Melissa is FINALLY in the states! YAY!! She is here for a 5 month sabbatical, and she spent the first 6 days here with me! We had a blast! She and her boyfriend, Coburn, were able to spend some nice quality time together as well as make some important visits over the weekend, and then we all got a chance to hang out Friday night (at Trivia) and Sunday (at Stone Mountain). (As a side note: I'm not writing a whole lot in this post (sorry to you detail lovers out there), but if I did, it wouldn't get out 'til next week. Yes, it's been a crazy week, and it's not over yet! I just have a few minutes of down time while James is sleeping.) The last two days it was just the three of us- Melissa (a.k.a. Lala), James and me. James loved following his Tia (Aunt) Lala everywhere. She gets a little crazy... I mean goofy... when she's around little kids, which kept him laughing all the time, and he even cried when she closed the bathroom door to take a shower and he couldn't be in there with her. Haha! It was so cute!
We're sad she's gone, but the good news is that Nana is coming for a visit next weekend, so we're busy looking forward to that!
Love to you all!
Jim, Ally and James-z ;)
Us, Brainiacs at trivia... we came in 3rd place, but unfortunately there were only prizes for 1st and 2nd
James had fun looking for rocks and then handing them to Daddy. Mommy can't get enough of watching them interact!

Jim and Coburn are pretending to be falling off Stone Mountain. (Coburn was a drama major in college... can you tell? haha!)

And the girls tried it too... nope, no drama majors among us...
