Whirlwind Weekend

Lately, our weekends have been pretty busy. I can't remember the last time the three of us were home, with nothing to do. This weekend was no exception. We left late Thursday evening headed to Mobile. By late, I mean, we didn't get to Mobile until 1:30 a.m. Late, huh? Originally we planned to leave Friday morning, but Thursday night worked out fine.

The reason for our trip was to celebrate Eric's Grandmother's 70th birthday. Family from all over came in for this wonderful occasion. It was so good to see people we don't get to visit with often. We celebrated Eric's Grandmother by having a yummy dinner at Felix's Fish Camp restaurant on Mobile Bay. The food, as always, was divine, and the scenery was beautiful.

The rest of the weekend was spent lazing around and having fun with our family. We attempted the pool, but I opted to get out quick! The water is just not warm enough yet, for me. Eric and Virginia didn't seem to mind.

We left early Sunday morning headed back to LaGrange. Eric had an event to play at on the square, in downtown LaGrange, that evening. The event was a viewing party for Extreme Makeover Home Edition, that was broadcast Sunday night. Back in February, a family from Pine Mountain, Georgia, (not far from LaGrange) was chosen for the Extreme Makeover Home Edition show. (the link tells more about the Williams' family) Eric's medical group, Emory Clark-Holder Clinic, was the official medical provider for the week long build. Eric worked a shift and was able to be at the site for the final reveal. Yes, he was there to yell, MOVE THAT BUS! The downtown alliance in LaGrange thought it would be a good idea to show the William's episode on the square Sunday night. Before the showing, Eric and group of guys entertained everyone with some great music. Virginia and I brought our blankets and came to the square to listen to Daddy play and sing. The weather was great and it was so nice to be outside. Virginia LOVES to hear Eric play and sing, so this was a double treat for her. We played on the blankets and she ate her Cheerios when she got bored.

We had a great time this past weekend, as busy as it was. Now, we're hoping to slow down a bit and enjoy our week at home. More company coming this weekend! Happy Tuesday!
