A Lovely Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend this past weekend.  It was jam packed, but so nice.  The weather was gorgeous and we had a good mix of work and play.  I couldn't imagine Anthony working around the clock or on weekends again; he is now home by the time I get home with Nolan (if not before), and has only worked one weekend since we moved here.  It's SO wonderful to wake up on a Saturday morning, go get breakfast, and then head to some home improvement store (where we spend a LOT of time and money right now!)

We started the weekend off right with a DATE night on Friday!  My mom kept Nolan so that Anthony and I could go on our first date since the night before Easter (the night Anthony came down with the stomach flu).  We had a yummy dinner and enjoyed some "us" time...

On Saturday we did the breakfast and Lowe's thing then headed into downtown Clayton for Millstock - a small little collection of local artists, farmers, and food vendors that set up in the town square for a craft fair of sorts.  These types of things aren't nearly the size of festivals we were used to in Atlanta, but I love it; I got to park for FREE, it took 10 minutes to get there, there was NO traffic, and there weren't 10,000 trying to do the same thing I was.  It for sure is a nice change of pace when you have a little one...

The rest of our weekend was spent doing yardwork (well Anthony did that), trying to unpack some more boxes, and dinner downtown with Kim and Brandon and E.  It was nice to enjoy a dinner out with friends - Nolan behaved perfectly, even though it was past his bedtime.  He is happy as long as there are people to watch!

A perfect example of his little "shower knob" obsession.  You MUST stand him up during his bath so he can play with it; otherwise, it's impossible to bath him because he practically tries to swim to it!
