Just a little grilling out and dance party.

Quiet Night at Home?!?
Two weeks before their big day, Helen & Jeff came up for a weekend visit. Saturday consisted of sitting by the pool all day, sippin' on gin & juice (actually, it was rum) then we had our little cook out party. Whenever Dramy (Amy), Drocotor (Matt), Drunkle (Jeff) and Ellen (Helen) get together, fun is sure to follow. We had an amazing meal, thanks to the dudes, and after dinner we had a small dance party in our apartment. Sorry to all of our neighbors below and beside us! The two of them will be back in August, and we couldn't be more excited. Lots of love!
Congrats!
Congratulations Garrison! I, along with the rest of our family, are so incredibly proud of you.
You have so much to look forward to and my prayer is that you will continue to ask God to lead you in the path that is meant to be your life.
I love you and couldn't be happier for you!
Good luck to you always.

Garrison Turned 22!
Baby Brother, Garrison James, turned 22 last week on SSI. Matt and I drove down from ATL that afternoon, and had a fun birthday party at Bennie's Red Barn. Had a great group of folks who came to celebrate, and we all had such a nice time! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER BEAR!
And yes, I will continue to call you that even though you're 22 now!
I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday, seriously...first of all, when we found out Mom and Dad were pregnant again, Jess, Sissy and I ran away for a few minutes - all the way down tho the end of our neighborhood. Hilarious. It was just too many Spearman's to deal with. Overload. Thinking back, I can hardly believe Mom & Dad had three kids, and one on the way, by the time they were exactly my age. Wow. How did they do it?!?
Then, the day he was born -- his gender being a surprise of course, I made Dad take me to the mall for a gift. Not for the newborn, for myself. Some things have changed, some have not. :)
Garrison is an awesome young man and I'm proud to be your big(gest) sister!
My nephew was here this weekend, and everything about it was perfect, minus the fact that he had to leave! He completely makes life so much better, and made Matt and I both even more ready for one of our own.
He got here Friday night, we had dinner, took a bath (that guy could stay in the tub for HOURS!) and then we crashed, as it was late. Matt stayed in our guest room so that I could sleep with Joey in the bed. I didn't want him to wake up being scared here and not know where he was. So, Saturday AM we got up, Sissy came over with Chic-fil-a for breakfast, and we headed to the Atlanta Zoo! It was so fantastic. We met Dad there, or Pops as he's more known for now.
The animals were hilarious (lots of mating rituals appeared to be going on, guess it's that time of year?!) and we especially loved seeing Willie B. Junior. He was hysterical. Gorillas are such brilliant creatures and I firmly believe WBJ was looking up at us thinking "What are those crazy people doing just watching me sit in a puddle of water? They need to get a life!" --- he clapped for us one time, and as we watched him eat his onion, one layer at a time, he was just looking at us thinking something...not sure what he was thinking, but I'm sure we looked pretty dumb to him. Saw the panda bears, snakes, turtles, elephants, and meerkats, who are too funny as well. All in all, a great day. I'll never forget it, and I do hope that Joey will remember it too!
After dinner at Tin Lizzy's, where Sissy works, we came home and Baby J and I went to our pool for a bit, we splashed some and then came in for yet another bath where he could play with his souveniers from the zoo....all the animals you can imagine, we got him. After the bath we played a serious game of hide and seek. My favorite part of it all was that he told me exactly where to hide when he was the seeker, as he called himself. What a fun personality! Whereever does he get it?!?

It was such a great day and weekend. Jess has done such an awesome job with him and he's truly a joy! Can't wait to see him again soon!
