3-9-2018  ride up into the Smoky's to Cades Cove:

Supposedly there was snow in the Smoky's.  So after the kids left for their weekend to Asheville, we took a day trip up to Cades Cove.

Stopped at a lot of places along the way up!

3-8-2018  heading up to Knoxville

Time to head back up to Knoxville and watch the pup and kitty while Tim and Faith went to Asheville for the weekend.  It was about a 3 1/2 hour ride, but a rather pretty one.  Georgia is looking like Spring is here.  At least Spring is starting.  Of course, we'll be continuing on to St. Louis after the weekend in Knoxville and back to winter!  So I'm enjoying the little bit of spring along our way.

 This time we took SR 20 straight to I-75----no stopping at gardens or waterfalls.  Probably would have if I hadn't gone to the gardens yesterday.

3-7-2018  Gibbs Gardens with Angie and Layla:

It's that time again----time for daffodils!!!  So I had to get back to Gibb's Gardens before my membership expired, which is tomorrow!  Angie also has a membership, so she went, too.  It was a chilly 50ish degree day, but nice and sunny.  It was Layla's first garden visit!!!  I guess she liked it, she slept through most of it.  But Angie and I spent about 3 hours and 3 miles wandering around.
Looking towards the entrance.

daffodils!

3-2-18  Lake Lanier

 Decided to take another ride over to the lake.  Probably won't get back up here once we move.
West Bank Park from the dam again.

 First we went down to the spillway just south of the dam.  Lots of ground cover flowering right now.

3-1-2018  more house hunting

Josh's official start date for his new territory---although he's been making the trip down here weekly for about a month now.  So he came down by himself a couple days ago and Angie and I joined him yesterday.  Today he had an 8:30am meeting, then we all headed out.
Layla ready for another long car ride.

 But first, the kids decided to check out a few more houses.  Love the ride through the farmlands as we made our way to the houses.  Lots of pecan farms and cotton farms down here.

3-1-18 Layla is 3 months old today!

Angie says this about her:

 Layla's three months old now!

Little miss Layla continues to amaze us. She has doubled her birth weight of 5 pounds, 4 ounces, and now weighs 10 pounds, 14 ounces! She's about 22.5" long, but seems so much bigger.

Layla has become a smilin' machine and is crushing tummy time. She's sleeping like a champ, too, only waking mommy up once a night to eat. She loves Elizabeth Mitchell's "Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie" and dancing with daddy.

2-28-2018  House hunting trip to middle Georgia

 Not so much a house hunting trip for Layla and me---we just hung out at the Marriott while Mom and Dad went hunting.  But we had a good time.  It's fun watching Layla grow and meet new milestones.  Now she's alert a lot more and even smiling a lot. 

 She even seemed to enjoy being propped up in a corner.
