HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CJ



 




A weekend getaway ended much to fast as we had many reasons to celebrate this trip. The biggest reason was our CJ was turning 1! How very proud we all are to have her in our lives! I can honestly say she fits in PERFECTLY with us!We had a special guest appearance by the "talking head." Grandma was all bundled up for the party. We do think she was hiding some brownies on us. She is such a good sport about her picture getting taken!

Although some things just don't change in our family; it was great to have spent some quality time with cousins we don't see very often. This truly is family bonding! Notice my sister shows her displeasure towards the Boston Red Sox while Adam has turned a blind eye to what was going on behind him or maybe his focus was on his bisquits and gravy.
After breakfast at the waffle house, we took a brief tour of Atlanta as the birthday girl rested up for her big day! Aunt Sue, Mom, Jill, and I took our first ever visit to a Presidential Library. As it was clear we were the only one's there we made the most of our trip.

We had a few hours before our flight left to finish up our trip with some sight seeing. But top on the list was landing grandma a part-time job. She had an interview promptly at 9am. We grilled her with some informative questions that the interviewer might ask her. We thought this job would be a great opportunity for her to relocate, start over, earn some money to support all of us, and of course land onhe fortune 500 list.


 Grandma sure looked like she had done this before! Here she was proof reading some contracts before they went out. She was getting ready to sign on the dotted line for a long-term employment contact with KDHRC. How excited we were to hear that she got the job! Since gram is now gainfully employed; we have changed the criteria of the pirate game. Gram is in the process of creating a document that she will PDF to all of us.



Thank you Kristen and Eric for such a wonderful weekend! Happy Birthday Caroline!
