Over a Month Ago...

we went to Atlanta.  All original Usserys, the married ins, and the babies.  Quarters were cramped, but but not our style.  There's a chance all some of the children even slept in closets...just so we could be under the same roof.  And it was so much fun.  See?

Here are the babes setting up for what looks to be a fierce Duck Duck Goose competition.  Baby Austin was so good the entire trip.  He survived Jack putting him in a headlock and dropping him on the floor, and Finn biting (and therfore ruining) his beach ball.  Austin is so forgiving.  We enjoyed every minute with our nephew.

This is one of the few pictures where I can see a little of John in Finley.  Two of my handsome men...

The three amigos.

Austin developed the craziest smile over the weekend.  This is a milder version of it.

We picnicked in the park with some friends of Jordan and Trevor.  There was a festival of sorts going on in the park, so afterwards, we strolled around for a bit.  In the short 2 hours we were there, our boys played with a dead mouse and urinated in public.  Pretty typical picnic!

Here's our oldest boy and his loot.  Whenever we travel, he'll pack his Speed Racer backpack full of valuables:  this fisherman hat from a size 2T costume, the Transformer beach towel, an old camera case, a paper french fry wrapper from Bojangles, a toy car....the list of treasures could go on.  It's cute, and he calls it his "work."  We don't argue.

Another afternoon in another park with another infamous Austin grin. 

Outside of family time, the real reason we were there was to support the GT baseball team in their sweeping victories over Clemson.  The boys loved the games and they LOVED mascot, Buzz.  The T shirts that Gigi bought them are now referred to as their "jerseys" and they wear them all the time.  Jack wore his to school the next 3 days.  Washed of course.

Thank you for a great time in tha ATL, Gigi and Poppy Johnny!  Let's go again.
