About 2 weeks ago, William experienced a very important first in the life of a child growing up in Georgia...
The Varsity, an Atlanta Institution! Here he is, enjoying a naked dog, fries, and a yummy Frosted Orange! And of course, he's wearing the obligatory red paper hat. He got a kick out of the counter staff yelling "what'll ya have?".I only know ONE person who didn't grow up in the South, yet still craves The Varsity. But to us native Georgians, it just doesn't get any better than a chili dog, onion rings and a frosted orange... and maybe a fried pie for dessert!
Zack's parents bought William a wading pool for his birthday, and he enjoys splashing around in it at their house... (obviously Adie has to get in on the action, too!)
Last Saturday the 3 of us went hiking at Amicalola Falls for a couple of hours. I'm proud to say we went up all 600 stairs, and back down 425. We had an awesome time, and even saw a couple of snakes and a really cool lizard.
This boy loves to eat watermelon. We had a cookout at Josh's house (Zack's brother) and we finally had to stop him so he didn't end up with a tummy ache.
He also had fun playing with Josh's new baby, Zoe.
She's a cutie!
She's a cutie!This week is Bible School at the church where he attended preschool. The theme is Outrigger Island, and he is really enjoying it. Every night he listens to a CD of the songs that they're working on, and shows me the hand motions. And each night Zack & I pray that a seed is being planted and that he is starting to understand what all of this is about.
William is super-excited that we're leaving Saturday morning for his first trip to the beach! He told me he can't wait to play in the sand, swim in the ocean, jump in the pool (I'll believe it when I see it!), build a sand castle, see sharks & alligators (at the Aquarium & Alligator Adventure) and eat "crab's legs". He's never had crab legs but this boy loves shrimp & fish, and is the least picky eater of any kid I've met, so I imagine he'll like them!

I think William is really enjoying the Georgia life. He will have a blast at the beach. We just got back last week from a few days at the beach with Jordan. He had the best time.....of course, we did too!
Enjoy every moment. Looking forward to seeing the beach pics!

Every picture you take of William is great. He is such a cute little guy!
Leeza loves watermelon too. Maybe it's Ukraine thing. Does he also like cucumbers and tomatoes? She'd eat those non-stop as well if we let her.
Enjoy your trip. Can't wait to hear how much fund you all have at the beach.
What a funny thing- can you believe I have been wanting to go to Varsity and then I see you all took William there- how fun!!! So glad he likes bible school. We finished up last night and EK LOVED it! Sure hoping you all have a great time @ the beach!!! Talk to you soon.
