I had the most delightful session yesterday with a 6 month old sweetie named Noah. Just wait until you meet him - adorable!!
While I was gone, Vic (and - reluctantly - Aidan) laid new sod in our backyard. We did the backyard a few years ago, but the bermuda never really took in the shady spots (we have a lot of trees). Our neighbors put in Zion Zoysia and we’ve been coveting ever since. So this weekend, that’s what he put in. Isn’t it lovely? Like a big fuzzy green carpet.
They’re putting out pine straw now to cover all the yuck in the woods. It’s going to be so great.
I’m keeping Ava occupied with a bucket of water and her new Littlest Pet Shop toys. They don’t have rubber clothes, which is a good thing.
She (inevitably) took a tumble off the retaining wall yesterday - it was bound to happen at some point. She’s a little scraped up, but Vic said it took her about 15 minutes and she was climbing back up again. Stinker.

So my online friends are trying to aid me in my quest to become more stylish and <ahem> girl-like. 
I’ve never understood the shoe thing - how women love shoes. Me? Give me a nice comfy pair of Tevas and I’m all set for the summer. Flip flops, maybe a nice pair of Sketchers in the winter.
Part of the problem is my complete aversion to shopping - I know, I’m weird.
But I’m ready to turn into a girl, I think. So they linked me up with a bunch of suggestions and I headed out to DSW on Friday night (with Aidan in tow - he loved that) for some shoe shopping.
I bought these - by Privo (which are so amazingly comfortable!!)
And these:
(I wanted blue, but they were sold out of my size)
And another pair in a python (yes, python) print. Wheee - I’m getting crazy over here!
None of these are nearly as cute as the ones they linked me to from Piperlime, but it’s all baby steps, right?

Those of you who live in Cobb, have you been to the Lucy store at the Avenue East Cobb yet? Oh my - it’s glorious! I looove the Spa pants and the Everyday pants. They’re comfy (!) and look nice. What more could you ask for?

Last weekend we were craving Grouper sandwiches - Vic and I love them, and our local place just changed theirs on the menu to the “Fish Sandwich” (grumble, grumble). I googled and found out that one of my favorite little lunch places - The Fickle Pickle - has grouper on their dinner menu! Whoo! We took the kids and it was so great. We sat outside, Ava was free to run around (not really, but she’s reached that ‘won’t sit in her seat so we can’t go out to eat for another year’ stage), and the grouper sandwiches were amazing.
If you haven’t been there for dinner, I highly recommend it! I do love downtown Roswell.

I mentioned I took Aidan out with me on Friday night - that was nice. We couldn’t remember the last time we’d gone out without anyone else. We’ll have to do it again soon.

I think we’re going biking at Callaway Gardens tomorrow. Or hiking at Amicalola . I want to bike, but Vic says it’ll be cooler at Amicalola.

What am I doing while posting these random blog entries? Client DVD backups. They take quite a bit of time to run, so I’m filling my time with my lovely blog readers!
So what are you up to this weekend??
