London festivities!

September 12, 2018

On Friday night, the bride (who is Indian) and groom hosted an Indian blessing ceremony and Sangeet. My friends and I decided at the last minute to dress in traditional Indian dress and I’m so glad we did! What fun!! I got my outfit in on an adventurous one day trip with my mom to visit the Global Mall – an all Indian mall right outside of Atlanta. Who knew?! I couldn’t convince Robert to wear traditional dress but he did get a bright new tie. I’ll take it!

It was fantastic seeing all of the guests dressed in their Indian finery. Lots of bright colors and beautiful fabrics!

The blessing ceremony was just lovely. It started with the bride and groom feeding each other cake so they will always be “sweet” to each other. How sweet indeed!

After the ceremony it was party time – and they knew how to party! Fantastic food, great music, even Henna!

Flag Football fun

September 10, 2018

We had Maxwell’s 8th birthday party this past weekend and it was a huge hit! My football crew was ready to go – cheerleader included!

Of course GJ was there and so were Susan and Barry!

He decided he wanted to have a flag football party so we got the coaches from one of the local elementary flag footballs organizations and they were SO awesome! We had about 36 (!!) boys and those coaches kept them completely organized, entertained, and in control! All of the boys met on the field and they divided into four groups and then rotated through different stations – throwing, kicking, running, accuracy.

Spencer was out there with all the big kids (and one other little brother!) and completely held his own!

Of course our cheerleader was keeping everyone entertained.

After doing all the stations they then broke up into two games – Spencer and Maxwell were playing against each other! ha!

After that it was time for cake!

Lake Life

September 7, 2018

Over the Labor Day weekend we were lucky enough to get to go to Lake Martin with some friends. They have 2 girls similar ages to our kids and everyone got along great. These are the same friends we went to the beach with last year! It was just the very best, most BEAUTIFUL weekend on the lake! Boating, tubing, catching minnows, swimming, floating, good time with friends…does not get better than that!! Lots of pics…
