mountain. Maggie had yet to see the exit sign off the highway, but seeing the actual mountain was enough for her to realize where she was. She started saying “park, park, park!”
So, what did I do with Maggie as soon as fun-Gigi leaves? I (no-fun Mommy) took Maggie to the doctor. Maggie had developed a cough mid-week but it hadn’t really bothered her. I decided that she needed to go ahead and go to the doctor just in case it was something else. It was just a cold and Maggie went to school. About 4 hours later, I get a call from the school letting me know that Maggie had been crying for about 2 hours and they hadn’t been able to get her to calm down. I went to pick her up immediately, but the crying didn’t stop. To sum the story up, after talking to a nurse, a physician’s assistant, and the doctor, we had to take Maggie back to the doctor. She had an ear infection and started feeling much better on Saturday.
However, the cold-bug traveled from Maggie to me to Andy, so it was a crazy weekend at our house.
Andy and I celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. Gran is coming in town to stay with Maggie so Andy and I can go out on Saturday. I think we are also going to go to the pumpkin farm in north Georgia this weekend too.
Here are the pictures from Maggie’s playdates with Gigi.

Cabin Weekend 2007
One bag of Dum Dum suckers for the car ride to Mississippi. $2.99 at Kroger
One twin-size air mattress for Maggie’s sleeping pleasure. $17.99 at Target
One plastic egg with a gummy worm inside. $0.25 from the clucking chicken at the Sunflower grocery in Tishomingo, MS
Fourteen adults and eight kids enjoying Cabin Weekend 2007. Priceless
That about sums what we did this weekend up. Maggie thoroughly enjoyed herself this weekend at our annual cabin weekend. This was our fifth year (I think) to get together with our group of friends in north MS. The first time we did it, we had all just gotten married or were about to be married. The next time, we brought the dogs. After that, the babies came along and now the oldest of the kids is 3 ½. The kids had a great time playing together and were pretty well-behaved. They pretty much played in the dirt, blew bubbles and ran from one end of the cabin to the other for 36 hours. We were all joking that in another 10-12 years, the kids will all be sneaking off together and making all the parents worry. That is after they make fun of us being old and embarrassing!
We had to bring Cabin Weekend 2007 to a close on Sunday morning to head back to Georgia. We were able to quickly meet up with Meme, Uncle Brad, Aunt Cathy, Ann and David for breakfast on our way home and Maggie enjoying seeing her family.
Our week is going well. Maggie is playing hooky from school today to go to the Georgia Aquarium with Gigi and Aunt Natalie (my aunt who lives in Newnan, GA). Gigi is in town for two conferences (one for work and one for church) and had a break today so Maggie is getting her Gigi-time. More pictures of Maggie and Gigi’s adventures to come soon.
