Fall fun...

Today I was feeling festive. David and I bought these adorable wine bottle labels last week at Michael's...so cute! I had to show them off in this post. My purpose for my domestic day was to make some things to take to my friend Courtney's house. She and her husband, Russell, just had their second child, Baby Jack; they also have Miss Lyza who is almost two. As any mother knows, two kids under 2 is hard, and since my friend Suzanne is Jack and Lyza's grandmother, I know this for sure. I decided to make her two Martha Stewart pasta dishes that can be served hot or cold. With all that I made, they'll have enough to last through the weekend too! I didn't want to leave Miss Lyza out, so she gets a surprise too. I included pics and recipes...they both turned out wonderfully!

Pumpkins, spooky vino, candied apples, and fall flowers...

I LOVE these wine bottle labels...compliments of Martha Stewart at Michael's.

If you don't have this gadget in your kitchen, then you should run out to get one immediately. David gave me one in college, and I have used it for everything from smoothies, to homemade pesto (like I showed here), to tomato relish. Its amazing, and is the handiest little size.

I had to include this tip because its just so handy!

Food for the week!

Miss Lyza gets a new Dora cup with floating Dora!

Ta-da! The final product.

Let's Go Dawgs!

 We had a great weekend in Athens cheering on the Dawgs, and hanging out with friends. Friday night, we hit Speak Easy for a wonderful dinner. After lunch at Red's on Saturday, Hollie, Wesley and I joined Kate and her precious sister and friend at General's. Nothing like a festive Game Day at General Beauregard just like the college days. David and I headed to Atlanta on Sunday to try to pull the Braves through to no avail. We had fun though!

Football = Happy Boys!

Yay for Meghan and Brian coming to join us!

An in depth discussion of the day's events...

Heyward took a hit against the wall, and Bobby brought reinforcements.

Beautiful day at Turner Field!

I don't know why, but David and I thought Bobby Cox running all the way to the outfield wall and back was pretty funny.

We tried to pull them through!

A sketchy day...

This is one of the drawings I have for sale at Heery's Too. I love the Arch and its always synonymous with The University of Georgia. I wanted to provide a sketch that was more guy-friendly! The coordinating note cards are also for sale there along with the sorority house drawings and stationary. Happy Tuesday!

Photo Sharing...

check out the post about us on Marianne Brown's photography blog.

She and I met as freshmen at UGA when we pledged ADPi...and I was lucky enough to run into her on the street in Athens a few weeks ago after not seeing her for some time while she was in Colorado. Marianne gave me her business card and I was impressed with her work. I promptly asked her how busy she was because I have been wanting some pictures of David and me, and our little family. She was tickled to be asked to come and shoot us and our "kids"!

A toast to the new Adams'!

About a month ago, David and I received the invitation to my friend Tammy Barfield's wedding in Augusta. Brince and Becca wanted to attend the wedding too, so we decided to make a weekend of the celebration. On Friday night, we met up at Lake Sinclair for a little downtime. Becca was the only one "iced", but I had to capture her holding the lake sign. On Saturday, we packed a lunch for the road and headed to Augusta. Our friends Summer Sterling and Phil met us at the hotel to join us for the wedding festivities. The church where Tammy and Sam were married was wonderfully charming, and she looked magnificent as a bride. Tammy and I have been friends all through middle-school, high-school, college, and after....so it was a pleasure to attend her nuptials after she and Sam so graciously attended my and David's wedding. The location for the reception was from a magazine, truly. Her food was delicious, the cakes divine, and her band was a blast. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Sam Adams! And thank you for including us in your special day!

Handsome men...beautiful view...pretty sweet houses in the background!

The River House at the River Club was the most beautiful location for Tammy and Sam's reception!

Tammy was one of the loveliest brides that I have ever seen!

After the reception, we headed to the Partridge Inn for the after party...

And then scooted back to our hotel for some late-night snacks!

Its usually a free-for-all as far as dinner goes on Sunday nights, and we normally resort to ordering our "Usual" pizza. However, tonight I used my talents for pulling together a meal and wanted to post it in case you all want to try it too! We had sauteed shrimp lettuce wraps with tomato, avocado and red onion relish. A medley of zucchini, green peppers, and roasted corn topped with the tomato relish was wonderful with the shrimp!
