Life Lately

Ah, 2 year olds. After crying (screaming) that he was NOT GONNA DO IT (nap) I found Nolan blessedly sleeping with his hat and mittens on and using some Halloween decorative spiders as pillows. I say whatever to the details, because his eyes were closed for 90 minutes! 


Making himself comfy in Ollie’s bed too. 


Hahaha, I’m just realizing this is the third Nolan sleeping picture in a row. I’m rethinking this post title, for life around here does not feel like one gigantic nap. 


Nolan’s newest love: scissors.

Atlanta

People! My brother is married! We got to celebrate their big day in Atlanta; here's some of our fun!
 
Someone's a teeny bit excited about the airport shuttle.
 
 
Taking in the sights from the 26th floor.
 
Also, bathroom TV. :)
 
We did quite a bit of walking around and exploring and found all kinds of neat parks.
Geocaching of course. 
 
 
Trying out the electric scooters
 
 
 
 
Breakfast Club

 
Sethre's tour the Atlanta Fed Building. Watch out world! We are a wild and crazy bunch! 
 
Noey was "snaking" Momo at the Fed. So cute!
 
 
 
Ollie and I went to the World of Coke. He declared it to be better than the Fed. Ha.
 
His first ever 4-D movie at World of Coke. He was so amped and also curious about how everything worked. Meanwhile, whiplash concerns crossed my mind. 8 versus 35, lol.
 
 
 
And of course the sampling room. I would say we helped ourselves to over 60 sodas. Ollie was pretty determined to try them all until we hit the European sodas and it was one club soda tasting beverage after another. His favorite was a minty flavored soda from Djibouti.  
 
Nolan was mostly shy and unfriendly, but a few bribed him into their laps with a promise of looking at pictures on their phone.  
 
 
 
Ollie was the complete opposite and felt that every moment not spent with the entire extended family (plus Alexa's family) was wasted time. Ollie invited everyone to World of Coke (including Alexa's dad), but alas, it ended up just being the two of us.
 
Joyce and Ollie! A couple of my very favorite people!! 
 
Dinner out! 
 
Aladdin! 

 
Midtown we had fun!
