I'm not sure what all we did this week, but somehow we stayed busy. We had a few visitors, including Denise and Grandma Molly. We also got on the scale and John Thomas is finally in the teens at just over thirteen pounds.
Friday night Jason and I grilled out on our new deck and finally broke in the fire pit. It was a little warm to be sitting by the fire but it provided some ambiance.
We also had a chance to do some gardening. I took out all the squash, zucchini and cucumber plants because they weren't going to bear anymore fruit and reseeded them. Hopefully we'll get some produce before the first frost sets in. Just so there is no confusion, the plants in the picture are okra. I would hate to blog about a drug bust next week!
This week I also finished a phenomenal book, The Help. It's such a great story and nearly impossible to put down! And, thanks to grandma, we were able to go see Inception on Saturday night. Besides the fact that we went to the 10:10 showing and didn't get home until 1:00, it was a wonderful night and a very entertaining flick! It's like Shawshank Redemption mixed with The Matrix.

This week we'll be gearing up for our first flight to go see gramma and papa in Wisconsin. Please wish us luck and if anyone has any advice about flying with a baby, I'll take it.
