Football weekend in ATL

We spent last weekend in Atlanta, with high hopes for the 08-09 football season. Those hopes were immediately dashed when we watched Clemson absolutely fall apart against Alabama for the big season opener at the Georgia Dome. Despite the disappointment surrounding the game, we had a great weekend with friends!! Who knows how long it will be until we get to take a trip out of town with friends again, so we did not take it for granted.

As you can tell from the picture below, there's no question that a baby is on the way. I'd been gradually getting bigger until about a week ago when the pooch seemed to double in size over night. I'm now at 18 weeks & we find out if it's a boy or a girl in a couple of weeks!!
