Atlanta Visit

While my sister was still in the hospital in early March, we all made a trip down to Atlanta to visit her and the whole family.  I was actually down there Thursday through Monday (the day she got out of the hospital) to help out in any way I could and Jonathan brought the kids down for the weekend.  Saturday morning we visited Tracy in the hospital, taking her outside in a wheelchair (she was walking just fine at that point, but she hadn’t been “cleared” yet to walk on her own), and were just amazed by her progress in just the few days we’d been gone.  Ella and Jack loved giving their Aunt Tracy hugs and seeing for themselves that she was every bit the Aunt Tracy they knew and loved.  We knew by the end of our visit with her in the hospital that, by that point, there was really no reason for her to be in the hospital any longer.  And sure enough, once the workweek started on Monday, her evaluation and paperwork were completed and she was home by noon.

While Jonathan, Jack, and Ella were in town over the weekend, though, we thought some quality time with the cousins was in order so went on a fun outing with Zane and Drew (Jake was at a Boy Scout event) to the Chattahoochee Nature Center.  We had a gorgeous day and really enjoyed exploring the nature center, seeing the many animals (raptors mostly) and just taking in the beautiful day. 

And some more pictures from the weekend visit, fishing from Tracy and Ken’s dock:
