Weddings and What Not...

We've had an eventful past couple of weeks at the Sullivan house! We're finally about 95% done with our house renovations so I will be posting pics of the house in the next week or so! So glad to get everything done so we can start enjoying our new digs!

After getting Tyler completely well, we were able to have some fun the week of 8/15. Wednesday, Tyler and I went downtown to have dinner with my friend Ellen who was in town from DC!

We went to a really cute Italian place, but Tyler hit a wall around 8pm and fell asleep on the ride home. My poor little man! I had some serious mommy guilt for keeping him out so late! He's usually done by 7:45. But it was great to see Ellen and Tyler absolutely loved her! (Not to mention her sweet Penthouse hotel room. He stared out the window at the cars below for a good 45 minutes)

Friday, we had Sullivan Family Date night which included Pho and Ice Cream! One of our new fave places is called Scoops near downtown

Alpharetta. Tyler LOVES it there! Birthday Cake ice cream is his favorite!

Saturday morning we headed to Spartanburg for the wedding of one of my dear childhood friends.

Clay and I grew up across the street from each other. I've known him since he was 3 and I was 9. He's like my little brother! We spent almost every weekend together growing up and our families went on tons of vacations together!

I can't believe that "My Little Clay" is all grown up and getting married but I'm super excited for him. Congrats Clay and Sara!

While Ben and I went to the wedding with my Dad, my Mom stayed home and watched Tyler! She had a great time spoiling her grandchild. This involved putting him into a sugar coma with cookies and ice cream.

Sunday we headed home and I was able to make it to a going away dinner with the girls for my friend Caroline who will be moving to Tucson at the end of the month.

This past week we had our new neighbors Jill and Shaun over for dinner with their little girls Ava and Harper! Tyler had a ball playing with his new girlfriends!

Saturday, I had to work but Tyler had a sitter so that we could go to our friends Chris and Sabrina's housewarming party on Saturday night. Ben headed over with Mike and Roberta and I met up with them as soon as I was able to get out of the office.

Sunday we ran errands in the morning and then I met up with Steph and Dylan so that we could take the boys to ice cream while the Daddies did their Fantasy Football draft.

Good times were had all around!!!

The Great Plague!

After a fun first weekend in August filled with pool lounging and having friends over at the house, we got right back into the swing of things! I had to go to Memphis for work on Wednesday and Thursday and came back in time for Book Club on Thursday night! It was a great time and I actually read the book for once! Hooray! Virgin of Small Plains is a great read for any of you book lovers out there! Now I'm working on The Hunger Games for next month's meeting and I'm already addicted. What a GREAT series...if your into the Harry Potter/Twilight scene that is!

Friday, Tyler's school was closed for a teacher inservice so Ben and I played the "Work while trying to chase a toddler game." That lasted until after Tyler's nap and then we got on the road to Spartanburg to visit Nana and Papa for Papa's birthday! We met my parents and sister at Hans and Franz Biergarten in Greenville for some authentic German food and then headed to their house. The plan was to lounge by my parent's pool Saturday morning and then head home Saturday evening...that is until Tyler started running a fever Friday night. We left Spartanburg early on Saturday and took Tyler to Urgent Care in Atlanta. They diagnosed it as a cold but it got progressively worse and Monday he just felt rotten. You could tell...all he wanted was to be held. He slept for 4 hours during the day and just watched TV when he was awake. I took him to the doctor and they confirmed that it was just a virus that needed time to pass through his system. Good news is that by Monday night he was MUCH better and today he is back at school, Hooray!

Other highlights of the weekend included a visit from Kate (sis in law) and Matt (future brother in law who Tyler likes to call "Mapp") on Sunday. We ordered Pizza and went to the pool when Tyler was briefly showing signs of improvement. It was great to see them as usual!

Have a great week everyone, and remember to get your flu shot, haha!!!
