Atlanta Nana (and Jesse's crew)

My mom and my brother (with his wife and four kids) came to visit last week! Somehow my mom didn't make it into any of these pictures I posted but was definitely the highlight of the kids' week! The kids loved playing with their cousins and we had a great excuse to go in and see Atlanta (this area we've been living in for three months and haven't seen). We went to the Center for Puppetry Arts, Centennial Olympic park (twice), and the Atlanta Zoo. My mom got us a swingset and Jesse put it together (much thanks to you both) and we got a little kiddie pool that the kids had a lot of fun in. We set up a tent in the basement for the older kids and pulled out every chair we owned for mealtimes. We even had a storm Saturday night and went down to the basement in the middle of the night (luckily half the kids were already there and slept right through it). Our neighborhood was fine (some sticks and leaves to clean up) but the next morning at church the bishop sent us home after sacrament and told the men to meet at the school so they could clean up some trees that were blocking ward members driveways (ox in the mire thing). But other than that it was a fun week and my kids are disappointed to be back down to just me today!
