My mom has been dating a wonderful, sweet and loving man named Wayne Helms for almost 2 years now. They decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and thought they should make an official commitment by getting married. They had a beautiful ceremony with family and a few close friends at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Atlanta. Allie, Joe and I flew down for the weekend to support my mom and witness her nuptials! We had a great time hanging out with our new stepdad and Allie's new Grandpa (aka Gpa). My aunt Joyce flew down from Massachusetts to support her sister, and it was so great to see her again! My Mom and Wayne will be celebrating their wedding and their retirement by spending 3 months in Scottsdale, Arizona!! We are happy for them in this new journey in life and happy too that we have somewhere warm to go when the winter gets too cold here in Colorado!
We spent the rest of our time in Atlanta visiting Joe's Dad and stepmom, Chris. We met up with them on Sunday morning at the Georgia Aquarium and had a great time. The displays at the aquarium are beautiful and the tank that you can walk into the tunnel is really amazing! Allie loved running from tank to tank saying "sheesh, sheesh" (fish)! After the aquarium we went back to Grandpa and Cici's house to have an early Christmas celebration. Allie was spoiled by Grandpa with about a dozen stuffed animals from the aquarium! And Joe and I were spoiled with a Cannon EOS digital SLR camera!!
It was surely an adventure traveling with a 19 month old who doesn't want to sit still, but with skilled distraction and lots of helpers we had a weekend full of good memories :-)
