Kirkwood Wine Stroll

Last weekend we ventured out to the 2nd Annual Kirkwood Wine Stroll with Sarah and Taylor. Kirkwood is a neighborhood close to downtown Atlanta. All the local shops have a selection of wine for you to taste, most had two (a red and a white). Now, if you take your wine tasting seriously you can write down comments about each wine, if you just like to drink wine in a fun social setting, that is ok too. It is for all palates. Here is how we do it...The girls get all cute, the boys are cute too:), then we head on downtown and begin to stroll. When we arrive we act very sophisticated and act like we are really analyzing the wine with each sip. We may take some notes on the wines we particularly like. About the time we are approaching stop 5, (there are 14) Taylor suggests that we stop in a bar (which also happens to be one of the stops) to get a full glass of wine, since the pours are so small:) He doesn't have to twist our arms very hard. So, we do this...as if we really need it, with 9 more stops. At this point we are all doing pretty well so, we continue on our jaunt through downtown Kirkwood... with each stop, we taste more wine, get more talkative, get louder and take more pictures. When the wine stroll was over we stopped for dinner. All, I can say about that is the company was the best part. When we got home the fun continued. Sarah thought she was a football player and decided to play full contact football with me. Oh, I forgot to mention that I didn't know she had decided to play this game until I was lying flat on my back in our living room! Taylor thought it would be fun to dump a full glass of wine into our end table drawer. Apparently, he didn't need that glass of wine anyway:) As you can imagine, we had a wonderful time. Here are some pictures documenting our afternoon/evening. Oh, for anyone wondering, Jon was kind enough to only taste a few of the wine selections so that he could drive us all home safely. Thank you for that Jon:)

The night begins...

The famous self portrait!

The night is still young!

There is no sibling rivalry here :)

The drive home...

It has been a good night!

Anyone want to go swimming???

Movin' on up...

Jon and I finally decided to become one of the cool kids and create our own blog. We thought this would be a great way of keeping everyone in the loop of our comings and goings. Living so far from most of our family and lots of our friends makes it hard to keep everyone up to date...so hear goes. Jon is working as an insurance adjuster and has been very busy the last several months traveling back and forth from Atlanta to Savannah, GA (about 4 hours away). I am very fortunate to have a flexible job that allows me to pack up and go with him every few weeks. We are making the most of it and having lots of fun on our "mini" vacations. I am still working with Taylor and my dad at Skyline, trying to build it into a booming business:) I have a wonderful job and am very grateful for it. We have 4 wonderful children....Ziggy, Marley, Luna and Stella. One day we will expand, but right now it is all we can do to manage and keep up with our fur family!

There it is, our first blog. I know a lot of you know all of this so, from now on it will be all current stuff:)
