Weekend in Atlanta
Jeni and I went to Atlanta this weekend -- I had a continuing ed seminar so I was in class most of the weekend and Jeni got to visit with Nikki and Todd and the kids.
Jeni got to go with Nikki and Todd to Evan's little league game.
Baseball really seems to be his thing.
Todd is coaching Evan's team this year and Nikki is the Team Mom, keeping the stats.
Of course, what would little league be without someone who takes it too seriously, like these guys, who almost got in a brawl when one coach accused the other coaches of cheating by changing their lineup so that their good batters batted for their bad batters. This is seven-year-olds, afterall. So yeah, someone called the Police, and by the end there were about eight Police officers there, including the gang task force car.
Jeni and Nikki also found a great deal on a new bedroom set for Nikki and Todd's room. Their other stuff was old and Nikki was ready for something new.
Speaking of something new ... we got to meet the new kitten, Hobbes.
This is the sweetest cat, and possibly the most patient cat ever. Not only will he tolerate Evan (he loves Evan, actually), but he let's Lizzie try to pick him up and clean him.
It looks like Lizzie is trying to eat Hobbes, but she's just trying to pick him up. Poor Hobbes was soaked with Lizzie slobber by the end of the ordeal.
Morgan spent the night with friends the first night, which probably worked out better for her since we took over her room. She's definitely a 13-year-old now.
And Branden is so sweet. He never fussed the whole weekend.
Before we left I got to get my hands dirty and help Todd bring a tree down. You can't really see it here, but since we didn't have any rope I'm using an extension cord to leverage the tree in the right direction.
We always have such a good time when we visit, even on these quick trips. And we're so excited because Nikki said she's definitely coming for the roller derby around Jeni's birthday!
