way overdue updates

Wow, it's been waaaaay too long since we've put a post up. I'm not even sure why since we've been doing a ton of things and had plenty to write about. So lets see, what have we been up to. A couple of weeks ago, we went down to Savannah with the family and hung out downtown and on RiverStreet. Then the next day we went up to Washington for the Tour of Homes that we go to every year.

Last weekend, we headed down to the Dogwood Festival which is always fun. They have tons of artists from all over the country with all kinds of things. Some are cool, a lot are waaaaaay to pretentious for our tastes, but its fun looking anyway. The thing we always enjoy the most is the canine competition. We mainly watch the frisbee catching dogs. It always amazing me. Whenever I try to get our dogs to catch a frisbee, they usually wait for it to drop, drag it off to the side and chew on it until it won't fly anymore.

This past weekend, we went down to Chastain Park to see the Black Eyed Peas concert. That was the first time we'd ever been down to Chastain, and it was a lot of fun. We stopped at Eatzi's, picked up some food and had a picnic at the concert which was very nice. I would recommend that anyone go down there, although the parking sucks. Also, the first round of playoffs for the Gwinnett Gladiators was this past weekend. We had to miss the first game (which they won), but we made it to the second game which was a real nail biter. They scored the tying goal with 22 seconds left on the clock to push it into overtime. They then won the game in overtime, so they are up two games in a best of 5 competition. WooHoo!

and what's a post without cute pictures of dogs?





vicious huh?


and some extreme closeups (Chewy wouldn't cooperate on this one):
