This past weekend, several important people had birthdays so there was lots to celebrate! Saturday we went over to Keri-Ann and Bryan's place to see their newly 1-year old daughter, Regan, demolish the world in cake form. Regan's cake was the coolest thing ever and Keri-Ann and Bryan let her eat it up all by herself (well - she didn't eat much of it but the icing made pretty colors). There was lots of relaxing hanging out happening there and we watched Clemson beat Georgia Tech! Go Tigers! As you can see, I've made a tiger out of Jeff.

And Sunday we had brunch with the B&B at the Sundy House since it was Beth's birthday. Yay! The Sundy House is this local Bed and Breakfast known for their Sunday brunch spread (click on this post title to go to their webpage) - we had never been but had heard the delicious rumors and were not disappointed. Afterwards, we took a stroll around the gardens which were gorgeous filled with tropical plants, ponds, bamboo, and a sleeping macaw! I'm pretty sure our yard will look this nice next summer.

Grumpy Morning Looks



Just in case any of you were wondering what it's like to wake up in our house - you always have two pups thinking they belong in bed more than you do! Look at Karma's face - she's like, "excuuuuusssse me? I'm not ready to get up yet." Zen is like "just a little longer!"

Let me out!

A coworker sent this photo to me and I thought it was funny enough to share. I guess the gator was stressed out by the humans vs. the other way around! This is about the size of the ones that are in the STAs at that Test Cells project I posted about earlier.

Greg and Taryn's Wedding


Last weekend, we went to Delaware to see cousin Greg and Taryn's wedding. This is us with Debbie and Chris and Kaitlyn before leaving for the big event! Poor little Matthew had to stay home to avoid potential energetic phases during the ceremony. It was very fun being held at the art museum and dancing with the fam - Kaitlyn definitely has some hot moves kinda like Pigpen of the Peanuts Gang.

So...this was the last wedding of the year for us! Whew! It will be really nice to spend some time at home in October and catch up on cleaning and yardwork. If any of you is thinking about getting married, I have a suggestion: ELOPE! hahaha!
