Weekend Update - June 6

Several exciting things happened this week.  First, Joseph bought a truck!  He is very, very excited.  He has been wanting a truck for a while, and he found a good deal on a used truck through Craigslist.  It's nothing fancy - a 1996 Chevy - but it serves its purpose.  Joseph wanted something to haul things for our yard and also our rental properties.  He has promised to clean up and sell his motorcycle (which hasn't been ridden in over 5 years), so that makes me excited :)

Also in transportation news, we bought a bike seat for Lola.  We rented bikes in February when we went to Sanibel Island, and she loved riding.  Joseph installed it on his bike and took Lola for her first ride.

We had two birthday parties on Saturday, both for kids in our neighborhood playgroup.  First up was Sawyer's party in the morning.  We went to their house and had a lovely brunch.  The kids played inside some, and then they moved onto the porch for the water table and bubbles.  In the afternoon, we went to Bennett's party.  It was quite hot, but the kids played outside in the bouncy house and on various vehicles in the driveway.  Lola loved the car/ramp/roller coaster thing they had.  She would lift the car up onto the ramp herself and ride it down.  So adventurous!  We capped off the day with dinner at Fellini's.

On Sunday, we took Lola to her first Braves game.  My friend Shaun had tickets he wasn't going to use, so he offered them to me since they were playing the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Thanks, Shaun!  The game was at 1:30 and Lola usually naps then, so we just headed over around 3 after she woke up.  It was a super hot day again, but we had seats in the shade, so it was bearable.  We were there for about an hour and a half and Lola did great - she only started getting antsy at the end.  She liked all the songs and cheers, and she even learned the Tomahawk Chop.
