Where has the time gone??

Ali is going to be 6 months next week. She is still an amazing baby. She is just getting too big too fast.

He's Leaving on a Midnight Plane Outta Georgia

Uncle Richard left on his mission for two years. He had a five hour layover in Atlanta, so the kids and Alisa decided to take a little road trip to keep him entertained while he waited for his flight to England. Not only were we excited to see Richard, but Alisa thought it would be a good experience for the boys to see Richard as "Elder Cunningham." On the way to Atlanta we talked about missions, why there are missionaries, and what missionaries do. Owen seemed to pick up on the important parts. Now every time we see the missionaries in our ward he asks... "Can they not watch tv or listen to music either?"

The kids were so excited to see Richard. Briggs wouldn't let go of him and Owen just kept running circles around him. It made it quite difficult to take any pictures.

Richard trying to hold on to all three kids. He kept asking...How did my mom do it with five?"

We headed over to the Georgia Aquarium, for a little entertainment (We forgot to check the "Missionary White Bible" to see if going to the aquarium during a layover was banned.)

Ali LOVED seeing Richard. She could not stop smiling at him.

Cheerio!!

Don't worry Pres... He only got his hand in the water

We wanted to make sure that Richard had plenty of time to get back before his plane left. We were about 15 minutes from the airport, so we thought leaving the aquarium 2 and a half hours would give him plenty of time. However, as we headed to the airport, we were sitting at a light waiting to turn left in the middle of downtown Atlanta. Richard asked, "Why is there a zebra running down the street?" I looked up and sure enough there was a zebra coming full force towards our car. We debated which was more important; get out the the zebra's way or find a camera, (We knew for believability this needed to be documented.) The zebra got to the middle of the intersection (about five feet from our car) stopped looked right, then looked left and then took a sharp right and ran down the street onto the freeway. Yes, that would be the freeway that we needed to get on to get Richard back to the airport. When we got onto the freeway it was like a parking lot. For a half hour we did not exceed the speed of 2 miles an hour. To make a long story not any longer, we did get Richard to the airport with a couple minutes to spare and he did make his plane. I know this story does not seem believable, that's why I have attached the story below...
