Weekend in Atlanta

Before a recap of our weekend activities..... I wanted to include a few pictures from last week!.... This is Zander before "school" one morning working on breakfast.  We have moved him to the "big boy" table but he still has his chair rather than the booster. :)
 The staff at my school did a dance number to "Shake It Off" by T. Swift for our school's talent show.  We embraced 80's attire for the evening event!  (a special thanks to my friend, Sarah, for sharing her 80's clothes!)

Then, our family of three (Burke stayed with Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Boomer) headed to Atlanta Friday night to visit with Grannie, Aunt A and Uncle Jay!  Aunt A and Uncle Jay are getting married in September.  I had the privilege of going dress shopping with the ladies while Zack and Zander had "boy time" with Uncle Jay.  I am excited to report we found the dress!! It is gorgeous!  At the shop where we found it, they make you take a picture with their mannequin to celebrate the purchase (disclaimer.... this is NOT the dress!!... I will not be posting pictures of Aunt A in the dress until after September!)
We celebrated daddy's 33rd birthday that night by Aunt A and Uncle Jay making a delicious dinner and having an ice cream cake for dessert.  Amanda's best friend, Adair, came over with her twin baby girls!  Zander wanted to be held like a baby too!  It showed me he might not be ready for a sibling just yet! He got a little upset when mommy was holding another baby!  haha  These twin girls are precious!

 Zander loves his Aunt A!

A Quick Update!

I have been sick for the past week with a cold or the flu or something like that!  I have had chills, a fever, a really bad sore throat, ear ache, headache, and an awful cough! It has even caused me to lose my voice... and this "cold" isn't going away any time soon. :(  I finally took a day off of work today in the hopes that I could kick this thing in its butt!  I am sad to report that some of the symptoms are still here!  Fortunately, I only had the fever and chills last weekend.  Everything else is lingering in my body.  I have heard from multiple people that this is just how this particular virus is.... but what is it?!  I don't have strep throat and have ruled out an ear infection.  There has been no name given to me so far.... so until I am 100%.... I will just keep medicine companies in business.... trying any suggested remedy that comes my way!  Enough about me.... here are a few pictures of our little guy!
 Zander still loves bath time.... here I might have gotten soaked right after taking this picture!
We have attempted booster seats and simply having Z sit in the booth with us when we are out to eat.  So far, things are going well.  The only downside is that when he is finished eating.... we need to be as well! He will let you know he is ready to get up and start moving to the next activity.
Finally, as I was trying to fight this cold or whatever I have, I got a call from Z's daycare saying that he was running outside and ran straight into the corner of a water fountain!  So he has a nasty bruise and quite a large knot (hard to see the 3D aspects of his injury in this photo).  He kept touching it and saying "my boo boo" on the way home from school today.  I hope that when he wakes up tomorrow it is considerably smaller and not so purple.... thank goodness his hair can cover it and picture day was this MORNING.... prior to the afternoon recess time! ;)
