This morning, as I was laying in bed, I had a great idea for an interesting post, yet, as I sit here and type, nothing is coming to mind. Disappointing.
Little man was sick for a couple of days this week. Actually, he just had a low-grade fever. I think he was fighting something off. Anyway, it did give me the chance to spend more time with him!
Right now, we're gearing up for college football season- very excited!

Today marks what would have been my mother's 66th birthday. Kind of crazy. Happy Birthday mom, just know that Gavin and I will be enjoying a little cupcake in your name tonight.
Jeff heads off to Dallas this afternoon. His grandmother died about 4 months ago and the family is just now holding the Memorial service. Can I ask? Is this normal? Anyway, he's going to see family he hasn't seen in almost 25 years! I can't imagine that...I mean, I guess I can, I haven't seen my uncle that lives in Boston in about 7 years. I'd like to think that sometime between now and the next 17 years, I'll get up there to see him and his family.
Lucky Jeff might go to the home opener for the Dallas Cowboys tonight. Wait, is it the home opener? I'll have to check that, I don't think it is, WAY too early. Regardless, a preseason game is fun too!
Gavin and I are going to be little social butterflies this weekend. Tonight, we're having dinner with Mercedes and her clan at Everybody's Pizza. Yum! Tomorrow morning, we're heading to Piedmont Park for a little jaunt with Andy and Rashid. And tomorrow night, we're having birthday ice cream with Aba and Abo (a.k.a. Tim and Mary Lee). Fun! At some point, I'd love to make it over to the pool, especially before they shutter the doors for the season, but not sure that's going to happen!

Had a really nice weekend! Saturday, we went over to the Audubon house to take a look at the backyard. Man, she hasn't done anything to it in 2 years! It was a jungle way in the back, you couldn't even see the greenhouse! So, Jeff and Miguel cleared away about 75% of it to clean it up. There are tons of plants back there (hostas, ferns, Rhodos, Azaleas) that we can transport over to Grand Prix. That will save us a ton in $ for plants!
The deck needs some work, but I'm hoping it's nothing more than replacing the decking...not the whole thing (keep your fingers crossed for us!).
At home, we finally planted new plants in the ground (after a year and a half)! We have a garden bed right in front of the house that we put in some annuals (for a little color) and I planted herbs in some pots. I figured the colder weather is around the corner, so I might as well keep the herbs in a transportable state!
Gavin had so much fun helping us! He loves to play in the dirt. It just made Jeff and I realize how much we need to get the backyard cleared out more so he can go outside and play with no worries (well...not completely without worry!!!).
Speaking of the little man, he got up at about 2:30am last night. I love those middle-of-the-night wake up calls!!! Feeling a little sleepy today....

Thankfully, today is Friday. We're going over to the old house tomorrow to start cleaning up the yard, which needs a little TLC. My dad and Deb are coming down to hang out with Gavin while Jeff and I go over there. Looking forward to the visit, I think they are staying overnight.
Last night, hung out with a bunch of the gals and had a few drinky-poos. Had so much fun! It was a birthday celebration for one of my friends- her 30th!!! Ahhhh...30...welcome to the 3rd Floor Fanny!
Speaking of b-days, today would have been my grandfather's b-day. Totally miss him. He was the granddaddy that everyone had so much fun with! He'd pick up a pinecone and use leaves and berries to make it into a makeshift owl. He got a kick out of teasing squirrels and watching them try to get to food that he'd booby trapped with obstacles. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't trying to hurt them, just make them work for the food!
So, Happy Birthday Granddaddy! I miss you!

Everything's going well in the Stevenson household. Gavin starts a new classroom next week. We're still working on the whole potty training thing- still not fun! He's almost got it, but #2 gives him trouble. He'll get it, right? It's not like he'll go off to college wearing a Pull Up at night!!!
In other news, Jeff is moving forward with his real estate gig- so excited! He's about to get his first listing, his 2nd will be my old house on Audubon. Now, part of me will be sad to see it go, the other part of me is like "good riddance!"
We finally went back to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens over the weekend. Yes folks, it had been a year. We had such a great time, then wondered why we'd let a year pass!!! We'll probably try to go again over the next couple of weeks. We'll see if we actually make it!
