What d'ya have?

In Athens, there are SO many homegrown restaurants - simply too many to try. Since Saturday was in all intensive purposes the beginning of College Football (yeah!) I thought it would be fun to go and have lunch at The Varsity.

The Varsity is this old place that is famous in Atlanta (and I guess Athens too.) When you place your order they first ask you "What d'ya have... What d'ya have..." You tell them your order then the cashier yells it back to the kitchen in some language you've never heard before. Something about naked dogs... onions... straws.... nevertheless, we received our order perfectly. It was a fun outing. We found out that Andrew LOVES Vanilla Milkshakes (come one, who wouldn't?) We'd give him a bit, he'd swallow it, get a BIG smile and giggle! So cute. Anyways, here are a few photos documenting our first outing as a family to The Varsity.

P.S. On another note- I think we were the only ones out in Athens with non-UGA apparel on. We were happy to show our support to our BYU Cougs! But, I think we should think twice when the team is in town. We don't want to get hurt ;-).

Wordless Wednesday

Already?

I knew that it was common for children to hide their vegetables from their plate to get out of eating them...

I guess babies do too

Just Give In!

The poor little guy just would not fall asleep this afternoon. This is when he finally gave in to sleep.... at dinner time.

This was at 6pm. We were sure that if we put him to bed then that he would wake up at some odd hour during the night and be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. But he must have been mighty tired - he slept until 7am!!

Back to School...

Watch out UGA - Here comes Morgan!

It's here. Morgan's starting his PhD. Up to this point, Morgan has been busy with orientations and meetings. He said he already felt a little overwhelmed - even before school started! We know that he'll do well - he's very studious. (A trait that I adore in him...)

Andrew was really excited for Morgan to start school - look at that smile! He's just so proud of his daddy.

Since Morgan won't be home at dinner time most days (sad!), We've decided that we are going to try really hard to have breakfast together as a family. It's been fun so far. Isn't this egg sandwich too cute?

After breakfast we proceed to the window so Andrew and I can see daddy off. I think that this will be a fun tradition to have!

So, now I've entered back into real life. Being home with Andrew and not seeing Morgan/dad until late a night. (thankfully there are a lot of other girls in the ward with similar situations!) Even though we'll miss him, we know that this is a sacrifice that we must make. We're really proud of Morgan/daddy and all that he is doing to earn this next step in his education.
