Take Me Out

We went to a Braves game today, and it was such a blast.  Mostly because we won.  We ate hot dogs and Solon inhaled an entire slurpie. 

Hey Good Lookin' What You Got Cookin'?

Yep. Boots.  Jay got a jar of leather moisturizer as part of his bday boot gift, and the instructions say to heat up your shoes at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes before applying the lotion. So, he did his boots first and then mine next.  These were my dad's cowboy boots for a very long time when we were growing up, and when he was living with us in Atlanta he was going to pitch them but I said I wanted them instead.  I am glad I did because they are a happy reminder of him.

They are in need of some serious care.  The leather was super dry and the soles have holes all in them.  My dad had them resoled several times when he wore them, but I kind of hate the idea of getting new soles.  The holes remind me of how my dad wore every single pair of his shoes literally into the ground.

Up Way Too Early!

I will confess that I was one of the people who set their alarm for 4 a.m. on Friday, so I could watch every bit of Wills & Kate getting married.  I got a little company around 6 and was afraid Solon was going to insist I put it on cartoons.  But he loved the horses, carriages and all the flags, so we all watched it together.

Oh So Smart.

Muffin has been toting Jay's balloons all over the house and one day this week one got caught in the foyer...which has 25' foot ceilings.  I told him all was lost and he screamed he had an idea.  So he went racing into the kitchen and came back pushing his step stool in front of him.  He stretched his little arms up and finally looked at me confused.  He wasn't quite understanding why his idea didn't work.

Home

I realized right before we were going to bed that we hadn't managed to get one photo of both of us.  So we took a couple real quick to document our fun night.



What We Do Best



The weather was perfect when we left Flip, so Jay and I took the back way home and looked at some of the prettier neighborhoods in Atlanta.  One of them being Ansley park.  I couldn't pass up snapping a quick photo for Sally:)

And A Bite To Eat

Jay and I are huge Top Chef fans, and one of our favorite contestants (and recent winner) is Chef Richard Blais.  He hails from Atlanta and has recently opened up a 'burger boutique' called Flip.  We have been wanting to check it out, so Ann was sweet enough to babysit Solon so we finally could.  It did not disappoint.  The atmosphere was really modern and cool, and the food was beyond delicious!  And Jay looked super handsome wearing his new shirt & shoes...and the remnants of a birthday ribbon around his neck.
