Brazil

Our first big trip away from Jacey-Kate was to Brazil over the past week. We left on the 15th and returned well rested on the 24th. Jacey-Kate stayed with Gigi at Big Canoe the night of the 15th, Kara's parents the first half of the week and then Russ' family the second half of the week. I'm not sure she even missed us! We had a wonderful time and experienced a beautiful remote beach in northern Brazil where we took dune buggy rides, swam in lagoons full of rain water, ate fresh fish and shrimp, and watched unbelievable sunsets. The slideshow below is pictures from our trip and the time she spent with her grandparents. (mom...there weren't any pics of you, next trip give dad the camera. :-))

Athens Trip

We took a little trip to Athens, GA this past weekend for the Gardens of the World Ball at the Georgia State Botanical Gardens. We had a terrific time and met some really wonderful people. Jacey-Kate loved her first trip to Dawg country. Her daddy even said he'd be quite pleased if she chose to go to UGA...only because she'd be getting the Hope Scholarship and he wouldn't have to pay much for her college experience. :-)

We are home sick today. I think the weekend wore her out. Jacey-Kate had a 103.8 temperature this morning, so we ended up in the pediatrician's office most of the afternoon. There's a virus going around that her doctor thinks she might have caught. I'm hoping she's rid of it by tomorrow. We'll see.....

The pics are from a birthday party, athens and the gardens of the world ball. Enjoy!
