Mee Maw’s Birthday lunch at Serenbe

This past week got off to a very rough start.  Riley and I were both sick, but luckily I bounced back fairly quickly.  Riley had some sort of stomach bug and was so sick.  She couldn’t even keep down water for 48 hours and was so pitiful.  We were home Monday and Tuesday but by Tuesday afternoon she was feeling better and bounced back pretty quickly once the “stuff” was out of her system.  I’m thankful to see her happy and healthy!

We had a great time at a “music class'” on Saturday morning.  We had a “play date” for the multiples club and there were over 100 people that came to the class.  The kids were notably quiet as the class began, but as soon as they came out of their shell there was no turning back.   They literally ran in circles dancing to the tunes.  Very Cute!  Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so no photos…I know – hard to believe.

Saturday evening Mee Maw came over and spent the night with us.  We all went to church this morning and then surprised Mee Maw that we were going to Serenbe for lunch to celebrate her birthday.  None of us had ever been there, but we were all very impressed.  We ate at The Farmhouse Inn and had an incredible lunch of fried chicken, pole beans, garlic mashed potatoes and squash soufflé…all fresh from the garden!  The area is about 25 miles south of the Atlanta airport, so it wasn’t a long drive from our house.  What a treat and we felt like we escaped to another land driving into this beautiful planned community.  What a perfect day with so many beautiful flowers in full bloom! 

Happy (early) Birthday Mee Maw!  We love you!

 

 
Ryan studied the menu like he was really reading it
 
We all loved the amazing biscuits!
 
The kiddos were so very well behaved.  I wonder if “the talk” I gave them before we went in was the reason why?!
