Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Planes, Trains, Buses and the Tomahawk Chop

These are all the things that made the day for 2 little boys! About a month ago we had some tickets to a Braves game. Uncle Aaron and Aunt Mae Mae went with us and taught them the "Tomahawk Chop" (and we got to see fireworks)! Ever since then, they constantly ask us to play "the chop" on you tube for them and they will do this over and over and over and over and over and over . . . . They absolutely love it!! We had tickets to go the the game again last night, for Chipper's farewell. Todd had wanted to go, but ended up leaving a day early for China and did not get to go. We were supposed to go with Aunt Kim, Uncle Chris, Savannah and Slade, but they were going Sat night and not so sure about doing it 2 nights in a row. So, I asked my parents to go and still had 3 extra tickets, which Aunt Lisa, Melissa and Andy gladly decided to use. Due to parking we decided to take MARTA. They drove down to College Park and we met them there. College Park is right by the airport. My boys stood in amazement as they watched the enormous planes literally pass right over their heads. They thought that was big stuff. It didn't stop there. Next we got on a train. Nothing compares to choo choo's these days . . . life was grand!! Then, we got on a bus . . . Jeremiah asks me every Sunday that he sees a bus if he can ride. Then to the Braves game to "get their chop on"! It was pure bliss for the 2 little ones. We made it through the game (the braves did lose unfortunately) and what happens on Fridays . . . FIREWORKS!!! It only made the night that much better. Our boys had a blast and we laughed at them much. Joshua was about to fall asleep but would chop every time the music played :) It wouldn't be right to leave out the bus ride from the stadium back to five points, though. We were PACKED on there (not surprised). But so packed that I was standing and holding Jeremiah and nothing else. Nope, I just bounced from person to person as we chugged along turning the corners. I think it may have scarred Jman from riding buses for life!!! All in all, I'm so glad that we went. The smiles on their faces for the entire night was priceless!!
