Welcome to Atlanta where....

So we've had a really busy last couple of weeks, I mean really busy. Since August 15th we've:

Took one last outing in DC (is it bad to take a baby to a cemetary?):



this was not an easy picture to get...



thanks Jack...



Way to go Shelby...

But we did manage to get a picture of the illusive "Bird Face":



Moved Back to Atlanta:

Our place in DC was absolutely tiny, but we somehow managed to have an absolute ton of stuff packed in there. So upon packing we ended up with boxes everywhere:

In the office (or bedroom if you will):














In the Kitchen and living room:




















And in the hallway:




















(Don't worry, we put air holes in the box)

One thing is for certain though, moving with a child is exhausting.














So Tiring....


but like they say, sleep when your baby sleeps, so we did...



Met a lot More of the "Kin Folk":

But its been great to get back, and we've had a booming social calendar every since:

The deRijke's welcomed us back, and brayden got to meet his cousin rece and aunty casey:



His uncle Jazzy (jeff), although they may have to be reintroduced, as he slept for the entire visit:



His great aunt Kathy (although I'm not sure if he's been formally introduced to the monkey or not yet, but who we owe a ton of thanks, along with peggy, for setting up the nursery):



Were hosted to dinner aunty brooke and uncle chris at their new house. We were also joined by aunt julie, margaret, and henry.



Also Met grandpa and Tami, although I can't seem to find the pics with grandpa, and we even dressed him in his pirate outfit especially for the meeting, to make an extra special first impression (thanks to grandpa for picking up the nursery so kathy could set it up):



went to dinner at Emily and Trip's new house with Mark, Jen, Jake and Emma:



Were treated to our first night out on the town by Opa and Oma at Einstein's



met his cousin's henry and margaret (virtually impossible to get a good picture of 3 kids under 4)



And were hosted to dinner by nana (and henry and margaret)




These are just a few of the things that I can think of that we've done in the past two weeks. The one thing that we really haven't done, to this point, is actually unpack. We have a ton more pictures that you are welcome to sort through if you like by clicking HERE,
