Greeting from "The ATL"

For those of you who didn't know, we are on our first family of 6 vacation. A long weekend to Atlanta complete with a trip to American Girl, Braves game, and the Atlanta aquarium with 2 kids and 6 week old twins??!!!! I know most of you probably think we're crazy, but things have gone GREAT! The babies couldn't have been any better. The trip down took an extra 2 hours with various stops, but they survived 6 hours at the Braves game without crying once! It was unreal how great they were. God bless the inventer or slings (and Ashley J. for loaning me hers!).


I haven't been able to post in weeks and pics in months, but I had to share all the fun we are having right now! Our first stop was the American Girl store where Ashton's Bitty Twin, Carla, had her hair done in their salon.


Ashton also got to do a little shopping for her babies. I think this picture is adorable with her shopping bag slung over her shoulder. I'm sure I'll see her doing this many more times in the coming years, and it will get more expensive each time, but it's cute now.


This was our first real outing with the twins and, well, we're apparently a freak show! In 2 days we have met half of Georgia, I think. It's impossible to be introverted with twins because everyone wants to talk to you! It was so bad, it got to be really funny. In fact, Jackson and Jon started playing a game to see how many people commented on the twins. Just in one hour at the American Girl store they got to 42! We've about lost count after today. And how do the twins handle their celebrity?...


They took it in stride riding in their cool new stroller that has been invaluable on this trip!

Today we had the most perfect day at the ballfield! The twins were amazing, the game was a great 11 inning match with Smoltz pitching, and we had the most amazing seats we could ever imagine! It was amazing, even worth Jon missing the opening day of hunting season- what a sacrifice! Look at these great pics...

This isn't where our seats were, but taken from the top of the stadium we were checking out.


This is Will. Wesley was riding in the sling with his daddy. I carried Will because he is now the lighter of the 2. Wesley has now passed Will by almost a pound!

This is where our amazing seats were our seats were, front row. That is Chipper Jones right behind Jackson. We were in the front row (did I mention that already?-so cool!) which honestly made me very nervous with foul balls and the babies, but none came close!

This is one happy Daddy! I haven't seen Jon this excited without it involving a animal he killed or a child he created being involved in a long time!!! It was great to see him enjoy something so much and share it with his kids, even getting the new ones trained at 6 weeks!

Jackson enjoyed doing the chop and even taught his brother (Will again)...

The 3 innings they were awake, the twins really seemed to be taking it all in and enjoying the game and bonus, the Braves won! Now, I have to get to sleep to get ready for tomorrow's great adventure, espcially since I've probably jinxed myself bragging about the babies great behavior!
