The Offical Close of Summer!

While the temperatures remain warm, Labor Day Weekend brought with it the first hint of fall. Monday morning pre-dawn temperatures were barely at 60 degrees. Steve and Donovan went for an early morning ride and actually had to use arm warmers for the first half of the ride!

Never one to wait around, Ann took the kids to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for the morning. The Shores came along and enjoyed an absolute gorgeous day.

Everyone playing nicely... Jackson, Catie and Abster are known far and wide for their cooperation and loving behavior.

"I tried kissing this frog but no prince to be found!!! "

The kids have been begging to go to the Zoo, so of course we obliged. It turned out that the baby giraffe naming ceremony was the day that we went to the zoo. And, when the world's biggest cake is made...the Schwartzes are there front row and center! The cookie cake was quite something... Jackson got all of the stats. It was 12 ft by 18 ft, weighed over 400 pounds, and had 2,400 pieces!!

Catie's favorite animals are lions and the Atlanta zoo has a outstanding lion exhibit. It is interesting how her temperament is so similar to that of a lion... As we say..."better a lion than a sheep!"

This is Mr. Frumble, walking across town without a worry to be had.....

Mr. Clean...
If you look carefully, you will notice that Catie lost her first tooth! She is also wearing a mood necklace... as you can imagine, that thing changes colors every five seconds...
