Home

This past weekend we went home to visit family in Griffin, Georgia. Well not home, but to our former hometown. Our home is 100% where we are at now - Florida. Although I know very few people here, I feel more at home than I have in a long time. When we moved to Florida, it was like the three of us started a new life together here. The house in Columbus never felt like home, and I wish that wasn't where Amelia had spent the first 6 months of her life. It is what it is though! Anyways, back to the point of this post - we enjoyed visiting our hometown. Adam and I took Amelia to Noah's Ark. An awesome place in Locust Grove, Ga. We gave a $15 donation, and if we had the money to spend we would've gone back to give more. It was just as good or better than any zoo we've been to lately, and 1/4 of the price. We got super close to all of the animals, and Amelia had fun chasing ducks in the big grass patch by the Tiger's cage! We will definitely be back anytime we have a few hours to spare when visiting family/friends.

 

 

We took Amelia to a Fall Festival my friend Samantha was working at that same night. I couldn't wait for her to do Fall Festival things like have her face painted, take a hay ride and eat candy. She was very unsure of having her face painted, but gave in and let the nice girl paint a pumpkin on her face. Amelia was the littlest little there, so we didn't stick around too long {much to my dismay - as I missed the cake walk}. She was soon to be trampled by the candy-hungry big kids.

 

Honey's house has lots of yard for Amelia to stretch her legs, and stretch her legs she does. Outside or up and down the stairs are Amelia's favorite things to do when we visit her Honey.

We will be going back home to visit at the end of November to celebrate Thanksgiving and Adam's mom's tradition of lighting her wreaths. It's a very special night for her, and we love being able to be there for it. We are back home now and it is AWESOME! I woke up this morning in my own bed, and laid there and thought about how wonderful it was to be home for at least 5 minutes. We are taking Amelia to the fair tonight for her first trip ever. We adults have big plans for eating greasy fair food, and I can't wait for Amelia to ride rides and see the animals at the petting zoo. I'll be back tomorrow with some fair pictures to share!!

PS - Amelia is going to be a GNOME for Halloween!!!
