it was a very busy and successful weekend.

it started with the newest addition to the blank family, Elizabeth Louise {betsy lou} was born on thursday afternoon {of course on her due date} @ 7lbs 7 ozs. she is the sweetest little angel.

{we love her to pieces}

friday evening, while having my kiddies through the weekend, we went to malibu jack’s for dinner. the owner seated us next to the huge fish tank and then gave each of the kiddies a finger fishy. everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was very pleasant {dave matthews played in the background}. we had bread to start the meal and it came with some really awesome lime butter that was sweet and yum. adam ordered seared yellow tail with amazing mashed ‘taters and ginger carrots, i had HUGE blackened sea scallops with creamed spinach and the kids of course had a pizza. ;)

{the kids LOVED watching “nemo” swim around in the tank!}

after enjoying our really awesome meal, we were told our check had been taken care of! needless to say, we will DEFINITELY go back, soon! great experience all around.

{p.s. a live band was setting up as we were leaving. another plus!}

after dinner we headed to the $ theater for “up“. can i please tell you how much we loved it?!

precious. highly recommend.

saturday morning i co-hosted ANOTHER baby shower for my friend lindsay wilkin. she’s having a boy {preston} in october and also looks great. my girlfriends sure do set the standard when it comes to how preggos are supposed to look!

later on, adam had to study…{tests mon & tues} so the kiddies and i went on our annual visit to arts in the heart downtown.

our day ended with ice cream from bruster’s {yum}, ordered-out italian {double yum}, and a night in watching “enchanted” {so cute}. this all led to a sunday morning of sleeping in and hanging out while it rained rained rained.

{yes, that is a HUGE raindrop-spot on my shirt…}

    wait. is that Lindsey Wilkin married to Justin Wilkin from Atlanta? How do you know them?! So glad Lauren had her little one and all is well. She delivered ON her due date?! What a perfectionist! Looks like you had a busy weekend with the kiddos! See you this weekend (sorry for the 3rd weekend of baby-ness for you!)

    I am always so jealous when I read about your job with the kiddos they are so cute and it seems like you have a lot of fun entertainment. I’m always thinking I need to borrow some kids to go and do some of those fun things. :-)
